Yes, ultrasound tech and diagnostic medical sonographer are the same thing. You have to learn a lot more than just the "baby stuff" - it's used to examine many parts of the body, such as the abdomen, breasts, female reproductive system, prostate, heart, and blood vessels. Sonography is increasingly being used in the detection and treatment of heart disease, heart attack, and vascular disease that can lead to stroke. After you go through school, you can choose to work in an OB clinic or something like that, if you want to stick with the baby stuff.
