Abdominal Techniques, Anat & Patho (DMS 207)
Term: 2011-2012 AY - Spring Semester
Description
Lectures, projects, on-line searches, discussions and practical demonstrations with campus Ultrasound equipment serve to identify all normal abdominal pathology anatomy and physiology through advanced instrumentation techniques, patient positioning, and cross-sectional anatomy. Complimentary imaging modalities, laboratory results, and the role of diagnostic ultrasound in its dependence on pertinent clinical history will be studied relative to disease states. Special structures such as breast, thyroid, parathyroid, testes and superficial masses will be investigated in further detail to include biopsy and aspiration techniques as well as the use of pulsed Doppler and color Doppler evaluation. An overview of echocardiography, ocular and shoulder sonography will be discussed. Prerequisite: DMS201; Co-requisites: DMS202, DMS208, DMS209.
