3.00 Credits
Introduction to and study of the fundamental principles of diagnostic ultrasound physics and instrumentation. Study of acoustic physics and various diagnostic equipment along with artifacts and quality control. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH DMS program, consent of the instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Theory and physical principles associated with atomic structure, nuclear and quantum physics related to radioactive decay. Properties of the elements and the production of characteristic x and gamma rays, anger electrons, and Bremstahlung. Instruction on the modes of decay, radiation Dosimetry, and interaction of ionizing radiation with matter. Basic physics, instrumentation, and radiochemistry of Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-NMT program.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of normal abdominal anatomy and sonographic appearances. Review of physiologic function and correlation of laboratory data. Integration of radiology reports, patient history, and procedures to effectively perform a diagnostic exam of an organ. Sonographic methods to visualize pediatric and adult abdomen are discussed. Lab sessions with practicals in scanning techniques are an integral part of the course. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH DMS program, consent of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Supervised clinical education that gives the student the opportunity to perform a variety of patient procedures on both Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and PET imaging systems for all diagnostic, therapeutic, non-imaging, in-vivo and in-vitro procedures. Clinical competencies developed in patient care, positioning techniques, analyzing images, and the selection of imaging parameters and collimators. Knowledge of integrated computer systems designed for use with clinical gamma cameras, SPECT, and PET images. The clinical practicum is designed to promote independent critical thinking, balanced responsibility, organization, and accountability in the student. Students will demonstrate competence in all procedures presented. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-NMT program.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of obstetrical and gynecological anatomy with clinical applications and sonographic methods used to visualize pelvic organs, pregnant uterus and related structures. Discussion of embryogenesis and a review of the reproductive cycle is included. Normal sonographic patterns are studied. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH DMS program, consent of the instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Emphasis on theory and techniques of clinical procedures used in nuclear medicine imaging. Areas emphasized include patient care, developing acquisition parameters, imaging techniques, radionuclide identification, energies, half-lives, and principles of radionuclides in imaging and non-imaging procedures. Students will continue to develop an increased degree of competence in their performance of the skills related to critical thinking and problem solving. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-NMT program.
-
2.00 Credits
A continuation of hospital/clinic sonographic experience. Practicum in all the clinical applications in the specialties of abdominal organs and obstetrics-gynecology. Pass-fail grading. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH DMS program, consent of the instructor

-
2.00 Credits
Knowledge of the operations and maintenance of computer hardware and software. Emphasis on data collection, analysis, and processing used in clinical imaging. Application of computer devices and memory usage. Emphasis on SPECT and PET quality control procedures. Prerequisite: Admission to the NMH BS-NMT program.
-
3.00 Credits
The role of proteins and their molecular precursors, the nucleic acids, is the focus of this course in Biochemistry. As such, students will advance basic understanding of transcription and translation achieved from Genetics (02-220) using clinically relevant models. Drawing from this knowledge base, students will apply their understanding of protein structure/function in an in depth analysis of enzyme biochemistry as well as cell signaling mechanisms. Terminology is utilized from both Organic Chemistry and the Biological sciences. Prerequisite: 02-220 and 02-221. This course does NOT fulfill the requirement for Chemistry/Biochemistry majors.
