1.00 Credits
1 Credit Students shall review their knowledge base of gross anatomy, scan planes, patient positions and the proper terminology as related to sonographic imaging. This course is designed to prepare students for the proper utilization of small parts, obstetrical, gynecology and vascular sonographic protocols during clinical practicum courses. Quality images and techniques shall be discussed. Students shall be guided in how to adapt protocols to anatomical variations or in the demonstration of pathology. In addition, patient preparation, the application of appropriate measurements and equipment utilization will be discussed. Prerequisite: SON-1100 Corequisites: SON-2814, SON-1313 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits Designed to expand upon the basic physics and instrumentation concepts that were presented in Basic Sonography. Discussion will include how each component is interrelated and how all components contribute to the production of a sonographic image. Basic sonographic physics will be introduced. Introduction to computers hardware and software. An introductory computer literacy course for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography student with emphasis on current technology and the implications for and the effects on our society. Topics will include cyberspace communications, including the impact of the Internet and World Wide Web; ethical, privacy, environmental, and health related issues. Software applications will include a brief introduction to Windows, word processing, spreadsheets, and graphics. Prerequisites: SON-1000 and SON-1804C Corequisite: SON-1840 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.

1.00 Credits
1 Credit Provides an introduction to sonographic representation of the abdominal/ pelvic areas and developing fetus. Topics include scanning planes, patient positions and terminology. Prerequisites: SON-1000, SON-1804C and admission to Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program. Corequisite: SON-1840 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.
-
1.00 Credits
1 Credit Designed to introduce the student to the sonographic representation of the female pelvis and the developing fetus. Students shall review their knowledge base of gross anatomy and embryological development. Students will then be introduced to scan planes, patient positions and the proper terminology associated with these concepts. Anatomical and sonographic relationships female pelvis and the developing fetus will be discussed extensively. From this basis, the course is then designed to assist the student in visualizing gross anatomy as it is represented sonographically. Prerequisite: SON-1311 Corequisite: SON-1850 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.

1.00 Credits
1 Credit Students shall review their knowledge base of these structures. Students will then be introduced to scan planes, patient positions and the proper terminology associated with these concepts. This course is designed to introduce the student to the sonographic representation when imaging small parts, neonatal brains and vascular structures. Anatomical and sonographic relationships of these structures, vessels and organs will be discussed extensively. From this basis, the course is then designed to assist the student in visualizing gross anatomy as it is represented sonographically. Prerequisites: SON-1312, SON-1850 Corequisites: SON-2814, SON-1101 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.
-
2.00 Credits
2 Credits Introduction to the patient/sonographic role in a simulated environment. Designed to ease the student into the hospital situation by becoming familiar with the role and responsibilities of a sonographer and the basic fundamentals of a career such as darkroom chemistry, medical terminology and machine operations. Students will spend a minimum of 50 minutes per week in lecture and eight clock hours in simulated hospital/ clinical experience each week in the on-campus laboratory. Prerequisite: BSC-1085 and admission to Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program Corequisite: SON-1000 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.
-
1.00 Credits
1 Credit Continues to explore the role of the sonographer in a simulated as well as an actual clinical environment. This course is designed to expose the student to the role and responsibilities of a clinical sonographer in the hospital situation by allowing observation of the sonographer in daily hospital routine. The student will begin the initial phase of instruction in scanning protocols. The student will spend eight clock hours a week in the clinical and/or laboratory setting. Prerequisites: SON-1804C and SON-1000 Corequisite: RTE-1782 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.
-
1.00 Credits

-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits Provides a comprehensive review of all aspects of the sonography program to include abdominal, obstetrics, gynecology, physics and instrumentation, and miscellaneous small parts. Topics include quality assurance in sonography labs, bioeffects related to sonography, sonographic artifacts, an introduction to Doppler, an introduction to neurosonography, pediatric sonography and resume preparation and job hunting. Prerequisites: SON-2122, SON-2211, SON-2112 and admission to Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program Corequisite: SON-2834 Credit for this course does NOT apply to the Associate in Arts degree.
-
