A continuation of the knowledge obtained in SONO 2001 and SONO 2011, with application to the instrumentation and clinical environment expanded upon. Fundamentals and characteristics of physics principles are applied in the use of diagnostic medical sonography. Advanced scanning techniques will be examined, to include artifactual image analysis and corrective factors, quality control measurement and observations, the biological effects of ultrasound, and Doppler color flow principals. Theories of physics principals and instrumentation are discussed and reviewed with an emphasis on clinical application.
PREREQUISITE: SONO 2011.
HOURS: 30 lecture hours per semester
CAREER COURSE: Designated primarily for vocational/career programs. This course may be accepted as transfer credit by some colleges and universities, but that decision is made by the receiving institution. This course is collegiate level work, but has been developed with a purpose other than being a university parallel course.
