DMS 282 - Vascular Ultrasound for Clinical Professionals

 
Description
This course consists of learning normal anatomy, sonographic characteristics and the hemodynamic principles of the peripheral vascular system, the cerebral vascular system and the vessels of the abdomen. Instrumentation, scanning techniques, audible signals made by normal and abnormal blood flow and vascular pathology are presented in this course. This course requires a per credit health
career fee; check the tuition and fee schedule for the current rate.

1. Visualize the normal sonographic anatomy of the vascular system in the human body.
2. Distinguish the abnormal sonographic characteristics of the vascular systems from normal vessels using 2-D scanning techniques. 
3. Identify the abnormal hemodynamics of the human vascular system.
4. Analyze the abnormal sonographic findings of the spectral Doppler waveform of the vascular system.
5. Analyze the abnormal color spectral image of the vascular system.

1. Normal anatomy of the vascular system
2. Scanning techniques of the various systems
3. Spectral and color Doppler
4. Pathology causing abnormal hemodynamics of blood flow through the vascular system
5. Scanning techniques and sonographic characteristics of pathology of the various vascular systems
