The sonographer will continue to explore the role of the sonographer in an actual clinical environment. This course is designed to expose the student to the role responsibilities of a clinical sonographer in the hospital/clinic situation by allowing observation of the sonographer in the daily hospital/clinic setting. Students will rotate through at least two (2) hospital/clinic facilities to gain experience in the performance of real time ultrasound procedures and imaging. The student will begin the initial phase of instruction in scanning protocols.

This course is designed to provide students with a detailed explanation of physical principles and instruments of ultrasound. The theory of physics principles is discussed and their practical applications presented. Basic principles of instrumentation are discussed and the practical applications reviewed. Emphasis is on theory and clinical application. If the sonographer is to obtain the highest quality of diagnostic information, they must understand the underlying physical principles.

This course is a study of the vascular anatomy and physiology in the normal and abnormal patient. The hemodynamics, pathology, and pathophysiology of the vascular system is discussed and analyzed. The pathology, clinical signs and symptoms, applicable lab values, pathophysiology, and differential diagnosis will be presented. Areas of focus to include hemodynamics, carotid and lower extremity imaging.
