104 Course Descriptions transmission, ergonomic optimization to reduce Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs) and CDC’s standard precaution guidelines. This course is completed during the first week of the DMS program. DMS 211 Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation I (2CR) Spring; Co: DMS 201 Students will be introduced to the principles of ultrasound physics and instrumentation. Emphasis will be placed on parameter of sound waves, interaction of sound and media, transducers, artifacts, safety, and quality assurance. Students will also become familiar with metric units, sound beams, types of resolution, display modes and scan converters. DMS 212 Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation (2CR) Spring (ALL DMS Classes PG 97) Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation II - This course is a continuation of the principles of ultrasound physics and instrumentation. Emphasis will be placed on characteristics of sound waves, interaction of sound in soft tissue, transducers, artifacts, safety, and quality assurance. Student will also become familiar with metric units, sound beam profiles, Doppler techniques, optimization of images, bioeffects and ultrasound system components. DMS 221 Abdominal Ultrasound I (2CR) Spring; Co: DMS 201, DMS 211, DMS 221L This course is a study of the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology of the upper abdominal cavity, peritoneal cavity to include aorta, IVC, celiac trunk, SMA, gastrointestinal organs, abdominal wall, peritoneum, and diaphragm as visualized by sonography, including the application of Doppler principles. The course is integrated with DMS 221L, a hands-on sonographic scanning lab that focuses on the knowledge, skills, and techniques for acquisition of appropriate sonographic protocols and image optimization of the abdomen. Color and spectral Doppler applications will also be applied to the appropriate anatomy. DMS 221L Abdominal Ultrasound I Lab (1CR) Spring; Co: DMS 201, DMS 211, DMS 221 This course is a hands-on sonographic scanning lab that focuses on the knowledge, skills, and techniques for acquisition of appropriate sonographic protocols and image optimization of the abdomen. Color and spectral Doppler applications will also be applied to the appropriate anatomy. This course is integrated with DMS 221, the didactic study of the anatomy, physiology, pathology and pathophysiology of the upper abdominal cavity, peritoneal cavity to include: aorta, IVC, celiac trunk, SMA, gastrointestinal organs, abdominal wall, peritoneum, and diaphragm as visualized by sonography, including the application of Doppler principles.
