MIDS 237 - Vascular Sonography Procedures

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 75

Students analyze anatomic and hemodynamic relationships in the vascular system while learning to recognize the normal and abnormal sonographic appearances of the aorta and other abdominal vessels, carotid arteries, upper and lower peripheral arteries, upper and lower peripheral veins, and superficial vasculature. Students enhance their understanding of the clinical applications of sonography as a diagnostic investigation tool by incorporating manual maneuvers to examinations to reveal physiologic and anatomic information. Students learn to select appropriate vascular scanning protocols based on patient history, physiologic data, laboratory values, and complementary imaging studies.
