  • DMS 203: Advanced Abdomen and Small Parts Ultrasound

    5.00 Credits
    Community College of Allegheny County

    In this course, students specializing in the general sonography tract build upon their knowledge of the abnormal ultrasound appearance of tissues, organs and systems of the abdominal cavity and small parts of the body. This course is divided into two learning modules. The first module is five weeks. It consists of lecture and discussion of the normal and abnormal ultrasound appearance of the thyroid, breast, scrotum and prostate. The second module is 10 weeks. It consists of lectures reviewing and discussing ultrasound-guided invasive procedures and pathological conditions of the abdominal organs. Ultrasound images representative of various diseases in abdominal organs and systems are presented and correlated with related diagnostic imaging. Relevant histological aspects of pathological conditions are discussed and correlated with their acoustical properties and ultrasound characteristics. Clinical features, laboratory values and the pathophysiology of pertinent diseases are presented.
