A: Hey Jim, what’s the difference between ultrasound tech and x-ray technicians?
B: While x ray tech or ultrasound tech are both medical technician occupations, they perform very different functions because they handle different kinds of equipment. An x-ray technician operates an x-ray machine while an ultrasound tech operates a sonogram.
A: What’s the difference between the two procedures?
B: X-rays are generally more dangerous, because they use radioactive waves to create images of the bones inside our body. Sonograms are very safe – even safe to use on pregnant women and people with weak immune systems.
A: Why is that?
B: Because sonograms use sound waves – which are perfectly harmless, given the frequency used in a typical sonography procedure.
A: I understand. That’s really interesting. Where can a read more about diagnostic medical sonography? Can you recommend a good website?
B: Try a few of the articles at ultrasoundtechniciancenter.org. They have a variety of topics about sonography you can choose from.
A: Alright. Thank you, Jim!
B: You’re welcome!
