    Description
    Examines the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the female reproductive system and fetal development as seen through diagnostic sonography. Students learn to identify anatomical variations, sonographic appearances, and pathologies, applying sonographic techniques for obstetric and gynecological exams. This includes assessing fetal gestational age, anatomy, and pathology, along with associated maternal conditions. The course covers clinical symptoms, sonographic appearances, scanning techniques and protocols, and lab tests. Hands-on labs provide practical experience with real-time ultrasound equipment, refining scanning techniques, patient positioning, and transducer selection for standard pelvic exams. Admission to the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program is required.
