Title: Advancing Recognition of the Responsibilities of Cardiac Sonographers
Abstract: For patients undergoing echocardiographic examinations, and for physicians responsible for interpreting echocardiograms and providers of health care who order echocardiograms, the importance of the cardiac sonographer cannot be overstated. A cardiac sonographer is an allied health professional with special education and training who is responsible for performing and recording diagnostic echocardiograms. The cardiac sonographer typically makes a number of measurements and calculations that are important considerations in the final diagnostic interpretation that is prepared and rendered by the physician responsible for the overall echocardiography service.
