UST 220* - Physics and Instrumentation I
This course is designed to provide students with a detailed explanation of physical principles and instruments of ultrasound. The theory of physics principles is discussed and their practical applications presented. Basic principles of instrumentation are discussed and the practical applications reviewed. Emphasis is on theory and clinical application. If the sonographer is to obtain the highest quality of diagnostic information, they must understand the underlying physical principles.
PREREQUISITES: UST 205*.
COREQUISITES: UST 200*, UST 211C*, UST 240*.
Vocational/Career Program Designation: *Designated primarily for vocational/career programs This course may be accepted as transfer credit by some colleges and universities, but that decision is made by the receiving institution. This course is collegiate level work, but has been developed with a purpose other than being a university parallel course.

UST 240* - Abdominal Scanning
This course is designed to give the student an understanding of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the abdomen. Specific abdominal topics include: aorta, IVC/porta hepatic, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, renals, spleen, retroperitoneum, peritoneal cavity and abdominal Doppler. Emphasis will be placed on sonographic features and characteristics of normal anatomy as well as the various disease processes that affect each organ. Each organ/structure will be discussed separately in terms of anatomy, physiology and pathology. Course content will then proceed to integrate clinical procedures, diagnostic procedures laboratory values, etc. that are common to all and specific to each organ.
PREREQUISITES: UST 250*.
COREQUISITES: UST 200*, UST 211C*, UST 220*.
Vocational/Career Program Designation: *Designated primarily for vocational/career programs This course may be accepted as transfer credit by some colleges and universities, but that decision is made by the receiving institution.

UST 241* - OB/GYN Scanning
This course is defined to give the student understanding of the anatomy, physiology and pathology associated and/or identified in the female pelvis as well as its normal and abnormal sonographic appearance. This course is also designed to introduce the student to the first trimester of pregnancy and its related anatomy, physiology and possible pathology and/or complications. Embryology and early fetal development will be covered in detail. In addition, the sonographic identification and imaging of the embryo and fetus will be discussed. Transabdominal and transvaginal scanning techniques and protocols will be covered. This course is also designed to give the student detailed instruction in the role of Sonography in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Fetal development, physiology and anatomy will be discussed at length. In addition, all major fetal anomalies and maternal complications directly related to the second and third trimesters of pregnancy will be covered in detail. The sonographic imaging of the normal fetus and the fetus with anomalies will also be discussed.
