  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will introduce the student to various fetal anomalies that can occur across the gestational period. Emphasis will be placed on identification of the pathological processes, sonographic appearances, correlation with the clinical history and diagnostic testing or procedures, and clinical management options. An introduction to normal and abnormal anatomy, scanning technique, and sonographic appearances of the neonatal brain will be provided.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will focus on the role of sonographic imaging in high risk obstetrics. Topics will include, but are not limited to: maternal diseases and potential fetal consequences; multiple gestation; management of high risk pregnancies; assessment of fetal well being; role of Doppler; interventional procedures; and advanced technologies currently used in obstetrics.
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course will provide continued hospital/clinic setting work experience. Students will apply knowledge learned concurrently during Obstetrical Sonography II and Fetal and Neonatal Anomalies. The student will continue to gain experience in obstetrics focusing on unusual and abnormal case studies. Topics will include obstetrical sonograms of multiple gestation, fetal and neonatal anomalies, and Doppler techniques. The student will refine scanning skills and gain experience in visualizing the fetal heart and obtaining appropriate views. The students will also become exposed to interventional procedures utilizing ultrasound guidance. Execution of sonographic examinations will be performed under direct and indirect supervision. The student will strive for continued improvement in previously learned studies. With additional work setting experience, the student's comfort level will improve in equipment manipulation and patient interaction.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will introduce the student to vascular sonography. It will include the hemodynamics, pathology and pathophysiology of the vascular system. The student will be introduced to normal and abnormal vasculature and the differentiation between the venous and arterial systems. Discussion will include the clinical signs and symptoms and the appropriate diagnostic testing and treatment of various vascular diseases. Emphasis will be placed on the functional workings and settings associated with vascular procedures.
  • 1.00 Credits

    This course will focus on ultrasound-guided special procedures. Emphasis will be placed on how and why ultrasound is utilized as guidance during invasive procedures. The student will learn techniques in maintaining sterility during the procedure, as well as issues regarding the patient consent. Topics will include proper equipment and room set-up and clean-up techniques and laboratory requirements. Sonography in the operating room will also be addressed. Lecture and hands-on demonstrations will coincide appropriately to facilitate a simultaneous understanding of didactic and laboratory application.
  • 1.00 Credits

    This course prepares the student to transition from student to employee. A variety of topics will be researched and discussed to provide current insight into the future of the profession, resume and interview skills, certification versus accreditation, career opportunities, healthcare issues, and mechanisms for life-long learning.
  • 1.00 Credits

    This course will include readings and reviews of widely known sonography publications and journals. The student will become familiar with the important use of literature review and research in the healthcare environment and the populations they serve. Sonographic case studies will be discussed and presented.
  • 3.00 Credits

    As the role of ultrasound technology continues to expand in arenas beyond the diagnostic role, it is important for sonographers to be cognizant of the medical value of the expanded non-traditional roles for patient outcomes. This seminar course will explore the role of sonography in interventional procedures, limited applications and developing specializations nationally and globally by various healthcare providers. Through research and analysis, various entities for use of ultrasound technology will be explored, as well as roles and scope of practice for the practitioner, and controversial issues. This course incorporates an introduction to information literacy and research methodologies.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course will provide continued hospital/clinic setting work experience. Students will apply knowledge learned in prior courses including Introduction to Vascular Sonography, Interventional Sonography and Journal and Case study Review courses. The student will become familiar with vascular procedures performed in an ultrasound/vascular laboratory. Execution of sonographic examinations will be performed under direct and indirect supervision. The student will gain experience in sonography assisted special procedures, as well as operating room techniques.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will serve as an intense comprehensive review of knowledge learned from previous sonographic courses to prepare the graduate to sit for national sonographic examinations. Emphasis will be placed on sonographic physics and instrumentation, vascular hemodynamics, and normal anatomy versus pathological findings related to the abdomen, superficial structures, gynecology and obstetrics. Test taking strategies for success will be discussed.
