The Bachelor of Health Sciences in Diagnostic Sonography at DUT qualifies graduates as ultrasound radiographers registered with the HPCSA. Using high-frequency sound waves, sonographers produce images of blood vessels, organs, and tissues to support clinical diagnosis of conditions including tumours, gallstones, foetal development, and cardiac abnormalities. South Africa's healthcare sector increasingly relies on diagnostic ultrasound for its safety, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, creating strong demand for qualified sonographers in public and private facilities.
