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. Students apply knowledge learned in this course and review content from Ultrasound Physics I throughout this course in order to prepare for national board certification. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2210.

• IMAG 2245: ABDOMINAL SONOGRAPHY II/SMALL PARTS

  2.00 Credits

  Laramie County Community College

  
  This course is a continuation of Abdominal Sonography I. Students perform ultrasounds of the abdominal organs including the liver, gallbladder, 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. This course if only offered spring semester. Prerequisite: Completion of IMAG 2215.
