WHAT IS Cardiovascular Sonography?
A cardiovascular sonographer utilizes high-frequency sound (ultrasound) to provide physicians with images of the heart (echocardiogram) and vasculature.
Cardiac and vascular sonographers typically work in hospitals, physician's offices, and mobile health services, Monday through Friday, 40 hours per week. In 2009 the median annual salary for a sonographer was about $63,000.
