2.00 Credits
This course initially examines the nature and physical properties of sound waves. Emphasis is placed on the attenuation and transmission behaviors of an ultrasound beam as it encounters human tissue of a differing impedance. The instruments used to generate and receive ultrasound for medical imaging purposes are studied with respect to their operating characteristics. Offered: Fall/Spring (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
4.50 Credits
This course introduces students to general sonography beginning with the techniques and protocols of abdominal imaging. Anatomical variations and pathological conditions are studied with respect to their sonographic appearance. Emphasis is also placed on the acquisition of pertinent clinical history and the evaluation of laboratory and related imaging reports. Offered: Fall/Spring (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
5.00 Credits
This practicum course involves 2-3 days per week of clinical experience in affiliate hospitals, clinics, and/or imaging centers. Assignments are made to enable students to begin achieving competency in performing general sonography procedures. Course includes clinical seminars. Offered: Fall/Spring (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers imaging of both the non-gravid and gravid female. In gynecologic sonography, the normal and pathological appearance of the ovaries, uterus, and fallopian tubes are emphasized. Obstetrical imaging focuses on the pregnant uterus and normal vs. abnormal fetal growth and development in the first, second, and third trimesters. Sonographic identification of major congenital abnormalities is also stressed. Offered: Fall/Summer (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the sonographic evaluation of selected abdominal and superficial structures. Scanning protocols and normal vs. abnormal sonographic findings associated with each procedure are studied. Offered: Summer/Spring (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
6.00 Credits
This practicum course involves three to four days per week of clinical experience in affiliate hospitals, clinics, and/or imaging centers. Assignments are made to enable students to gain further competency in performing sonography procedures and analyzing the technical quality of the examination. Course includes clinical seminars. Offered: Spring/Fall (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides students with an opportunity for further study in the recognition of pathological conditions as demonstrated sonographically. Case studies will be presented and reviewed in the examination categories covered to date. Disease-specific imaging protocols will be discussed, in addition to analysis of the technical quality of the examination. Offered: Spring/Fall (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
5.00 Credits
This summer practicum course involves four days per week of clinical experience in affiliate hospitals, clinics, and/or imaging centers. This extensive clinical rotation provides students with the opportunity to further refine their skills in performing sonography procedures and analyzing the technical quality of the examination. Offered: Summer Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the use of ultrasound in assessing vascular anatomy and physiology. Following a unit on the dynamics of circulation, students will study basic imaging and non-imaging methods used to examine selected peripheral, abdominal, and cerebrovascular structures. Offered: Fall/Spring (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program or consent of instructor. Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
-
2.00 Credits
As a continuation of DMS 250, this course begins by examining the physical principles of Doppler and color flow ultrasound and the types of equipment used to image and measure vascular flow. Continuous wave, pulsed wave, color flow, and power Doppler techniques are addressed with emphasis on the differences in their ability to quantify or qualify information. Students will evaluate spectral traces as well as both grayscale and color images as they study the data acquisition methods and learn to differentiate between normal and abnormal display patterns. Students will identify image artifacts and study methods for their use or elimination. Relationships between ultrasound intensity and time are also addressed as they relate to potential bioeffects and safety. Quality assurance standards and procedures are emphasized as image and spectral display characteristics of all types of equipment are evaluated. Offered: Fall/Spring (alternating) Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program Applicable toward graduation at CSC where program structure permits: Degree or Certificate -AAS, AGE, All Certificates General Education - Not Applicable
