17 courses with the subject RSS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Presents basic concepts of the healthcare delivery system and an introduction to medical imaging and radiation sciences with a focus on sonography. Emphasizes patient care, diversity, sterile procedure, ergonomics and body mechanics, communication, essential sonographer skills, professional ethics and medicolegal issues.
Presents general acoustic principles including energy transfer through wave propagation, transducer construction, spatial and temporal resolution, beam steering and focusing, imaging modes, and 3D/4D ultrasound. Emphasizes applied principles of instrumentation, including knobology and image optimization.
Presents normal abdominal anatomy, physiology, related vasculature, cross sectional relationships, and scanning techniques regarding the abdominal sonographic examination. This course is designed to introduce students to the various imaging planes and correlative methods that are used to assess the abdomen.
Presents properties of ultrasound’s interaction with tissue and instrumentation of the ultrasound machine. Topics include computer technology, creation and storage of the ultrasound image, hemodynamics, spectral, color and power Doppler, acoustic artifacts, bioeffects & safety, and quality assurance/quality improvement relative to ultrasound. Advanced topics such as new imaging methods and new developments in ultrasound technology will also be introduced. Prerequisite: RSS 400
This course is designed to present female pelvis anatomy, physiology, pathology, related vasculature, scanning techniques and protocols regarding the pelvic sonographic examination. Normal and abnormal first trimester pregnancy is also included in this course.
Presents obstetrical applications of diagnostic ultrasound. Reviews the anatomy and physiology of fetal development including embryology and genetics. Presents normal and abnormal second and third trimester sonography as well as scanning protocols. Course includes obstetric biometry, screening and diagnostic testing.
Presents a comprehensive review of physics, abdominal, pelvic, obstetrical and high resolution imaging applications of general sonography in preparation for the diagnostic medical sonography national certification examinations.
Students perform sonographic procedures during clinical rotations at affiliate sites under the supervision of designated clinical instructors. Evaluation of cognitive, effective and psychomotor skills is based on competency in scanning protocols and techniques, professionalism and proficiency in patient care.
Continuation of Radiologic Sciences S 412, Clinical Sonography I. Provides supervised clinical practice of diagnostic medical sonography in a university laboratory and clinical setting. Students are responsible for imaging and recording anatomic structures and pathology needed to perform optimal examinations. Requires intensive, hands-on clinical practice. Prerequisite: RSS 412
Continuation of Radiologic Sciences S 413, Clinical Sonography II. Continuation of Radiologic Sciences S 413, Clinical Sonography II. Students will increase proficiency in identification of pathology and improve ability to perform complete studies with supervision. Prerequisite: RSS 413
Presents, demonstrates and guides hands-on practice on equipment utilized in a general sonography laboratory to evaluate general sonography anatomy. Emphasizes the clinical application, operation, knobology, applied ultrasound physics, and instrumentation associated with such equipment combined with two-dimensional imaging of abdomino-pelvic organs, regions and related vasculature.
This course presents the latest techniques in high resolution ultrasound imaging, including but not limited to breast, thyroid, male pelvic, pediatric examinations, soft tissue structures, interventional procedures and elastograpghy. Includes discussion of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and related vasculature of high resolution sonography examinations.
