You have to know normal anatomy backwards and forwards so that you can easily spot pathology. There is not much they teach you in these programs that you won't be using in your career. Once you enter a program (especially in the medical field) you are learning pertinent information that you can't just forget after your test, you really will use it for the rest of your life. It is a great career path, there are tons of options and flexibility within ultrasound so you can focus in on the areas you really enjoy. Good luck :) I already answered your other question about DMS, but as for your question about using biology and anatomy on a daily basis…yes, you absolutely do.
