-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) AHP 1013 Medical Terminology and BIO 1314 Anatomy and Physiology I 3 CREDITS Students will be introduced to the field of sonography, including the history of medical ultrasound, professional and occupational development, and the current uses of ultrasound. Students will identify normal sonographic anatomy in cross section views of the human body, as well as develop an understanding for mechanics, scanning techniques, and protocols.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation I 3 CREDITS Students will be familiar with the theoretical aspects of ultrasonic physics and instrumentation and demonstrate the practical application of these principles. Students will focus on the characteristics and properties of ultrasound energy, generation, transmission, and reception as related to ultrasound imaging. Students will investigate physical principles and will be able to understand the production of quality ultrasound images and apply this information to real-time scanning.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) BIO 1314 Anatomy and Physiology I 4 CREDITS The student will demonstrate an understanding of transabdominal ultrasounds of the abdomen, and will identify the characteristics of normal anatomy, pathology, and exam protocols, related lab values, and imaging processes. The student will identify major organ systems and will recognize the membranes associated with the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, as well as explain pathophysiology associated with the abdomen and describe normal and abnormal vascular Doppler patterns of the vascular structures.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) BIO 1314 Anatomy and Physiology I 4 CREDITS The student will demonstrate an understanding of transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasounds of the pregnant and non-pregnant female pelvis. Students will identify the appearance and characteristics of normal gynecological anatomy, pathology, pathophysiology, exam protocols, related lab values, and imaging processes. The student will describe the structure of the uterus and identify the normal measurements of the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and endometrium.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) DMS 1233 Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation I 2 CREDITS Students will identify the areas of ultrasound propagation principles, transducer parameters, interactive properties of ultrasound with human tissue, possible biological effects, types of equipment, and quality control.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) Prerequisite: DMS 1213 Introduction to Ultrasound, Corequisite: DMS 1254 Abdominal Ultrasound 6 CREDITS The student will perform basic scanning techniques in abdominal sonography. This course is a practical application in a clinical setting and the student will be observed in all clinical duties performed in the Ultrasound department. Twenty-four (24) hours a week in an ultrasound department is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) DMS 1356 Clinical Ultrasound I 6 CREDITS The student will observe and perform scans in the following specialty areas: abdomen, small parts, and OB/GYN. This course is a continuation of clinical application and the student will spend on average, twenty-four (24) hours per week in an ultrasound department observing and scanning.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) BIO 1314 Anatomy and Physiology I 1 CREDIT The student will identify normal anatomy of small parts such as the thyroid, parathyroid, breast, prostate, and scrotum. The student will describe the function and physiology of the small parts, examine pathology, pathophysiology, and recognize tests and values associated with abnormalities and pathologies of these organs. Students will demonstrate a thyroid exam in a laboratory and perform Doppler during thyroid, parathyroid, breast, prostate, and scrotum ultrasound exams.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) DMS 2216 Clinical Ultrasound II 6 CREDITS The student will demonstrate competency in the practical clinical application of ultrasound techniques in abdominal, OB/GYN, small parts, and a special emphasis will be placed in general vascular Sonography. Twenty-four hours per week in a hospital ultrasound department is required.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) DMS 1292 Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation II 1 CREDIT The student will demonstrate an understanding of the biological effect processes, related to thermal, mechanical, and cavitational bioeffect principles, as well as identify regulations, recommendations, and safety guidelines. The student will be familiar with the methods to reduce patients' risk for bioeffects, using the various techniques of measuring bioeffects.
