Cardiac sonographer

A medical profession of sonographersthat specialize on the anatomy and function of the heart. It is a technical job that in the USA usually requires only an Associates degreein that particular field. Much like how a general sonographer would use sonography (ultrasound) to view a fetusinside a pregnant woman, cardiac sonographers use the same technology to examine and evaluate the heart; arrangement of the parts, muscle function, valve function and blood flow. Cardiac sonographers typically do not make diagnoses, but rather report all that they find to a medical doctorfor further analysis.nn:Ekkoteknikar no:Ekkotekniker
