From my own search I realised that there is a difference between Radiography and Sonography. Sonography deals with using the sound technology mainly. I stand to be corrected anyway. My problem is, I do not know any Nigeria University that offer it. Pls, if you know where I can receive the training do let me know. I love the course, even though I already posses B.sc in medicine.

Radiology involves the use of various types of technology, including those that involve radiation, such as CT scans and MRIs. Sonographers utilize ultrasound, or high-frequency sound waves, to create images inside the body. Sonography does not include the use of radiation.

Radiography and Sonography are both medical imaging modalities, but they use different technologies and have distinct differences:

Radiography (X-ray):

1. Uses ionizing radiation (X-rays) to produce images.
2. Images internal structures, such as bones, lungs, and organs.
3. Commonly used for diagnosing fractures, lung diseases, and foreign objects.
4. Produces 2D images.

Sonography (Ultrasound):

1. Uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images.
2. Images internal structures, such as organs, blood vessels, and fetuses.
3. Commonly used for diagnosing gallstones, liver disease, and monitoring pregnancy.
4. Produces 2D or 3D images.

Key differences:

1. Radiation: Radiography uses ionizing radiation, while Sonography uses non-ionizing sound waves.
2. Image production: Radiography produces images based on radiation absorption, while Sonography produces images based on sound wave reflection.
3. Application: Radiography is commonly used for skeletal and respiratory systems, while Sonography is used for abdominal, obstetric, and vascular imaging.

While both modalities are essential in medical imaging, the choice between Radiography and Sonography depends on the specific diagnostic needs and patient requirements.

What do you mean by B.sc in medicine? Haha
