Anatomy & Physiology

120 Hours

This course reviews the normal anatomy and physiology of the human body and then expands those concepts in the context of sonographic appearance, including cross-sectional anatomy and physiology of abdominal, vascular, obstetrical, and gynecological structures. Among the main goals of the course is to provide structured information and guidelines for adequate-quality scanning procedures.

Patient Care Techniques, INCL. CPR

90 Hours

Introduction to patient care skills applied to the sonographer role in an imaging department. An exploration of nursing care skills, scanning ergonomics, patient confidentiality, and communication skills with hospital personnel as applied to all areas of sonography.

Physics and Instrumentation

135 Hours

This course is designed to cover a broad range of physics topics. As these topics are applied to various problem situations, the student will develop critical thinking skills, and through the use of group activities, the student will enhance cooperative attitudes. Topics include computer technologies, math calculations, mechanics, measurement, heat, fluid and gas laws, atomic and nuclear physics, electromagnetics, light, and sound.

Abdominal Sonography

200 Hours

Examines the clinical applications within the specialty of abdominal sonography, including interpretation of normal and abnormal sonographic patterns, pathology, related clinical signs and symptoms, normal variants, and clinical laboratory tests, including laboratory sessions on basic scanning techniques and protocols.

Male Pelvic Sonography

45 Hours

The course teaches scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols, and normal characteristics for evaluating the reproductive organs and development as well as abnormal/small parts. Students will able to recognize transducer cleaning/preparation, image orientation scan plane, and transducer plane, the ultrasound appearance of the pathologies, the imaging characteristics of commonly seen pathology associated with testes and scrotum, the imaging characteristics of commonly seen pathology associated with prostate and the imaging characteristics of commonly seen pathology associated with the musculoskeletal system.

Neck (Thyroid & Parathyroid) Sonography

45 Hours

The course teaches the recognition of transducer cleaning/preparation, image orientation scan plane and transducer plane, the ultrasound appearance of pathologies, and the imaging characteristics of commonly seen pathology associated with thyroid and parathyroid.

Breast Sonography

45 Hours

The course consists of describing scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols and normal characteristics of the breast, transducer cleaning/preparation, image orientation scan plane and transducer plane, and the ultrasound appearance of breast pathologies.

Musculoskeletal Sonography

35 Hours

The course describes scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols, and typical characteristics for evaluating the reproductive organs and development as well as abnormal/small parts. Students will be able to recognize transducer cleaning/preparation, image orientation scan plane, transducer plane, the ultrasound appearance of the pathologies, and the imaging characteristics of commonly seen pathology associated with neonatal spinal columns. Students will also be able to recognize and demonstrate the imaging characteristics of commonly seen pathology associated with neonatal hip, neonatal echocardiography, musculoskeletal system, and neonatal spinal column.

Gynecology

130 Hours

The course instructs and demonstrates the clinical laboratory test and signs and symptoms used to evaluate abdominal organs and small parts pathology, GYN. The course will explain the standard patient positions related to sonographic images. The course demonstrates scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols, and typical characteristics or evaluation of the Liver, Gallbladder, Biliary Tree, Pancreas, Kidney, Spleen, Retroperitoneal Vasculature, Thyroid and Parathyroid, Breast, Adrenal Gland, Testes and Prostate Gland, Ovary and Uterine, GYN. The course will also teach scanning techniques, basic scanning protocols, and normal characteristics for evaluating reproductive organs and their development and abnormal/small parts.

OB 1st Trimester

140 Hours

The course teaches the clinical laboratory tests and signs and symptoms used to evaluate abdominal organs and small parts pathology, OB. Students will be able to describe and demonstrate the standard patient positions related to sonographic images. The course also teaches normal fetal anatomy and applies appropriate measurements. The course will also estimate gestational age by ultrasound evaluation to confirm clinical dating for patients.

OB 2nd Trimester

75 Hours

The course instructs and demonstrates the clinical laboratory test and signs and symptoms used to evaluate abdominal organs and small parts pathology, OB. It will also describe the standard patient positions related to sonographic images. The instructor will explain normal fetal anatomy and apply appropriate measurements. It will also emphasize estimated gestational age by ultrasound evaluation to confirm clinical dating for patients undergoing elective repeat cesarean delivery and labor induction. 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).

OB 3rd Trimester

75 Hours

The course will explain and demonstrate the clinical laboratory tests and signs and symptoms used to evaluate abdominal organs and OB. It will also describe and demonstrate the standard patient positions related to sonographic images. The instructor will explain the normal fetal anatomy and apply appropriate measurements. The course also teaches how to estimate gestational age by ultrasound evaluation to confirm clinical dating for patients undergoing elective repeat cesarean delivery and labor induction. 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).
