-
3.00 Credits
This course emphasizes clinical experience progression under the supervision of faculty, sonography staff, and clinical instructor. Continued practicum in the clinical applications of abdominal sonography, female pelvis, and obstetrical application. Effective communication, operation of equipment, patient care and technical skills are developed
-
2.00 Credits
Continuation of the study of the fundamental principles of diagnostic ultrasound physics and instrumentation. Study of Doppler physics, spectral and color flow principles and instrumentation, artifacts and QA, plus a review of bioeffects, safety, and AIUM acoustic energy guidelines.
-
1.00 Credits
Study of film critique, technical factors, and interpretation of quality sonographic images. Review of sonographic terminology, image quality factors, scanning protocols and techniques, and normal sonographic appearances of abdominal, OB-GYN, and vascular structures. Integration of clinical history and related organ systems to aid in the interpretation of images. Discussion of abnormal sonographic images and correlation of clinical data to develop criteria.
-
3.00 Credits
The student continues to improve scanning skills under the supervision of faculty, sonography staff and a clinical instructor. Emphasis remains on abdominal, small parts, and obstetrical-gynecological sonography. The student will have an opportunity to refine skills and increase self-confidence through progressively more independent scanning. All assigned SCAN proficiencies are completed. Pass/Fail grading.
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to neonatal and pediatric sonographic examinations and pathologies. Peripheral vascular anatomy, protocols, and pathologies are discussed. Included is the practice of carotid artery and lower extremity venous peripheral vascular exams under direct supervision in the laboratory setting.
-
2.00 Credits
Study of various obstetrical, abdominal and superficial parts pathology, including neonatal procedures. GI tract, soft tissues, liver transplants, and invasive procedures. Presentation of pathologic processes, sonographic appearances, and clinical history. Administrative duties pertinent to managing a diagnostic ultrasound department are presented.
-
4.00 Credits
In this final period of clinical study, the student demonstrates full competency and progresses to full independence under the supervision of sonography staff, clinical instructor, and clinical coordinator. Emphasis on abdominal, small parts, OB_GYN pathology identification, diagnosis, and related organ involvement documentation. Rotations in the practice of peripheral vascular exams, breast imaging, and other specialties within the field may be arranged. Pass/Fail grading.
