-
2.00 Credits
Students actively demonstrate and experiment with the effects of technical factors, patient positioning, and recognition of normal and pathological cardiac waveforms through laboratory expereince. Students perform ultrasounds of the adult cardiac system. Labs are supervised by a Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer.
-
2.00 Credits
Students continue to build on knowledge for cardiac anatomy and physiology with emphasis on cardiac pathology and the echocardiographic manifestation. Students gain knowledge with proper scanning protocols and additional technical studies utilized in echocardiography. The student identifies therapeutic interventions and non-invasive testing-exams along with protocols. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 1560 and IMAG 1561.
-
3.00 Credits
Students learn about the field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Students explore the duties and functions of the diagnostic medical sonographer as well as the historical background and context of the sonographer as a member of the health care team. Students examine the other imaging modalities as they relate to sonography. Prerequisite: Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.
-
2.00 Credits
Students are introduced to physics and instrumentation relevant to diagnostic medical sonography. Students explore the components of the ultrasound machine system, sound beam properties, sound propagation in tissue and ultrasound transducers. While applying key concepts, students develop a framework which will be built upon in IMAG 2240. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2205 and IMAG 2212.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to human anatomy as seen in various anatomical and regional areas in the body, to include transverse, sagittal, and coronal planes. Students explore the anatomy of the human head, thorax, spine, abdomen, pelvis and extremities. Students correlate cross-sectional images from various modalities and recognize normal anatomy, anatomic variants, and selected pathology. Prerequisite: Acceptance into the Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce the student to the anatomy, pathology, and physiology of the abdominal organs along with the proper scanning protocols of each organ. Specifically the student learns and recognizes normal echo-texture of anatomy and pathology as it relates to the following organs: pancreas, liver, biliary system, gallbladder, kidneys, and abdominal vasculature. The student explores the importance of sonographic image quality as it relates to the anatomy and pathology. This course is only offered in the fall semester. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2205 and IMAG 2212.
-
2.00 Credits
A course to be taken concurrently with IMAG 2215. Through laboratory experience, students actively demonstrate and experiment with the effects of technical factors, patient positioning, and recognition of normal echo-texture of anatomy and pathology of the abdominal organs. Students perform ultrasounds of the human abdomen including: liver, gallbladder, biliary system, pancreas, abdominal aorta and kidneys. This course is only offered in the fall. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2205 and IMAG 2212, and concurrent enrollment in IMAG 2215.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce the student to anatomy, pathology, and physiology of the non-gravid female pelvic organs and first trimester pregnancy along with the proper scanning protocols of each pelvic organ and a first trimester pregnancy. Specifically the student learns and recognizes normal echo-texture of anatomy and pathology as it relates to the following organs: uterus, ovaries, pelvic muscles, bladder, and development of a first trimester pregnancy. The students explores the importance of sonographic image quality as it relates to the anatomy, pathology, and developing first trimester fetus. This course is offered in the fall semester. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2205 and IMAG 2212.
-
1.00 Credits
A course to be taken concurrently with IMAG 2220. Through laboratory experience, students actively demonstrate and experiment with the effects of technical factors, patient positioning, and recognition of normal echo-texture of anatomy and physiology of the female pelvic organs and first trimester pregnancy. Students perform ultrasounds of the non-gravid female pelvic organs including: uterus, ovaries, pelvic muscles, and bladder. Students perform ultrasounds of the first trimester pregnancy including the uterus, ovaries, and developing fetus. This course is offered in the fall semester. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2205 and IMAG 2212, and concurrent enrollment in IMAG 2220.
-
2.00 Credits
Students build on skills learned in IMAG 2210. Students demonstrate competency in general Doppler, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler principles, quality assurance and quality control principles, and sonographic safety as they relate to bioeffects. Students explore image production and display, storage of the ultrasound image, and sonographic artifacts. Students investigate new frontiers in ultrasound principles, and demonstrate competency in transducer selection, usage, setting scanning parameters, and interactive properties of ultrasound. Students apply knowledge learned in this course and review content from Ultrasound Physics I throughout this course in order to prepare for national board certification. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2210.
