RADIOLOGICTECHNOLOGIST: Radiologic technologists operate machinery that emits invisible radiation, which creates images of bones, muscles, and other tissues. Sometimes called x-ray techs, professionals in the field often specialize in performing one type of testing, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or mammography.
DIAGNOSTIC MEDICAL SONOGRAPHER: Often referred to as ultrasound technologists, diagnostic medical sonographers perform tests using a transducer device, which is a hand-held device that emits sound waves. Technologists capture images in a still photograph and/or through recording live video. Sonographers may specialize in a specific field type of imaging like obstetrical and gynecological ultrasounds or neurosonography (images of the brain and spinal cord).
NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGISTS: Nuclear medicine technologists administer injections or oral or inhaled doses of drugs called radiopharmaceuticals into patients and then use equipment that emits gamma rays to create images. Rather than photographing the structure of internal organs, these tests create pictures of chemical processes occurring in organs like the heart or brain.
The radiometric signature of thorium, in combination with the hyperspectral signature of carbonate minerals, can be a useful indicator of rare earth mineral occurrences in air-borne geophysical exploration. Recent technological advancements have allowed unmanned aircraft system (UAS)--borne spectral imaging and gamma-ray spectroscopy systems to acquire high-spatial-resolution data. In this study, we attempted to define and map an area of interest for rare earth mineral exploration using UAS-borne spectral and gamma-ray spectroscopy systems. Gamma-ray spectroscopy data were used to define an area of interest. Short-wave infrared imagery was used to detect and map carbonate minerals within the area of interest. Gamma-ray spectroscopy data successfully outlined an area of interest for rare earth element exploration consistent with ground-truth rock samples, geochemical analysis, and previous geological mapping. Hyperspectral image classification using spectral angle mapper (SAM) and spectral information divergence-spectral angle mapper hybrid method (SID-SAM) methods mapped carbonate minerals within the defined area of interest most successfully. Combining high-resolution UAS remote sensing with geophysical methods provides more robust results than a single method alone.

The Ultrasonographer Program is a 1-year sonography program with two different pathway options to become eligible for the application. Please review our prerequisite page for more information. Students will learn how to produce diagnostic images in both abdominal and obstetrical ultrasound. The program consists of four terms and begins every July.
Prior to graduation, students will be eligible to take the Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) exam. Upon completion of the SPI, graduates of this program will be eligible to take the specialty exams; includes Abdomen and Obstetrics & Gynecology. NOTE: This program does not provide any clinical training in Echocardiography or Vascular Ultrasound. For experience and training in those areas please look to Weber State University.
University of Utah Health has more than 7 locations throughout the valley, allowing students to experience clinical care in both an inpatient hospital setting, as well as the outpatient environment. Students will have the opportunity to work one on one with each sonographer to learn the skills that will help them become an entry level tech by graduation.
There are many benefits to using ultrasound. One of those benefits is zero radiation exposure. There have been no adverse effects of using ultrasound, however students will still be taught the principle of ALARA. This means to keep scanning to an acceptable minimum and only use it in a diagnostic setting.
The ultrasound program consists of both weekly in-class instruction as well as 30 hours of clinical. The total number of clinical hours to be completed in the program is 1400 hrs. Within clinical work, there are specific exams students will need to show proficiency in. Midway through the program, successful students will be eligible to take the ARDMS SPI exam. This test currently consists of 110 multiple choice questions and needs to be passed within 5 years of completing the ultrasound program. Upon completion of all clinical hours, class work, and the SPI exam, students will then be eligible to sit for a specialty exam; abdomen and OB/GYN being the most common. Each specialty exam is comprised of 170 multiple choice questions. By completing both the SPI, and one or more of the specialty exams, the sonographer will then officially be certified by ARDMS.
University of Utah Health is excited to introduce their newest program to the mix of imaging programs. Students will be provided with the opportunity to learn from very experienced, talented, and knowledgeable sonographers. Through completion of the program and working with and learning from the Universities sonographers, students will have what they need to be competitive in the field of ultrasonography.
