Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: PHY 127 , DMS 115C , DMS 116C , DMS 137C
Co-requisites: DMS 203 , DMS 204 , DMS 207 , DMS 223C , DMS 224C and DMS 235C
Description
This is a course which combines theory and practice in ultrasound instrumentation and quality control. Topics include functions of the components of processing, scan converter displays, image and display techniques, film and methods of permanent image recording, ultrasound transducers, operating standards, equipment calibration, resolution, gray scale photography and film critique. This course requires a per credit health career fee; check the tuition and fee schedule for the current rate.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Locate and identify sensitivity controls.
