MIDS 287 - Interventional Sonography Procedures

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 75

Students enhance their understanding of how to support referring practitioners, radiologists, and surgeons with clinical interventions utilizing sonographic image guidance to provide diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes for patients. Students analyze interventional and intraoperative ultrasound procedures while learning to recognize the sonographic appearances of laparoscopic surgery, percutaneous aspiration, percutaneous biopsies, and complex vascular access. Students learn to select appropriate scanning protocols, assemble appropriate equipment, observe sterile technique, and assist the designated operator 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 interventional procedures.
