Presents cross sectional anatomical relationships and recognition of structures of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities in transverse, coronal and sagittal section.
Presents in-depth training in the properties of ultrasound and Doppler physics, instrumentation, equipment operation, display systems, recording devices, image artifacts, biological effects of ultrasound and quality assurance methods.
This course includes discussion of abdominal, superficial, pediatric and neonatal sonography including anatomy, interpretation of normal and abnormal sonographic patterns, flow characteristic and waveforms, pathology, related clinical signs and symptoms, normal variants and clinical laboratory tests of the abdominal pelvic wall and cavities.

Facilitates a graduate’s entry into the career of sonography. Topics include resumé writing and job interviewing, test taking strategies, registry examination preparation and comprehensive review of content specific to registry examinations.
Provides an introduction to basic vascular anatomy, vascular physics and instrumentation, hemodynamics and pathological patterns. Topics include Doppler scanning of cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular systems.
This course is a continuation of General Vascular Sonography I. Basic vascular anatomy, vascular physics and instrumentation, hemodynamics and pathological patterns will be reviewed. Topics for this course will include peripheral arterial systems, abdominal and pelvic vasculature and correlative imaging studies.
Clinical Education I is a competency-based clinical experience that intensifies the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skill level of students in the performance of sonography procedures. Students continue all standard practices learned in the previous term and perform more complex examinations discussed in didactic courses. Students begin to master sonography equipment and complete sonography procedures under direct supervision.

Presents cross sectional anatomy of the female pelvis, normal and abnormal sonographic features of the non-gravid pelvis, as well as normal and abnormal anatomy of the first, second and third trimesters. Embryology, early fetal development and the relationship of abnormal findings of the patient history, physical examination and laboratory findings are emphasized.
