2.00 Credits
This course is designed as an introduction into the field of vascular sonography. The general practitioner will be required to perform venous examinations of the lower extremity, arterial studies of the neck, and some Doppler studies within the abdomen. For these areas much greater depth will be reached. The field of vascular sonography is much wider and encompassing than these three areas. The broader field of vascular sonography will be introduced but not studied at length or in depth. Emphasis is on the functional workings and settings associated with Doppler signals and waveforms. Topics include machine/image settings for Doppler imaging; venous imaging of the lower extremities; arterial imaging of the neck; and vascular imaging of the abdomen, including aorta and its primary branches, vena cava, portal and hepatic veins, and renal arteries and veins. Prerequisites: DMS 133, DMS 202, DMS 203 Corequisites: DMS 205, DMS 206, DMS 209, DMS 207

8.00 Credits
Provides students with continued hospital/clinic setting work experience. Students improve skills in performing procedures introduced during previous didactic and clinical classes. Emphasis is placed on identification of normal and pathologic conditions learned during High Resolution Imaging and Interventional Sonography as well as refining the scanning ability of students in procedures presented in Pelvic Sonography and Pathology, Abdominal Sonography & Pathology, Fetal and Neonatal Anomalies, and Normal Obstetrical Sonography. Topics include equipment manipulation for optimum image resolution; scanning procedures for superficial sonography; normal anatomy and pathologic conditions of the superficial structures including differentiation of cystic and solid breast masses, sonographic classification of thyroid masses, scrotal hernias, testicular torsion, testicular tumors, epididymal cysts, anterior abdominal wall, muscles, and extremities; sonohysterography; sterile technique; drainage and fluid recovery procedures including thoracentesis, paracentesis, and amniocentesis; free hand and attachment guided biopsy: breast biopsy and prostate biopsy; patient care issues: patient preparation, fundamentals of patient history taking, confidentiality, pertinent clinical laboratory values, and communication. Sonographic examinations are conducted under direct and indirect supervision Prerequisite: DMS 204 Corequisites: DMS 205, DMS 206, DMS 208, DMS 207

2.00 Credits
Provides a review of basic knowledge from previous courses and helps the student prepare for national certification examinations for sonography. Information concerning test taking skills will also be reviewed. Topics include physics, patient care, equipment/image manipulation, scanning procedures, bioeffects and safety. Emphasis will be placed on those items/issues/topics which are part of the certification examination. Topics include propagation of ultrasound through tissues, principles of pulse echo imaging, quality assurance of ultrasound instruments, elementary principles, bioeffects and safety, ultrasound transducers and pulse echo instruments. Prerequisite: DMS 208 Corequisites: DMS 205, DMS 206, DMS 209, DMS 207

11.00 Credits
Provides continued hospital/clinic setting work experience for students to improve skills in performing procedures introduced during prior clinical and didactic classes. Emphasis is placed on refining scanning techniques, increasing speed, and developing a critical thinking approach to sonographic scanning. In addition, the identification of normal and pathologic conditions learned during Introduction to Vascular Sonography and performance of vascular duplex examinations are emphasized. Equipment utilization, venous structures of the leg, arterial vessels of the neck, and professional development through application of case studies reviews are covered. Sonographic examinations are conducted under direct and indirect supervision. Topics include manipulation of Doppler signals for venous scanning of the extremities and arterial scanning of the carotid vessels; normal anatomy and pathologic conditions of vascular structures, including deep vein thrombosis and carotid artery occlusion; equipment manipulation for optimum image resolution; and patient care issues: patient preparation, fundamentals of patient history taking, confidentiality, pertinent clinical laboratory values, and communication. Prerequisite: DMS 209 Corequisite: DMS 210
