8.00 Credits
This course provides students with continued work experience in a hospital or clinic setting. Students improve skills in performing procedures introduced during previous didactic and clinical courses. Instructors emphasize the identification of normal and pathologic conditions learned concurrently in didactic and laboratory hours in Interventional Sonography, Pediatric Sonography, Abnormal Obstetric Sonography, and Introduction to Vascular Sonography as well as refining the scanning ability of students in procedures previously presented in Pelvic Sonography and Pathology, Abdominal Sonography and Pathology, Normal Obstetric Sonography, and High Resolution Sonography. Topics include equipment manipulation for optimum image resolution sterile techniques drainage and fluid recovery procedures, including thoracentesis, paracentesis, and amniocentesis freehand and attachment guided biopsy, including breast biopsy and prostate biopsy pathology and abnormal conditions in obstetrics, including the gamut of pathology in the neonate, such as intracranial bleeds, masses, and duodenal atresia, organ malformations, maternal conditions effecting pregnancy ectopic pregnancies patient care issues: patient preparation, fundamentals of patient history taking, confidentiality, pertinent clinical laboratory values, and communication. Sonographic examinations are conducted under direct and indirect supervision. Prerequisite: DMS 2,0,2)

3.00 Credits
This course provides students with continued hospital/clinic setting work experience. Students refine scanning techniques, increase speed of exam completion, and develop critical thinking approach to sonographic scanning in performing procedures introduced during previous didactic and clinical courses. Instructors emphasize the identification of normal and pathologic conditions learned in didactic and laboratory hours in Introduction to Vascular Sonography and performance of vascular duplex examinations are emphasized. Equipment utilization, venous structures of the leg, arterial vessels of the neck, and professional development through application of case studies reviews are covered. Sonographic examinations are conducted under direct and indirect supervision. Topics include: manipulation of Doppler signals for venous scanning of the extremities and arterial scanning of the carotid vessels normal anatomy and pathologic conditions of vascular structures, including deep vein thrombosis and carotid artery occlusion equipment manipulation for optimum image resolution and patient care issues: patient preparation, fundamentals of patient history taking, confidentiality, pertinent clinical laboratory values, and communication. Prerequisite: DMS 209
