1.00 Credits
This course is a comprehensive course pertaining to different procedures that exist in the Radiology Department. It is an introduction to different modalities and how they interrelate to one another. Special tests will be introduced in each modality with strong emphasis on correlation with ultrasound exams. The course will be divided into certain organ systems and the modalities that are useful in determining certain abnormalities. Students will be shown how different modalities utilize patient testing and the importance of the modality. Topics are chosen according to certain ultrasound procedures. Lecture [1.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: DMS-102, DMS- 113, DMS-218. Corequisite[s]: DMS-201, DMS-205, DMS-213, DMS-218.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to familiarize students with the pathophysiology of the female reproductive system, gynecological anomalies and normal and abnormal first trimester pregnancy. Pelvic scanning protocol will also be discussed and sonographic interpretation will be utilized. Recognizing the normal and abnormal sonographic patterns in gynecology and first trimester pregnancy will be covered. Pathological and/or physiological data for the interpretation by physicians is stressed. The sonographic criteria for evaluation of the gravid uterus and fetus will be demonstrated. Lecture [2.00], Laboratory [3.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: BIO-109, DMS-102, DMS-113, DMS-115. Corequisite[s]: DMS-201, DMS-204, DMS-213, DMS-218.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuance of Abdominal Sonography I in studying abdominal structures where an emphasis is placed on specialty organ examinations. Knowledge of the diagnosis, history, and physical findings as they pertain to the pathophysiology of abdominal and small organs are presented. Normal and abnormal tissue patterns are included within this course. Students will practice and master a full abdominal procedure in the lab to prepare them for Ultrasound Clinic II-Abdomen rotation. Lecture [2.00], Laboratory [3.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: BIO-109, DMS-102, DMS-113, DMS-115. Corequisite[s]: DMS-201, DMS-204, DMS-205, DMS-218.
