-
2.00 Credits
Introduces, through supervised lab instruction and patient film critique, the processes that go into obtaining and interpreting sonographic images. Focuses on sonographic terminology, image quality factors, scanning protocols and techniques, and the normal/ pathological sonographic appearances of abdominal, and gynecology structures. Discusses abnormal sonographic images and correlation of clinical data to develop diagnostic criteria. Corequisite: DMS 204, DMS 205 and DMS 207.
-
6.00 Credits
Provides the student a hospital based clinical experience under the supervision of faculty, sonography staff and a clinical instructor. Emphasis is placed on how to take complete patient histories. Sonography of the abdomen and female pelvis are the major areas of focus. Provides the student with exposure to a wide variety of general and vascular studies which will be covered in later coursework. Corequisite: DMS 204, DMS 205 and DMS 206.
-
4.00 Credits
Covers the normal and pathological sonographic appearances of additional abdominal structures including urinary bladder, spleen, adrenals, lymphatics and appendix. Includes review of the normal pediatric abdomen and associated pathology. Small parts scanning is emphasized and includes the thyroid, parathyroid, breast, prostate, scrotum and superficial structures. Invasive procedures are covered as well as an introduction to neonatal sonography. Also includes normal variants, congenital anomalies, review of physiology, related laboratory tests and scanning procedures. Prerequisite: DMS 207 with a grade of C or better. Corequisite: DMS 209, DMS 210 and DMS 211.
-
2.00 Credits
Continues to develop, through supervised lab instruction and patient film critique, the student's ability to obtain and interpret sonographic images. Focuses on sonographic terminology, image quality factors, scanning protocols and techniques, and normal/pathological sonographic appearances of abdominal/small parts, obstetrics, vascular structures and specialty procedures. More emphasis is place on quality color Doppler images, especially venous duplex exams. Discusses abnormal sonographic images and correlation of clinical data to develop diagnostic criteria.

-
6.00 Credits
Continues the student's hospital based clinical experience under the supervision of faculty, sonography staff and a clinical instructor. Emphasis is now placed on first, second and third trimester obstetrical exams. Continues to provide practice in the clinical application of abdominal and small parts sonography. Effective communication, operation of equipment, patient care and technical skills development receive special attention. Introduces the student to venous duplex sonography. Corequisite: DMS 208, DMS 209 and DMS 210.
-
2.50 Credits
Continues the student's hospital based clinical experience under the supervision of faculty, sonography staff and a clinical instructor.
