Diagnostic imaging embraces several procedures that aid in diagnosing many disease conditions. Cardiovascular sonographers use special equipment to direct non-ionizing, high frequency sound waves into areas of the patient's body. Sonographers operate the equipment which collects reflected echoes and forms an image that may be recorded, transmitted, or photographed for interpretation and diagnosis by a physician.
