Practical training in a simulated clinical laboratory will focus on completing and becoming proficient in scanning of the human body. Emphasis will be placed on instrumentation, protocol, record findings along with associated calculations, and anatomy identification of the abdomen, thyroid, pelvis, obstetrics, breast, and vascular systemsStudent Learning Outcomes

• Illustrate aspects of patient care pertaining to sonography.
• Perform proper ultrasound instrumentation, transducer care and maintenance.
• Perform abdominal, thyroid, pelvic, obstetrics, gynecology, breast, and vascular ultrasound scans following set protocols.
• List ultrasound protocol for scrotum and prostate imaging.
• Perform various ultrasound measurements following set protocols.
• Generate patient history, measurements, and comments on a sonographer report.
• Produce Doppler spectral waveform images of the vascular systems.
• Differentiate between normal and abnormal ultrasound anatomy through simulation scanning exercises.
• Identify the pleural spaces sonographically.
• Discuss various pathology cases and interpret sonography images.
