IMAG 2212
(3 cr.)
Cross-Sectional Anatomy
Students identify internal structures
including organs and vasculature important
to the objectives of Diagnostic Medical
Sonography (DMS). Students develop
cross-sectional, anatomic recognition
skills and skill in correlating images from
other imaging modalities. Prerequisites:
Acceptance into the Diagnostic Medical
Sonography program, completion of
DVST 0520 or ENGL 0520, ENGL 0700 or
ENGL 1001, and MATH 0930 (or equivalent
placement test scores).
IMAG 2215
(4 cr.)
Abdominal Sonography I
Students set up for the abdominal
ultrasound examination and perform
ultrasounds of the abdominal organs
including liver, gallbladder, and biliary
tree. Emphasis is placed on recognizing
the normal echo-texture of anatomy and
pathology of the abdominal organs. Practice
scan sessions are included. Prerequisites:
Completion of IMAG 2205, IMAG
2210, and IMAG 2212.
IMAG 2220
(3 cr.)
OB/GYN Sonography I
Students perform ultrasounds of the
nongravid uterus and the first trimester
pregnancy. They explore the anatomy,
physiology, and pathology of the female
reproductive system as well as intrauterine
and ectopic pregnancies. Corequisites:
IMAG 2205 and IMAG 2210.
IMAG 2240
(2 cr.)
Ultrasound Physics II
Students build on skills learned in IMAG
2210. Students demonstrate competency
in general Doppler, color Doppler,
and spectral Doppler principles, quality
assurance and quality control principles,
and sonographic safety as they relate
to bioeffects. Students explore image
production and display, storage of the
ultrasound image, and sonographic artifacts.
Students investigate new frontiers
in ultrasound principles, and demonstrate
competency in transducer selection,
usage, setting scanning parameters,
and interactive properties of ultrasound.
Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2210.
IMAG 2245
(3 cr.)
Abdominal Sonography II/Small Parts
Students build on skills learned in IMAG
2215. Students perform ultrasounds
of the abdominal organs including the
pancreas, kidneys, urinary bladder,
spleen, and the retroperitoneum. Emphasis
is placed on performing the entire
abdominal ultrasound in sequence and
recognizing the anatomy and pathology
of the abdominal organs. Students also
investigate superficial structure imaging
and integrate clinical and diagnostic
procedures such as thyroid, breast, male
reproductive system, and superficial
structures common and specific to
each organ. Practice scan sessions are
included. Prerequisite: Completion of
IMAG 2215.
IMAG 2250
(3 cr.)
OB/GYN Synography II
Students perform ultrasounds of the
second and third trimester pregnancy.
They explore the anatomy, physiology,
and pathology of the female pelvis and
the developing fetus. Students will be
exposed to interventional procedures
related to pregnancy. Prerequisite:
Completion of IMAG 2220.
IMAG 2252
(3 cr.)
Introduction to Vascular Sonography
Students are introduced to the uses of
vascular sonography. Students explore
the differences from the general concentration
of ultrasound. Learners outline
the components of vascular exams and
learn to compare and contrast results
with other diagnostic procedures. Prerequisites:
Completion of IMAG 2245, IMAG
2250, and IMAG 2230.
IMAG 2255
(11 cr.)
Sonography Clinical Experience I
This is a supervised clinical experience
in an ultrasound imaging department.
Students perform and correlate theory to
practice on examinations of the abdomen,
gravid and nongravid pelvis, and
small parts. Students demonstrate the
requested anatomic structures by correctly
manipulating the equipment and
proper transducer usage. Students identify
pathological processes of disease
and normal anatomic variants. Participation
in this course will take place at a
hospital or clinic. Prerequisite: Completion
of IMAG 2245.
IMAG 2260
(13 cr.)
Sonography Clinical Experience II
Students continue the clinical experience
in an ultrasound imaging department.
Students enhance their scanning and
employee skills through clinical practice.
Students apply and relate theory by scanning
independently of the sonographer
(with minimal supervision) on studies
of the abdomen, gravid and nongravid
pelvis, and small parts examinations.
Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2255.
IMAG 2265
(1 cr.)
Registry Review I
Students participate in a comprehensive
review of abdominal and OB/GYN course
content in preparation for the certifying
examination of the American Registry
of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of
program courses or approval of instructor.
IMAG 2270
(1 cr.)
Registry Review II
This is a continuation of IMAG 2265.
Students participate in a comprehensive
review of second and third trimester OB
and superficial structures in preparation
of the certifying examination of the
American Registry of Diagnostic Medical
Sonographers. Prerequisite: Completion
of IMAG 2265.
