3.00 Credits
Presents the basic physical principles of sound waves, their applications to the human body, the operation and physical characteristics of the ultrasound transducer, the method by which the sound wave is converted into a visual image, and equipment components and their functions. Some topics include reflection, refraction, scattering, amplitude, intensity, speed, attenuation, impedance, propagation, image artifacts, quality control, and the biological effects of ultrasound. Prerequisites: DMS* 104, DMS* 105, and DMS* 113, PHY* 111. Corequisites: DMS* 103 and DMS* 112.
-
4.00 Credits
Instructs DMS students in scan planes, anatomical positioning, scan protocols, scan preparations, scan scheduling, appropriate history recording, and correlations with other diagnostic procedures. Also presents the techniques required for initiating and completing diagnostic sonographic procedures for abdominal, obstetrical, and gynecological patients. Prerequisites: DMS* 104, DMS* 105, DMS* 111, and DMS* 113. Corequisites: DMS* 102 and DMS* 112.
-
3.00 Credits
This course prepares students for the clinical aspects of diagnostic medical sonography. Through classroom lectures and handouts, students will learn to function as entry-level employees in the clinical practicum and be able to advance in the profession. Prerequisites: BIO* 211, BIO* 212, and RST* 200. Corequisites: DMS* 105 and DMS* 111.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduces the clinical components of Diagnostic Medical Sonography with supervised clinical experience in an approved medical facility. Students observe basic scanning techniques, methods, and procedures. Provides experience with patient contact, history interviews, professional attitudes and ethics, and other basic patient/professional situations under the direct supervision of a Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (RDMS). Completion of clinical competency levels and a minimum of 224 clinical hours are required to complete this course. Prerequisites: BIO* 211, and BIO* 212. Corequisites: PHY* 111, DMS* 104, and DMS* 105.
-
1.00 Credits
Continues Clinical Practicum I and covers basic scanning techniques, methods, and procedures as supervised clinical experience in an approved medical facility. Students are introduced to basic sonographic positioning, planes, and terminology. Completion of clinical competency levels and a minimum of 224 clinical hours are required to complete this course. Prerequisites: DMS* 104, DMS* 105, and DMS* 111. Corequisites: DMS* 102 and DMS* 103.
-
1.00 Credits
Strengthens students' clinical skills with experience in a five-day workweek. Students practice their ultrasound and patient care skills in a hospital. Because the DMS program is competency-based, competencies will be assigned and completed at the clinical site. Prerequisites: DMS* 104, DMS* 105, and DMS* 111.
-
2.00 Credits
This clinical internship strengthens students' clinical skills with experience in a five-day work week over a longer period of time that the Clinical Internship I. Students will hone their ultrasound and patient care skills in a hospital. Because the DMS program is competency-based, competencies will be assigned and completed at the clinical site. Clinical Internship II runs from the Monday following spring final examinations through the day before the beginning of the new fall session. Prerequisites: DMS* 102, DMS* 103, and DMS* 112.
-
3.00 Credits
Presents the basic physical principles of Doppler and their use in diagnostic medical sonography. Topics include hemodynamics, Doppler effect, Doppler instrument components and their functions and limitations, spectral analysis, normal wave patterns, and pathological findings. Also includes liver vasculature, native and transplant kidneys, and mesenteric vessels. Introduces upper and lower extremities and cerebrovascular imaging. Also covered are principles of acoustical physics, how sound is produced and manipulated, how sound reacts in various mediums, and the acoustical impedance properties produced in various mediums and transducer characteristics dependent upon wave frequencies. Laboratory sessions reinforce lectures. Prerequisites: DMS* 102 and DMS* 126. Corequisites: DMS* 203 and DMS* 211.
