3.00 Credits
To demonstrate the role of sonography in the evaluation of the cardiovascular system. The student will map the arterial and venous systems from the heart through the abdomen and throughout the periphery. Emphasis will be placed on abdominal vasculature, and cardiac anatomy and physiology, with an introduction to echocardiography protocol. The student will also become familiar with basic ECG interpretation, learning the relationship between ECG timing and cardiac events, as seen in the echocardiogram. 4 hours lecture, 4 hour lab.[F]

3.00 Credits
Increasing development of sonographic knowledge and skills in the clinical setting; performance of sonographic exams under clinical supervision; weekly case studies and imaging critiques; clinic hours: 540 in 205, 520 in 215, 420 in 225. 205 -Intro to the sonographic imaging process and the clinical setting; exam protocol; operation of ultrasound instrumentation. 215 -Normal anatomy; pathology and abnormal physiological processes. 225 -Focus on completion of all clinical objectives. [205-F, 215-S, 225-Su

3.00 Credits
Assessment of vascular hemodynamics for the cardiovascular sonography student through a topic-based analysis of various abdominal vascular structures, as well as an introduction to lower venous examinations and indirect pulse recognition of potential arterial disease of the lower extremities. 4 hours lecture, 4 hours lab. [F]
-
4.00 Credits
Specialty course for development of a breast imaging specialist, providing a comprehensive review of sonography's targeted role in the diag nosis and treatment of breast disease, while comparing mammography and other imaging techniques, to apply to an appropriate understanding of scanning principles for optimal diagnostic results. Achievement of course competencies will assist in preparation of the breast sonography certification examination. Course participant must either be ARDMS or ARRT(M) certified. [S]

3.00 Credits
Progressive development of vascular sonographic skills. Case group studies and imaging critiques will be performed, and the student's performance will be evaluated through clinical competencies in each related category through sonographer and instructor evaluations. 208-An introduction to the vascular sonographic imaging process. The student will become familiar with the clinical setting, the operation ultrasound instrumentation, exam indications, and the required protocol for vascular sonography exams. 218-A continuation of Vascular Clinic I; The student will have the opportunity to develop increased knowledge and skills in per forming vascular examinations and demonstrating normal anatomy, physiology and pathology. Pathologic processes shall be further described to build on the student's present understanding of abnormal physiological processes. The student will be allowed to continue the practice and performance of vascular exams under clinical supervision. Weekly case studies and imaging critiques will continue with the clinical instructor. The student's performance shall be further assessed through continued sonographers and instructor evaluations and higher-level clinical competencies. 228-A continuation of Vascular Clinic II; the student will have the opportunity to further increase vascular imaging/testing knowledge and skills. The student will continue performance of vascular exams under clinical supervision. Weekly case studies and imaging critiques will continue with the clinical instructor. Special emphasis will be given to final category evaluations and completion of all clinical objectives in specified vascular categories. Sonographer and instructor evaluations will be used for final assessment of student performance.
