An Eco-cardiographer (or cardiac sonographer) is a health professional who uses a range of diagnostic tools, including ultrasonic equipment, to produce diagnostic images, video loops, laboratory data and three dimensional and four-dimensional volumes of cardiovascular anatomy.
Careers path
Eco-cardiographers are highly specialised health professionals, who require specialised education and skills to view, analyse, modify and provisionally report on cardiac scans. An eco-cardiographer has an important degree of responsibility within the diagnostic process and often work closely with surgical staff. Eco-cardiographers are in demand in many public and private health facilities, and this demand is likely to grow due to the aging population.
