Mission
Echocardiography (or Echo) is another name for Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Sonography (NICVS), a diagnostic technique used to image or visualize the heart and blood vessels. It is a powerful yet authentic tool that has the ability to provide a wealth of information regarding the human heart and peripheral blood vessels.
Using a highly specialized scanner known as a transducer (or probe), which is connected to the echo machine, echocardiography (a cardiac ultrasound) is carried out. The transducer transmits high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) into the human body after attaching to the chest’s skin. The heart and blood vessels reflect these ultrasound waves back to the transducer. The echo machine’s screen displays the images created from the sound waves from the transducer.
The echocardiography program provides a comprehensive explanation of how Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Sonography works. Stellar Career College’s cardiac ultrasound programs in Indiana enable students to develop a thorough understanding of how the diagnosis is carried out, from setting the machine’s frequencies to obtaining required results while keeping patient care intact.
