The Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JDMS) is the bimonthly, peer-reviewedmedical journal of the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS), and has been in publication since 1985. JDMS publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts supporting the translational use of medical ultrasound for diagnosis, intervention, and other clinical applications by a sonographer, sonologist, or other health care provider. The JDMS provides research, clinical, and educational content for all specialties, including but not limited to abdominal, women's health, pediatric, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and other emerging sonography practice areas. The journal's scope also includes research on instrumentation, physics, and technical advancements of ultrasonography, as well as research on sonographer education and other professional issues, including ergonomics and the prevention of work-related injuries.
JDMS accepts Original Research, Literature Reviews, Case Studies, Symposia (related to education, policy, technology, or professional issues), and Letters to the Editor. Author resources, editorial board information, and subscription and advertising opportunities are available on the SDMS website.
Abstracting and indexing
The Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography received its first impact factor listed within the Journal Citation Reports in 2022. The journal is also abstracted and indexed in:
Medical ultrasound includes diagnostic techniques using ultrasound, as well as therapeutic applications of ultrasound. In diagnosis, it is used to create an image of internal body structures such as tendons, muscles, joints, blood vessels, and internal organs, to measure some characteristics or to generate an informative audible sound. The usage of ultrasound to produce visual images for medicine is called medical ultrasonography or simply sonography, or echography. The practice of examining pregnant women using ultrasound is called obstetric ultrasonography, and was an early development of clinical ultrasonography. The machine used is called an ultrasound machine, a sonograph or an echograph. The visual image formed using this technique is called an ultrasonogram, a sonogram or an echogram.
Medical physics deals with the application of the concepts and methods of physics to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases with a specific goal of improving human health and well-being. Since 2008, medical physics has been included as a health profession according to International Standard Classification of Occupation of the International Labour Organization.
Echocardiography, also known as cardiac ultrasound, is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart. It is a type of medical imaging, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. The visual image formed using this technique is called an echocardiogram, a cardiac echo, or simply an echo.
Semmelweis University is a research-led medical school in Budapest, Hungary, founded in 1769. With six faculties and a doctoral school it covers all aspects of medical and health sciences.
A sonographer is an allied healthcare professional who specializes in the use of ultrasonic imaging devices to produce diagnostic images, scans, videos or three-dimensional volumes of anatomy and diagnostic data. The requirements for clinical practice vary greatly by country. Sonography requires specialized education and skills to acquire, analyze and optimize information in the image. Due to the high levels of decisional latitude and diagnostic input, sonographers have a high degree of responsibility in the diagnostic process. Many countries require medical sonographers to have professional certification. Sonographers have core knowledge in ultrasound physics, cross-sectional anatomy, physiology, and pathology.

Doppler ultrasonography is medical ultrasonography that employs the Doppler effect to perform imaging of the movement of tissues and body fluids, and their relative velocity to the probe. By calculating the frequency shift of a particular sample volume, for example, flow in an artery or a jet of blood flow over a heart valve, its speed and direction can be determined and visualized.
