Students will recognize normal and abnormal sonographic imaging related to the shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip, knee, and foot and ankle. Bioeffects, LARA, principles of sonography will be incorporated in the didactic and laboratory classes. Laboratory experience will include development of entry-level sonographic scanning techniques of the musculoskeletal system. Student will demonstrate the ability to perform entry-level musculoskeletal sonographic examinations using real-time sonographic equipment, Doppler, and color Doppler with appropriate transducers. Note: Prerequisite waived for Registered Sonographers with ARDMS or CCI. Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 2 hours Prerequisite(s): DMSD 2210
