Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographers are highly skilled professionals who use specialized ultrasound equipment to record visual images of the heart. They work in hospitals and outpatient settings producing these echocardiograms to assist the physician in diagnosing heart disease. Watch Sonography Career video for an overview.
