building on their scanning skills during didactic courses that do not allow scanning, i.e., OB, neonate, and pediatrics. Students will continue practicing the protocols and scanning techniques of the prior lab courses (abdomen, vascular, gynecology, and/or small parts). This class allows the students to work on their scanning speed and advancedtechniques,suchasintercostalscanning.Newstudentswillbeintroducedtotheprotocolsandbegin building on their scanning skills. Also, critical thinking scenarios will be applied to the lessons in the lab to ensurestudentsunderstandnormalanatomyvs.pathology.

This course provides the learner with an overview of duplex imaging of the extracranial cerebrovascular system, including Vertebral and Subclavian arteries, to evaluate Cerebrovascular Disease. Course study includes normal andabnormalcross-sectionanatomy,hemodynamics,spectralanalysis,clinicalsignsandsymptoms,indications for exams, definitions of terms, scanning protocol, instrumentation, sonographic techniques (grayscale conventional, color Doppler, color with spectral Doppler, and power Doppler) and examples of common carotid, vertebral and Subclavian artery pathology.

UT701–Clinical3–288ClockHours/9.5QuarterCreditHours Prerequisites: Completion of Modules I, II, III, IV, V, and VI and Clinical 1 and 2 with a “C” or better. This course comprises twelve weeks of Level 3 externship integrated within UT Module courses. Externship expectations will vary as to the externship site assignment for each student. This allows the student to relate theory to practice in a supervised situation. Thestudent’sability to perform correct protocols and acquire effective patient diagnostic information is evidencedbymeetingspecificobjectivesandcompetenciesineachclinicalspecialtyarea.Level1competency evaluation will be signed off by clinical instructors on Trajecsys and reviewed by the clinical coordinator.
