What is Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography?

Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography (DCS) is a specialized imaging technique that focuses on capturing detailed images of the heart and vascular system. This non-invasive method uses high-frequency sound waves to assess cardiac structures, blood flow, and vascular health, playing a vital role in diagnosing cardiovascular conditions.

Cardiovascular sonographers, also known as echocardiography sonographers, are critical to healthcare teams, providing essential imaging to guide the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases and blood flow disorders. CCI’s DCS program equips students with hands-on experience in echocardiography and vascular sonography, ensuring they are prepared to excel in this advanced medical field. The program emphasizes the role of cardiovascular imaging in supporting cardiologists and improving patient outcomes.
