Purpose
What is Cardiovascular Sonography?
Cardiovascular sonographers are part of a healthcare team that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular sonographers utilize ultrasound to provide physicians with diagnostic images of the heart and vessels throughout the body. Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging modality without radiation. Through ultrasound cardiovascular sonographers can provide a better understanding of heart structure and function as well as quantify blood flow throughout the body. Cardiovascular sonographers work directly with patients for the duration of each imaging exam and have the opportunity to work in a variety of healthcare settings.
Mission
The Cardiovascular Sonography Program mission is to provide the graduates with the knowledge, clinical skills, and effective behaviors for a career in sonography.
