my nephew wants to became a sonogram what are the requirements?

Answer 1

"A sonogram, also known as an ultrasound, is a computerized picture taken by bouncing sound waves off organs and other interior body parts."

Wow. Just... wow. Does he wanna be a fire engine also?

OH!!! This is in the law section!!! Do you mean a STENOGRAPHER (Court reporter)? Well, first he needs to ignore any attempts you make to teach him proper english and grammar.

After that: Qualifications vary anywhere from one year all the way to almost four years. Voice writing takes the least amount of time, while stenotypist education requires the longest. There are several technical/vocational schools, community/junior colleges, and colleges and universities across the country that offer a court reporting/transcription degree. In addition to training, states have their own requirements. Some states require the candidate to pass a state-administered test; other states require licensure. Some states only require the potential court reporter to be a notary. Certification by a professional organization is usually mandatory. There are different levels of certification and all reflect highly on the individual.

Answer 2

I would hope he wants to be a sonogram technician.....otherwise he would be a grainy picture taken with sound waves!

He would need to be a high school grad/ GED equivalent and attend either college or a technical school the offers sonography.

That is if he wants to be a technician - to be the actual sonogram.....I really can't help ya.

Answer 3

First he needs to go to medical school.

a sonogram is the result of having an ultrasound taken. Any doctor can read a sonogram, which by the way are given when you are pregnant to see the baby's growth.

But ultra sounds are used for other medical diagnosis as well.

Answer 4

He cannot want to became anything because he became what he is in the past. He can never become a sonogram no matter what he does.

Answer 5

Sonographer? He has to go to college for two years and get an associate's degree. Look for a college that has an Allied Health program and that would be the school he could go to. In San Antonio, you get a radiography degree and then work on getting a sonography certificate. You have to take a test after finishing college to get licensed in your state.

Answer 6

If he wants to be a sonogram, hed have to get back in the womb...

Answer 7

he needs to stay in school and find out what a sonogram is first? or perhaps its you that doesn't know..

Answer 8

hi how u doing just want you to try check these out.........................Sonasound

logg on to....http://sonasound.sourceforge.net/reqs.html
Requirements
Some kind of Unix (Tested under Mac OSX, Linux (Intel and PowerPC) and Solaris 8)
FFTW Version 2.* or 3.* (then you need pkg-config as well)
OpenGL
GLU
GTK (1.2.*) (A Port to version 2.* will maybe be done)
gtk-glarea (newest version corresponding to Gtk 1.2.*)
Portaudio (V18 or V18-patch)
LibSndFile (>= 1.0.1)
Features
Adjustables:
Buffer size
Sampling rate
Number of FFT-points
Number of LPC-coefficients
Sound device
Window type for analysis-buffer (hamming, hanning, blackmann, bartlett, kaiser, rectangular)
Display type (logarithmic or linear)
Reference A (default 440 Hz) for the staff-lines
Type of spectrum generation: FFT or LPC
Presets for different kinds of analysis tasks
Scale-factor for spectral display to allow for full usage of window and colour-palette
Number of seconds to be displayed in the waveform-view
Input from File or from Soundcard
What it does:
Check for OpenGL-support, set up windows, measure fastest FFT-method or read it from wisdom-file
start audio-engine in new thread and calculate FFT or LPC from the given buffer size (Windowing-functions are applied to either the number of samples in one buffer or to the number of samples corresponding to the number of FFT-points, whatever is smaller)
Draw waveform, FFT-view and one sonogram-strip every time a new audio-buffer arrives. Shift sonogram one pixel to the left and discard the leftmost strip
LPC: autoregressive calculation of the filter-coefficients followed by frequency response with half the number of FFT-points
Caveats:
LPC-calculation takes quite a long time, be careful on slow (less than 700MHz) systems.
memmove is slow on Mac OSX: Don't choose too large a buffer.
Textures under Linux are limited to sizes of powers of two, so making the sonogram-view too large for your graphics card (typically larger than 512 by 512 or 1024 by 1024) may give you a white window and lots of error-messages.
Solution: make the window smaller! This is an OpenGL-limitation (More exactly a MESA-limitation) and doesn't apply on Mac OSX, because there I'm using a different way of blitting. It is known from some Linux-Systems (noteably those with NVIDIA-Cards) that "./configure --enable-fast-ga" speeds up the display immensely. Just try it, it won't break anything :-)
Resizing the window when playing garbles the sonogram-view, because there is no way of knowing what happens inside the graphics-card-memory.
Large values (>=512) for the number of LPC-coefficients together with large values for the number of FFT-points (>=4096) slows the display down to unusable.
Solution: choose a larger buffer (then the redrawing doesn't happen that often) or a smaller number of FFT-points.
The calculation of the waveform takes a long time, because of the large amount of data to be processed.
Solution: choose a smaller range of seconds to be displayed or a larger buffer.
Switching from file-input to soundcard-input requires closing the sounddevice
Solution: For performance reasons I have to reallocate lots of buffers. so no soultion ATM.
On PPC-computers stopping the playback results in an endless loop of the last buffer.
Solution: This seems to be a portaudio version18-patch bug. Close the device or restart the playback.

Answer 9

If you could stuff your nephew back into the womb of his mother...... that's where he should start. Tell him to smile!

Answer 10

did he tell Mom yet ?
