2.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Abdominal Sonography I. Students perform ultrasounds of the abdominal organs including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, urinary bladder, spleen, and the retroperitoneum. Emphasis is placed on performing the entire abdominal ultrasound in sequence and recognizing the anatomy and pathology of the abdominal organs. Students also investigate superficial structure imaging and integrate clinical and diagnostic procedures such as thyroid, breast, male reproductive system, and superficial structures common and specific to each organ. This course if only offered spring semester. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2215.
-
1.00 Credits
A course to be taken concurrently with IMAG 2245. 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 superficial structures and focus on performing a complete abdominal ultrasound. Students perform ultrasounds of the abdominal organs including the liver, pancreas, biliary system, gallbladder, kidneys, spleen and abdominal vasculature. Students perform ultrasounds on the superficial structures including: thyroid, breast, and explore interventional procedures. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2215 and IMAG 2216, and concurrent enrollment in IMAG 2245.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of IMAG 2220. This course is designed to introduce the student to the anatomy, pathology, and physiology of the developing second and third trimester pregnancy and post pregnancy female pelvis. Students are introduced to the proper scanning protocols of a second and third trimester pregnancy, post pregnancy female pelvis, and interventional procedures. Specifically, the student learns and recognizes normal echo-texture of anatomy and pathology as it relates to the developing fetus. The student explores the importance of sonographic image quality as it relates to the anatomy, pathology, and developing second and third trimester fetus. This course is only offered in the spring semester. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2220 and IMAG 2221.
-
1.00 Credits
A course to be taken concurrently with IMAG 2250. 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 second and third trimester pregnancy and post pregnancy female pelvis. Students perform ultrasounds of the second and third trimester pregnancy and post pregnancy female pelvis. This course is offered in the spring. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2220 and IMAG 2221, and concurrent enrollment in IMAG 2250.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce the student to the anatomy, pathology, and physiology along with the proper scanning protocols of arteries and veins. Specifically the student learns and recognizes normal pathological arterial blood flow in the peripheral vascular system and carotid arteries, and recognizes normal and pathological ankle-brachial indices. Students learn and recognize normal and pathological venous blood flow in the peripheral vascular system. The student explores the importance of sonographic image quality as it relates to the anatomy and pathology and learn to compare and contrast the results with other diagnostic procedures. This course is offered in the spring semester. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2210.
-
1.00 Credits
A course to be taken concurrently with IMAG 2252. Through laboratory experience, students actively demonstrate and experiment with the effects of technical factors, patient positioning, and recognition of normal and pathological of arterial and venous waveforms. Students perform ultrasounds of the carotid arteries, ankle-brachial indices, and peripheral vascular systems. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2210 and concurrent enrollment in IMAG 2252.
-
6.00 Credits
This course provides clinical experience in a sonography department at a foundational level. Under supervision in the clinical setting, students demonstrate competency in clinical and patient skills as well as correlation of pathological processes and normal variants to ultrasound imaging. Utilizing correct sonography equipment settings and operations, students observe and perform ultrasound examinations of the abdomen, non-gravid and gravid female pelvis, and small parts. Students complete a minimum of 270 hours of clinical experience for this course. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2246, IMAG 2251 and IMAG 2253.
-
11.00 Credits
This is a supervised clinical experience in an ultrasound imaging department. Students perform and correlate theory to practice on examinations of the abdomen, gravid and nongravid pelvis, and small parts. Students demonstrate the requested anatomic structures by correctly manipulating the equipment and proper transducer usage. Students identify pathological processes of disease and normal anatomic variants. Participation in this course will take place at a hospital or clinic. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2254.
-
13.00 Credits
Students participate in the clinical experience building on skills acquired during previous clinical experience. With minimal supervision, students demonstrate competency in clinical and patient skills as well as correlation of pathological processes and normal variants to ultrasound imaging. Utilizing correct sonography equipment settings and operations, students perform and complete ultrasound competencies of the abdomen, non-gravid and gravid female pelvis, and small parts. Students will complete a minimum of 600 hours of clinical experience for this course. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2255.
-
1.00 Credits
Students prepare for successful completion of the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography national certifying examination by completing a comprehensive review of all prior courses in the sonography curriculum. Students develop and refine the analytical and test-taking skills necessary for passing the national certifying examination in Sonography. Students participate in group activities, mock examinations, and discussion to synthesize knowledge, attitudes, and skills professional sonography practice. (Students are required to complete a minimum of two computerized Mock Registry Sessions as part of the course. Time to be arranged with instructor.) Prerequisite: Successful completion of program courses or instructor approval.
