  The second of a multi-course sequence, that will include the abdominal organs and superficial structures, with normal anatomy, physiology, and pathology from the sonographic imaging and assessment perspective. In SONO 2003, the student became familiar with abdominal sectional anatomy, laboratory data and patient clinical history, as related to the sonographic scanning procedure. SONO 2013 will increase student knowledge of abdominal anatomy while introducing variant and pathologic patterns of organs related to sonographic appearance, physiologic changes, and laboratory findings. The role of Doppler and color-flow techniques in the evaluation of vascular anatomy will be introduced to the student, as well as imaging of some superficial structures. [F]

  A continuation of SONO 2005 Abdomen Clinic 1. The student will increased knowledge and skills in performing sonographic examinations to demonstrate normal anatomy and pathology. Pathologic processes shall be further described in didactics to build on the student's clinical understanding of abnormal physiological processes. The student will continue the practice and performance of abdominal sonographic examinations under clinical supervision, while adding superficial structures. Case studies and imaging critiques will continue. The student's performance shall be assessed through continued sonographer and instructor evaluations and higher-level clinical competencies in each related category. Cooperation in the clinical setting for research related to the SONO 2010 term paper may be necessary. [S]
