  • 4.00 Credits

    This course will include linear systems of equations, matrix operations, determinants, linear dependency, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Proofs by mathematical induction and contradiction will be incorporated. Emphasis will be placed onmathematical structure and axiomatic reasoning aided by the use of computer software. Pre/co-requisite: Grade of C or better in Calculus I (MAT281).
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course provides introductory exposure to the field of diagnostic medical sonography. The history and development of the modality as well as relevant medical terminology and vocabulary will be presented. Other topics discussed include caring for patients across cultural lines, the role of a sonographer in the medical field, and the prevention of repetitive strain injuries. Prerequisite: Admittance into the Cardiac or General Sonography programs.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course covers the concepts and history of ultrasound physics. The topics include wave propagation, piezoelectric effect, Doppler, transducer construction, static ultrasound principles, real time imaging principles, and color flow imaging. Other topics include quality control and liability issues in the ultrasound lab. Prerequisite: Admission to Cardiac Sonography Program.
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course covers introductory exposure to the fields of medical radiography and ultrasound. The course covers the history of development of the two modalities, as well as an introduction to radiation protection. The importance of communication between the radiographer and the patient in a diverse environment will be stressed. Other topics will include legal and ethical issues in radiography and medical terminology. This will be a hybrid course, with a webdelivered component. Prerequisite: Admission to the Medical Radiography Program.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This lab course covers organization and standards of the medical establishment: basic patient care procedures including vital signs, safety, immobility, body mechanics, and medical asepsis; CPR; and basic EKG, oxygen administration, and venipuncture skills. The importance of communication between the radiographer and the patient will be stressed. Simulated laboratory sessions offer students an opportunity to return demonstrated techniques. Corequisite: Introduction to Medical Radiography (MIG107) or Introduction to Ultrasound (MIG101).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course consists of a lecture component and hands on component. The student will have the opportunity to apply knowledge that they have gained via lecture directly to hands-on scanning applications. Topics addressed include proper machine set up, annotation of the equipment with reference to anatomy and basic images. Students will be exposed to the various scan planes and transducer orientations that are utilized in daily practice as a sonographer. In addition, exam protocols and pathology will be discussed. The student will have the opportunity to use the equipment in the classroom. Prerequisite: Ultrasound Instrumentation I (MIG105).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course covers topics in physics of special significance in radiography. Specific areas include Newton's Laws, and the concepts of mass force, energy, work, and power. It includes heat and its production and transfer. It emphasizes the physics of wave motion. The course covers some general concepts of modern physics including Einstein's energy equation, the Heisenberg Principle, and quantum concepts. A computer component introduces students to the principles and background of computers. Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Algebra (MAT095) or placement.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course covers a comprehensive study of adult echocardiography. It begins with an introduction to cardiac embryology, M-mode, two-dimensional and Doppler, and color Doppler technique. The course also covers transducer orientation and ultrasound appearance of the normal heart and abnormal echo findings in such conditions as valvular heart disease, prosthetic heart valves, pericardial disease, and cardiac tumors. Prerequisite: Introduction to Ultrasound (MIG101).
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course covers an integrated approach to the echocardiography technique. Students viewthe Mayo Clinic tapes and discuss the basic anatomy, transducer positions, and patient preparation that are necessary in the performance of these examinations. Students practice their skill in a hands-on setting and relate this experience to the didactic material presented in their echo classes and on the Mayo tapes. Students discuss pathologic processes to further enhance their understanding of the echo presentation of various valvular heart diseases. Prerequisite: Patient Care for Medical Imaging (MIG109).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This continuation course of the material presented in Echo I deals specifically with left ventricular function, cardiomyopathy, CAD, color Doppler, and imaging technique used to aid in the demonstration of these diseased states. This course also includes the technique of transesophageal, stress, and contrast echo technique. Prerequisite: Echo I (MIG112).
