Cardiac Ultrasound Technology - Southeast Technical Institute

Cardiac Ultrasound Technology from Southeast Technical Institute is a Campus Associate Medical Sonography and Ultrasound degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Cardiovascular Technologists perform various diagnostic procedures so that a diagnosis may be established concerning that patient?s cardiovascular system. The Cardiovascular Technologist reviews and records pertinent patient history and supporting data through the use of special equipment to direct nonionizing, high frequency sound waves into areas of the patient?s body. Cardiovascular Technologists operate the equipment, which collects reflected echoes and forms an image that can be videotaped, transmitted, or photographed for interpretation and diagnosis by a physician. Cardiac sonographers perform their noninvasive study primarily on the heart, looking at its walls, chambers, valves, vessels and functions.
