Post Graduate Diploma in Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography or Sonography is a procedure of diagnosing internal conditions of different parts of the body by using high-frequency sound waves which are inaudible to human ears. The sound wave creates a path that processes the waves into videos that help sonographers to exactly know what’s going on inside the patient’s body.
