DMS 114 — DMS-114. Sonography Applications. (2 Credits)
This course emphasizes the application and integration of sonographic principles across abdominal, obstetric/gynecologic, and vascular imaging. Students will review normal and abnormal anatomy, physiology, and sonographic appearances while applying standardized scanning protocols and techniques. Correlation with patient history, laboratory values, and findings from other imaging modalities is explored to support diagnostic reasoning. Laboratory sessions provide opportunities to practice transducer selection, exam preparation, image optimization, and comprehensive scanning workflows. Case-based learning and simulated patient scenarios reinforce critical thinking, documentation, and professional practice skills. (3 contact hours)
