This course is a study of fundamental principles of acoustic physics including sound
waves, sound wave propagation, sound wave interactions, image production, ultrasound
transducers, transducer arrays, transducer operation, imaging modes, and biological
effects.
This course studies sonographic imaging methods of the female pelvis, the fetus and
the gravid uterus, emphasizing anatomy, physiology, pathology, and embryology.
This course is a study of cross-sectional and sagittal anatomy of the abdomen along
with basic scanning techniques.
This course is a study of the anatomy of the blood vessels with emphasis on normal
sonographic appearance.
This course is an in-depth study of abdominal ultrasound including anatomy, physiology,
and pathology. The sonographic appearance of normal anatomical structures and the
more common abnormalities affecting the abdomen are also discussed.
This course is an advanced study of machine instrumentation, including display modes,
components of an ultrasound system, quality control, an introduction to Doppler, the
biological effects of ultrasound, artifacts, and future trends.
This course is a study of the less common but significant pathological conditions
of the abdominal organs and systems, advanced disease processes, differential diagnosis
associated with these pathologies, and advanced scanning methods.
This course is an advanced study of the gynecological pathologic processes, including
fetal anomalies/abnormalities and advanced fetal gestational age testing.
This course is a detailed study of the abdomen, superficial structures and neurosonography
with emphasis on the anatomy, physiology, and pathological conditions seen with sonographic
imaging.
This course is a study of thyroid, breast, testicular and other superficial structures
of the body by ultrasound with emphasis on anatomy, physiology, and pathological conditions
associated with these organs.
This course is a study of breast ultrasound to include, anatomy, physiology, and pathology.
The sonographic appearance of normal anatomical structures and the more common pathologies
affecting the breast are also discussed.
This course is an introduction to sonographic evaluation of the blood vessels to include
types of studies performed and basic scanning techniques for peripheral vascular ultrasound.
This course is a supervised clinical experience and practice designed to continue
the student's development of vascular ultrasound scanning skills and techniques.
This course is an introduction to the diagnostic ultrasound department, including
initial examination performances, machine operation, and administrative/record keeping
procedures.
This course covers routine sonography procedures in the clinical environment.
This course is a supervised clinical experience and practice designed to introduce
the student to the Diagnostic Ultrasound Department.
This course is supervised clinical experience and practice designed to continue and
advance the student's ultrasound scanning skills and techniques.
This course is supervised clinical experience and practice designed to continue and
advance the student's ultrasound scanning skills and techniques. This clinical course
also provides an opportunity for students to explore advancements in sonography.
This course covers advanced sonographic modalities in the clinical environment.
This course is an in-depth review of ultrasound physics, anatomy, physiology, and
pathology and provides test preparation for the national certification exams. Emphasis
is placed on the interpretation of clinical tests and scanning techniques relative
