Prenatal Sonographers use these machines to specifically view images of a females’ reproductive system and also an unborn child. The waves that are sent out produce an echo that is then converted into photo images to see the placenta, ovaries, the amniotic sac and even the fetus.

The Most Dangerous Game was a story made by Richard Connell in 1924, and had a movie adaptation in 1932. The short story tells about a man stranded on an island by the name of Rainsford. He finds Zaroff, a general with a great lust for hunting, who hunts people and Rainsford himself going to be hunted. He then attempts to outwit the general and ends up possibly taking his place. The film tries to encapsulate the excitement and story of the original version with more enticing visual effects and mostly succeeds.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that can affect many women. It is also “an incurable disorder that affects 1 in 10 women and over 50% do not know they have it” (PCOS Awareness Association, 2014). An ultrasound exam can reveal that women with PCOS have a collection of follicles on enlarged ovaries. The particular cause of polycystic ovary syndrome is unknown. It could be connected to long-term complications; therefore, doctors recommend weight loss to reduce this risk. Also, early diagnosis and treatment can have an impact on deciphering if a woman will have long-term complications. Such complications include type 2

The article, “Transvaginal Sonography: perception and attitude of Nigerian women” was written to express the results and findings of an experiment. Wanting to gain information on how these women perceived transvaginal sonography (TVS), they conducted this experiment in Nigeria that involved 255 women that gave consent to receive a TVS by certified sonographers (Okeji et al., 2017). They wanted to receive feedback from the women after receiving the TVS to conclude their overall pain level and experience during the procedure. What they found was that most women did not find it painful nor awkward and would receive another in the future (Okeji et al., 2017). They also found that the more education these women had received in their life time,
Diagnostic Medical Sonography is a career that I just learned about this year. I never expected to do anything in the medical field but the more I research about this career, the more it interests me. I love helping people and another career path I have looked at is something in pediatrics. With sonography, I would be able to look at the fetus and make sure everything is fine with the pregnancy. There would be many aspects of this job that I think I would enjoy.
