Diagnostic Medical
Sonographer

The course consists of describing scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols and normal characteristics for the evaluation of the reproductive organs and development as well as abnormal/small parts. Student will able to recognize transducer cleaning/preparation, image orientation scan plane, transducer plane, the ultrasound appearance of the pathologies, and the imaging characteristics of common seen pathology associated with neonatal spinal column. Student will also able to recognize and demonstrate the imaging characteristics of common seen pathology associated with neonatal hip, neonatal echocardiography, musculoskeletal system, and neonatal spinal column.

The course instructs and demonstrates the clinical laboratory test and signs and symptoms used for evaluation Female Reproductive organs. The course will explain the standard patient positions related to sonographic images. The course demonstrate scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols and normal characteristics and evaluations of Uterus Ovaries and Fallopian Tubes, Vagina and Adnexal Area with Vasculature. The course will also teach the scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols and normal characteristics for the evaluation of the reproductive organs and development as well as abnormal/small part.

The course teaches the clinical laboratory test and sign and symptoms used for evaluation abdominal organ and small parts pathology, OB. Student will able to describe and demonstrate the standard patient positions related to sonographic image. The course also teaches normal fetal anatomy, apply appropriate measurements. The course will also estimate gestational age by ultrasound evaluation for confirmation of clinical dating for patients.

The course instructs and demonstrates the clinical laboratory test and sign and symptoms used for evaluation abdominal organ and small parts pathology, OB. It will also describe the standard patient positions related to sonographic image. The instructor will explain normal fetal anatomy, apply appropriate measurements .It will also emphasize on estimate gestational age by ultrasound evaluation for confirmation of clinical dating for patients who are undergoing elective repeat cesarean delivery, induction of labor. The course will also describe and evaluate fetal growth (when the patient has an identified etiology for uteroplacental insufficiency, such as severe diabetes mellitus, or for other medical complications of pregnancy when fetal malnutrition, i.e., intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) or macrosomia, is suspected).

The course will explain and demonstrate the clinical laboratory test and sign and symptoms used for evaluation of abdominal organ and OB. It will also describe and demonstrate the standard patient positions related to sonographic image. The instructor will explain the normal fetal anatomy, apply appropriate measurements. The course also teach how to estimate gestational age by ultrasound evaluation for confirmation of clinical dating for patients who are undergoing elective repeat cesarean delivery, induction of labor. The course will explain fetal growth (when the patient has an identified etiology for uteroplacental insufficiency, such as severe diabetes mellitus, or for other medical complications of pregnancy when fetal malnutrition, i.e., intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) or macrosomia, is suspected). The course teaches to perform biophysical profile for fetal well-being (after 28 weeks’ gestation).

The course consisted of teaching the anatomy of the vascular system. The course also demonstrates the common vascular diseases for which the application of ultrasound is critical as a noninvasive diagnostic tool. The course instructs and demonstrates the anatomy of the peripheral arterial system. Students will able to describe the arterial Doppler signals obtained during arterial duplex. Students will also able to recognize the factors associated with stroke. In addition, student will know the anatomy encountered during a carotid duplex imaging examination. Finally, the course also teaches students to recognize the imaging characteristics associated with an internal carotid artery occlusion and the pathologies associated with carotid artery.

The course concentrates on the anatomy of the vascular system. Students will able to recognize and demonstrate the common vascular diseases for which the application of ultrasound is critical as a noninvasive diagnostic tool, the risk factors associated peripheral arterial diseases, the sign and symptoms of peripheral arterial diseases and the anatomy of the peripheral arterial system. Student will also able to describe the arterial Doppler signals obtained during arterial duplex. The course teaches the factors associated with venous diseases, the sign and symptoms of the venous diseases, the characteristics of normal venous system, the imaging characteristics of a venous duplex imaging and the imaging characteristics associated with deep vein thrombosis and venous reflux.
