Description
Diagnostic medical sonographic imaging of the female (non-gravid) pelvic anatomy and respective physiologies are studied within the context of other imaging and testing techniques typically used to evaluate normal and abnormal pelvic status. Students become familiar with typical requests submitted to ultrasound departments and appropriate ultrasound imaging techniques. Lectures, practical demonstrations, on-line searches, and group discussions serve to understand the normal growth and development of the fetus through conception to delivery and the postpartum status. Introduction to basic obstetrical pathologies will be discussed concurrently to compare and contrast to the normal condition. Prerequisites: DMS200, DMS201, DMS203, DMS206; Co-requisites: DMS207, DMS208, DMS209.
