3.00 Credits
3 credits Instrumentation, operation, and architecture of diagnostic ultrasound systems with their transducers and accessories are studied with an effort towards establishing an overall program of quality assurance and biosafety. The interaction of the diagnostic ultrasound beam with normal and abnormal tissues is the hallmark of identifying disease states with ultrasound imaging. Through lectures, demonstrations, and phantom models, the recognition of artifacts specific to diagnostic ultrasound will be investigated to sort out the pathological from the normal and the artifactual. Further study of Gray Scale, Pulsed Doppler, and Colorflow ultrasound will be discussed in their relevance to various clinical disease states. Co/prerequisite: Admission to DMS program.

3.00 Credits
3 credits Lectures, projects, online searches, discussions, and practical demonstrations with campus ultrasound equipment serve to identify all normal abdominal anatomy and physiology through advanced instrumentation techniques, patient positioning, and cross-sectional anatomy. Complimentary imaging modalities, laboratory results, and the role of diagnostic ultrasound, in its dependence on pertinent clinical history, will be studied relative to advanced disease states. Special structures such as breast, thyroid, parathyroid, testes, and superficial masses will be investigated in further detail to include biopsy and aspiration techniques as well as the use of Pulsed Doppler and Color Doppler evaluation. Co/prerequisite: DMS 206, DMS208, DMS209/ DMS201

3.00 Credits
3 credits Course content includes detailed study of the anatomy and physiology of the uterus, ovaries, vasculature, and adnexa visible by ultrasound imaging as well as pathologic states encountered during transabdominal, transvaginal, and translabial ultrasound evaluation of the female pelvis. Emergency applications of diagnostic ultrasound in the acute female pelvis are studied to include the role of ultrasound in the evaluation of ectopic pregnancy and First Trimester issues. Co-requisite: DMS202

8.00 Credits
8 credits Clinical assignment hours at the affiliation sites are increased to gain additional "hands-on" scanning experience as documented by The Scan?. Accountability for a complete pre-scan patient "information package" is encouraged and supervised by registered sonographers on-site. This course increases dexterity of scanning through eye/hand coordination techniques and gradually increases "probe time" so the student begins to approximate complete studies in the abdominal and ob/gyn specialties. Pre-requisite: DMS203

3.00 Credits
3 credits Practical demonstrations, reading, projects, discussions, and lectures are combined to solidify Pulsed Wave Doppler techniques in the evaluation of the Carotid Arteries. The Carotid Doppler model is broadened to apply to other areas of arterial vasculature, which can be similarly evaluated. The anatomy and physiology of the systemic venous system is studied with particular attention to the lower and upper extremity venous vasculature. Venous Duplex techniques commonly requested in the ultrasound department are also presented. Co/pre-requisite: Admission to DMS program.

7.00 Credits
7 credits This clinical site module, under the direct supervision of registered sonographers or physicians, moves the student further along a clinical competence continuum in 2 ways: 1) it expands the variety of ?hands-on? diagnostic ultrasound examinations performed at the clinical site, 2) it moves the student closer to complete clinical studies. The competency-based training is accurately assessed and documented via the SCAN.Co/prerequisite: DMS209
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Students are taught through case studies, lecture, and critique the art of differential diagnosis with regard to the diagnostic ultrasound examination results. A comprehensive approach to compiling a pertinent medical history, laboratory and test results, and results from other imaging modalities is presented in an investigative clinical fashion. Presented in advance teaching in cross-sectional anatomy and interpretation of pathology or sonographic exams as it relates to the abdomen, small parts, OB-Gyn, sonographic physics, and limited vascular systems. Course is intended to provide final preparation for ARDMS board registry examination. Co/ prerequisites: DMS216/ DMS206, 207,208,213
-
10.00 Credits
10 credits This capstone experience taught by registered sonographers at affiliate sites in a "hands-on" fashion allows the student to address any lagging clinical areas in terms of repertoire or competency level as identified by the SCAN documentation. The student is challenged with increasing clinical productivity (scan time) and accountability and viewed more as an "entry level" sonographer contributing to the overall team effort of the diagnostic ultrasound department. Co/prerequisites: DMS215/ DMS214

3.00 Credits
No Credit This course is designed to review basic writing skills and may be required based on placement test results. Special emphasis is placed on fragments, run-ons, verbs and other areas where students have the most difficulty. The purpose of Basic Writing is to help students to improve their writing skills to the level necessary for success not only in college writing courses but also in reports and other written assignments required in most classes. Course fee is minimal.

3.00 Credits
No Credit This course is designed to improve all aspects of reading that assist students during a college career. This is accomplished by teaching various specific strategies that improve reading skills using selections from actual college texts while giving practice in effective study skills related to reading. The purpose of this course is top prepare students for the reading demands of college courses. Course fee is minimal.
