sonographers
Fetal picture takers
Sonographers are medical professionals who operate ultrasound equipment to produce diagnostic images of the body's internal structures.
They position patients, apply gel, and manipulate transducers to capture images of organs, fetuses, blood vessels, or other tissues.
The sonographer measured the baby's head circumference during the prenatal exam.
Also called ultrasound technicians.
