DMS 111 — DMS-111. Principles and Instrumentation II. (3 Credits)
This course is a continuation of DMS-109 , with emphasis on advanced ultrasound physics and instrumentation concepts. Topics include hemodynamics, Doppler physics, advanced image processing, harmonic and 3D/4D imaging, quality assurance, and safety standards. Laboratory sessions provide practice in applying Doppler and hemodynamic principles, identifying artifacts, and performing quality assurance testing. Successful completion prepares students for advanced scanning practice and the ARDMS Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) examination. (3 contact hours)
