echocardiograph
Cardiac ultrasound device
An echocardiograph is a machine that uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart, allowing doctors to examine its structure and function.
The procedure it performs is echocardiography; the resulting image is an echocardiogram.
The echocardiograph revealed a small hole in the heart's septum.
