MIDS 267 - Musculoskeletal Sonography Procedures

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 75

Students enhance their understanding of the clinical applications of sonography as a diagnostic investigation tool. Students analyze anatomic relationships of the musculoskeletal system while learning to recognize the normal and abnormal sonographic appearances of the tendons, ligaments, muscle, nerves, bursa, and joint capsules of the elbow, foot, ankle, hand, wrist, knee, and shoulder. Students learn to select appropriate scanning protocols based on patient history, physiologic data, laboratory values, and complementary imaging studies. Students will apply research methodology to examining the expanded use of sonography for musculoskeletal imaging.
