3.00 Credits
Explores the use of Doppler in B-mode scanning using real time equipment. Applies previously learned normal anatomy to concurrent education on Doppler Physics and Pathology. Iatrogenic, degenerative, inflammatory, traumatic, neoplastic, infectious, obstructive, congenital, metabolic, and immunological pathological processes will be presented with Doppler (Color and Spectral) applications. Presents equipment parameters, various types of specialized equipment, and hard copy documentation devices. Clinical objectives in DMS* 211 will reinforce lectures. Prerequisites: DMS* 102, DMS* 103, and DMS* 126. Corequisites: DMS* 201 and DMS* 211.

Explores the dramatic changes in fetal developmental from fertilization to birth. Discusses proper scanning techniques including the sonographic appearance of normal and abnormal fetal anatomy and protocol and proper instrument settings. The pathological conditions relating to obstetrics are discussed including clinical and sonographic findings. Analyzes the proper protocol, pathological conditions and patient care relating to obstetrical examinations, including clinical and sonographic findings.

1.00 Credits
Introduces advanced scanning techniques to demonstrate cross-sectional anatomy and pathology of specific and nonspecific disease and traumatic changes in a supervised clinical experience in an approved medical facility. Specific attention is given to fetal development, fetal anomalies, and abnormal prenatal and maternal conditions as they relate to Sonographic scanning and interpretation of images. Students work under the supervision of an RDMS professional. Students are expected to perform sonographic procedures independently as a regular part of this course. Completion of clinical competency levels and a minimum of 336 clinical hours are required to successfully complete this course. Prerequisite: DMS* 126. Corequisites: DMS* 201 and DMS* 203.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces advanced scanning procedures, methods, and experience in a supervised clinical experiencce in an approved medical facility. Students experience advanced scanning modalities via M-mode, Doppler, Real-time, and invasive procedures. Provides comparative interpretations of sonographic imaging with other diagnostic imaging modalities. Combines scanning experience with radiologist-supervised image interpretation sessions. Students are expected to initiate, perform, and complete all sonographic procedures without the direct supervision of an RDMS. Successful course completion requires achievement of competency levels and a minimum of 336 clinical hours. Prerequisites: DMS* 201, DMS* 203, and DMS* 211. Corequisites: DMS* 204, DMS* 205, and DMS* 206.
-
