UT402–AbdominalSonography2–68ClockHours/6.5QuarterCreditHours Prerequisites: Completion of Module I, II, and III courses with a “C” or better and concurrent enrollment with all ModuleIVUTdidacticorlaboratorycourses. Abdominal Sonography 2 is a progression of UT 302-Abdominal Sonography 1. This course builds on the foundations set in the instruction process of protocols and scanning techniques. The students will learn additional anatomy pertinent to sonographic imaging along with skills in the diagnostic process. The common disease processes of each organ will be covered with instructions on identifying and presenting suspected diseases and disease processes using other diagnostic tools such as patient history, lab results, and correlation with other imaging modalities. Doppler of the abdominal vessels will be taught as a tool to discover and prove disease processes of organs.
