Cardiac Sonography (Echocardiography) is a diagnostic medical imaging specialty that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce dynamic visual images of the heart and great vessels.The Cardiac Sonography program prepares individuals to operate as a Cardiac Sonographer (i.e. Echocardiographer), to aid in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, valvular disease, pericardial diseases, and other cardiovascular issues. Cardiac Sonographers (Echocardiographers) evaluate cardiac function and output, anatomic size, shape, and motion of internal cardiac structures, assess physiological changes that may affect normal hemodynamic pressure and cardiovascular blood flow, and operate/troubleshoot diagnostic equipment to support Cardiologists in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease.
