4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CVT 103, CVT 110, CVT 111. Corequisite: VAS 143. This course will provide a thorough understanding of the cerebrovascular anatomy, physiology, and pathology. The clinical assessment of patients for cerebrovascular disease will be discussed to include normal and abnormal anatomy. This course will discuss non-invasive and invasive tests for cerebrovascular procedures. Patient factors and patient histories will be described. The course will also provide a thorough understanding of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of extremity venous procedures. As well as, the clinical assessment of patients with acute and chronic venous disease will be discussed. A description of noninvasive tests used to evaluate extremity venous vascular examinations will be discussed. Topics include: extremity venous anatomy, laboratory results, test validation, noninvasive tests: duplex imaging and plethysmography, patient history, risk factors and contributing disease, extremity venous pathology, treatment of venous disease, cerebrovascular anatomy, invasive cerebrovascular tests, sonographic appearance of cerebral artery disease, non-invasive cerebrovascular exams, and physical examination. 11132007

8.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CVT 103, CVT 110, CVT 111. Provides the student opportunities to observe and participate in the diagnostic procedures performed in the noninvasive vascular laboratory and radiology departments that are clinical affiliates. Procedures are performed under the direct supervision of an appropriately credentialed technologist. Topics include: equipment utilization; patient history, identifying risk factors, and contributing disease; procedural skills and patient care; extremity venous vascular procedures, cerebrovascular testing, indirect testing, and proper ergonomic scanning. 11132007

3.00 Credits
The course will provide a thorough understanding of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of extremity arterial vascular procedures. The clinical assessment of patients with acute and chronic arterial disease will be discussed. A description of noninvasive tests used to evaluate extremity arterial vascular examinations. Topics include: anatomy, physical examination, noninvasive physiologic testing of extremity, patient history, arterial vascular procedures, contributing diseases, and risk factors. 11132007

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: AHS 104, CVT 111, DMS 133, DMS 136, DMS 202, VAS 144. Corequisite: VAS 245. This course includes a description and explanation of therapeutic intervention and other diagnostic tests that may be performed at locations other than a vascular lab to diagnosis venous, cerebral and arterial diseases. Topics include: therapeutic intervention, compression therapy, medical therapy, invasive diagnostic tests, surgical therapy, noninvasive diagnostic tests, and nonsurgical intervention.

2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: DMS 136, DMS 202. Provides a review of basic knowledge from previous courses and helps the student prepare for national certification examinations for sonography. Information concerning test taking skills will also be reviewed. Topics include physics, patient care, equipment/image manipulation, scanning procedures, bioeffects and safety. Emphasis will be placed on those items/issues/topics which are part of the certification examination. Topics include: propagation of ultrasound through tissues, principles of pulse echo imaging, quality assurance of ultrasound instruments, elementary principles, bioeffects and safety , ultrasound transducers and pulse echo instruments. 11142007
-
2.00 Credits
This course will provide the student with an overall review of Vascular Ultrasound Technology and prepare the student for the registry exam. Topics include: normal and abnormal vascular anatomy; pharmacology; pathophysiology; hemodynamics /physics; test validation and measurements; vascular diagnostic procedures; and laboratory values. 11142007

2.00 Credits
This course is designed as an introduction into the field of vascular sonography. The general practitioner will be required to perform venous examinations of the lower extremity, arterial studies of the neck, and some Doppler studies within the abdomen. For these areas much greater depth will be reached. The field of vascular sonography is much wider and encompassing than these three areas. The broader field of vascular sonography will be introduced but not studied at length or in depth. Emphasis is on the functional workings and settings associated with Doppler signals and waveforms. Topics include: machine/image settings for Doppler imaging; venous imaging of the lower extremities; arterial imaging of the neck; and vascular imaging of the abdomen, including aorta and its primary branches, vena cava, portal and hepatic veins, and renal arteries and veins. 11142007

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CVT 110, DMS 133, DMS 136, DMS 202, VAS 144. Lecture and laboratory course provides instruction in abdominal and visceral vascular anatomy and physiology. This includes the sonographic appearance, testing modalities, and test results in normal and abnormal body systems using duplex imaging. Topics include: patient history, laboratory results, duplex imaging, risk factors and contributing diseases, mechanisms of disease, anatomy, physical examination, and pathology. 11142007
