A Diagnostic Sonographer utilizes high frequency sound waves to produce, record, and evaluate ultrasound images of the heart, great vessels and surrounding anatomy. The Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer must be proficient in various different ultrasound modalities including M-mode, 2-Dimensional, Doppler and Color Doppler imaging. This occupation requires specialized technical skills, critical thinking and problem-solving ability as well as medical knowledge including anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to render quality care. Individuals must be able to correlate related patient data, apply physics principles in order to obtain optimal images for rendering a diagnosis, and develop differential diagnoses based on patient history and examination findings. The curriculum uses didactic, laboratory, and clinical instruction to achieve its goal of preparing students to care for cardiac patients.
