Description:

3 credits Diagnostic medical sonographic imaging of the female (non-gravid) pelvic anatomy and respective physiologies are studied within the context of other imaging and testing techniques typically used to evaluate normal and abnormal pelvic status. Students become familiar with typical requests submitted to diagnostic ultrasound departments as well as with appropriate ultrasound imaging techniques. Lectures, practical demonstrations, on-line searches, and group discussions will be used to understand the normal growth and development of the fetus through conception to delivery and the post-partum status. Introduction to basic obstetrical pathologies will be discussed concurrently to compare and contrast to the normal condition. Second and Third Trimester evaluation of the normally developing fetus as well as pathological conditions will also be covered during this course.
