Echo Technologist

The primary role of the cardiac sonographer is to obtain diagnostic recordings of cardiac ultrasound images and Doppler hemodynamic data. The technique is operator-dependent, and its optimal performance requires a highly skilled and well-educated individual who can continuously integrate known clinical information, ultrasound image content and related physiologic data to tailor the examination to ensure that it is comprehensive and accurate.

Work schedules are coordinated to ensure adequate workload coverage at the hospital. Echo Technologists are required to participate in on-call rotation based on department needs outside of business hours.
