Provides the instructor and student an opportunity to develop special learning environments. Instruction is delivered through occupational work experiences, practicums, advanced projects, industry sponsored workshops, seminars, or specialized and/or innovative learning arrangements. Topics include: application of occupational/technical skills, adaptability to the work environment, and problem solving. Each course should be documented with a written agreement between the instructor and the student detailing expected requirements. This course is offered with variable credit ranging from one quarter hour credit minimum to 12 quarter hour credit maximum. Credit hours are to be computed on the basis of: 30 hours of student required work = 1 credit hour.

4.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the normal sonographic appearance of abdominal anatomy, female and male pelvic anatomy, and the vascular system in the abdomen and pelvis. Topics include: normal anatomy of biliary system, pancreas, urinary tract, spleen, prevertebral vessels, peritoneal cavity, retroperitoneum, gastrointestinal tract, non-cardiac chest, and male and female pelvic anatomy; history and physical examination; related imaging, laboratory results, and functional testing procedures; role of ultrasound in patient management; sonographic appearance and sonographic patterns of structures in the abdomen, female pelvis, male pelvis, and vascularity related to each area. 09052007

4.00 Credits
This course introduces detailed normal anatomy in various planes used during sonographic examinations. Information is weighted toward normal structures which are sonographically visible. Structures are described according to relative location and proportionality. Anatomy is identified in both cadaver and sonographic modes. Structures include the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. Emphasis is placed on sonographically identifying normal cross sectional anatomy based on echogenicity, the position of other relative anatomy and proportionality of size. Topics include: normal sectional anatomy of the neck: vascular and thyroid; normal sectional anatomy of the adult chest; normal sectional anatomy of the abdomen in adults; normal sectional anatomy of the male and female pelvis; and normal sectional anatomy of the extremities: muscles. 09252007

Prerequisites: DMS 131, DMS 132. Introduces gynecology physiology, pathology, and procedures for diagnostic medical sonography. Emphasis is on female and male pelvic anatomy, physiology and anomalies, pathology complications, gynecology, and patient care/preparation. Topics include: physiology of pelvis; history and physical examination; contraceptive devices and infertility procedures; sonographic appearance of gynecologic disease processes, pathology, pathophysiology and abnormal sonographic patterns of iatrogenic, degenerative, inflammatory, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, obstructive, congenital, metabolic, and immunologic diseases; Doppler applications; differential diagnosis; scanning of the prostate in the male pelvis; and related imaging, laboratory, and functional testing procedures. 09052007

5.00 Credits
Prerequisites: DMS 131, DMS 132. Introduces abdominal anatomy, pathology, and procedures for diagnostic medical sonography. Topics include: anatomy, pathology and diagnostic procedures of the liver, biliary tree, pancreas, urinary tract, adrenal glands, spleen, prevertebral vessels, periotoneal cavity, retro-peritoneum, GI tract, and non-cardiac chest; scanning protocol based on sonographic findings and differential diagnosis; history and physical examination; related imaging, laboratory, and functional testing procedures; clinical differential diagnosis; role of ultrasound in patient management; and sonographic appearance of disease processes, pathology, pathophysiology and abnormal sonographic patterns of iatrogenic, degenerative, inflammatory, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, obstructive, congenital, metabolic, and immunologic diseases.

3.00 Credits
Introduces concepts for the factors involved with diagnostic ultrasound principles and instruments. Emphasis will be placed on basic ultrasound physics, transducer construction, operation and characteristics, artifacts and adjustable physics parameters. Topics include: sound properties, sound units, sound measurements, ultrasound transducers, imaging instruments, ultrasound machine adjustable parameters, and display modes. 09052007

8.00 Credits
Prerequisites: DMS 131, DMS 132, DMS 136. Provides students with an introduction into the hospital/clinic setting work experience. Students perform procedures introduced in Foundations of Sonography and manipulate equipment based on information from Sonographic Appearance and Normal Anatomy. Emphasis is placed on performing those procedures presented in Pelvic Sonography and Pathology and Abdominal Sonography and Pathology and learning to identify normal anatomy presented in Cross Sectional Anatomy. Control of the physical parameters of the sonography unit and application of sonographic physics as it relates to image quality are covered. Topics include: equipment manipulation for optimum image resolution; scanning procedures for abdominal sonography; normal anatomy and pathologic conditions of the abdomen; normal female pelvic anatomy; female pelvic pathology, including uterine fibroids and bicornuate uterus; scanning of the female pelvis trans-abdominally, trans-vaginally and trans-perineally; normal and abnormal prostate in males; ectopic pregnancies; patient care issues: patient preparation, fundamentals of patient history taking, confidentiality, pertinent clinical laboratory values, and communication; and pathology versus normal abdominal anatomy. Sonographic examinations are conducted under direct and indirect supervision. 09052007
