IMAG 1550 - Vascular Sonography II

Credits: 2
Students examine the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular system along with the proper scanning protocols. Students identify standard form pathological arterial blood flow in the peripheral and cerebrovascular vascular system and recognize normal and pathological ankle-brachial indices. The student explores the importance of hemodynamics and sonographic image quality as it relates to the anatomy and pathology. Students compare and contrast the results with other diagnostic procedures. The student identifies therapeutic interventions and non-invasive testing-exams along with protocols. This course is offered in the spring semester.
