1.00 Credits
This course is designed as an introduction into the field of vascular sonography. The general practitioner will be required to perform venous examinations of the lower extremity, arterial studies of the neck, and some Doppler studies within the abdomen. For these areas much greater depth will be reached. The field of vascular sonography is much wider and encompassing than these three areas. The broader field of vascular sonography will be introduced but not studied at length or in depth. Emphasis is on the functional workings and settings associated with Doppler signals and waveforms. Topics include: machine/image settings for Doppler imaging; venous imaging of the lower extremities; arterial imaging of the neck; and vascular imaging of the abdomen, including aorta and its primary branches, vena cava, portal and hepatic veins, and renal arteries and veins.

3.00 Credits
Lecture and laboratory course provides instruction in abdominal and visceral vascular anatomy and physiology. This includes the sonographic appearance, testing modalities, and test results in normal and abnormal body systems using duplex imaging. Topics include: patient history, laboratory results, duplex imaging, risk factors and contributing diseases, mechanisms of disease, anatomy, physical examination, and pathology.

3.00 Credits
This course provides opportunities for the student to participate in and perform with assistance procedures performed in noninvasive vascular laboratories, radiology departments, imaging centers, and surgical departments. Continued participation by the student will progressively lead to the unassisted performance of diagnostic procedures under the supervision of an appropriately credentialed technologist. Emphasis is placed on medical therapy, surgical therapy, and other diagnostic tests performed in settings other than vascular laboratories. Topics include: equipment utilization; patient history; procedural skills and patient care; cerebrovascular procedures; therapeutic intervention; diagnostic tests for vascular diseases; carotid, arterial, venous, limited TCD, and limited abdominal duplex; and imaging and measuring abdominal organs and recognizing normal and abnormal echo patterns.

3.00 Credits
This course provides a culminating clinical setting experience which allows students to analyze information and procedural instruction provided throughout the program. In a variety of settings, students perform all noninvasive vascular procedures independently with the supervision of an appropriately credentialed technologist. They also participate in procedures such as abdominal and visceral, extremity venous, extremity arterial, and cerebrovascular. Emphasis is placed on skill level improvement and final completion of all required clinical competencies presented in previous courses and practiced in previous clinical vascular courses. Topics include: professional conduct; infection control techniques; patient history; imaging and measuring abdominal organs and recognizing normal and abnormal echo patter; scope of practice of a vascular technologist; transporting patients; duplex, indirect, and TCD machine utilization; equipment utilization; procedural skills and patient care; and vascular procedures.

3.00 Credits
Emphasizes the creation of web-ready graphics using image-editing software. Topics include: compression, file formats, rollover states, transparency, background files, image levels, global slicing and hot spots, and global color space.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides a study of web page design. Topics include: history of the Internet terminology, using web page applications, site planning, navigation, plug-ins, project planning, storyboarding, special effects and graphics, and relational database.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to animated sound and image files and their application to the Internet. Topics include: storyboarding, frames, timing, tweening, motion, file formats, exporting files, scripts, animating text, layering, and bandwidth.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides a further application of design and marketing skills. Topics include: navigation design, web site, interactive programs, incorporating animation to websites, incorporating sound with websites, advanced interface design, advanced special effects, and video streaming.
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisites: PGT 103 or MCM 205 or VCM 233, VCM 227) Provides an opportunity to prepare marketing strategies and materials, to revise and develop portfolio presentations, and to benefit from industry review before entering job market. Topics include: understanding portfolio variations, portfolio pacing, interviewing skills, self promotion, marketing, and self editing.
-
5.00 Credits
Introduces the function and operation of the primary tools of TV production (video, audio, and lighting) to develop the student's awareness and understanding of studio procedures. The course includes the concepts, terminology and equipment of multi-camera, live-on-tape production.
