DMUT 2000

This is the first of two courses related to abdomen and superficial structures. This course will focus on the pathology of the vascular system, liver, biliary system and the gastrointestinal system, as well as Interventional procedures commonly performed under ultrasound guidance. This course will provide further opportunity to develop skills and integrate knowledge from all discipline specific first year courses. The etiology, incidence, laboratory testing, sonographic presentation, differential diagnosis and treatment modalities will be examined. Documented ultrasound images with relevant pathology will be challenged, analyzed, and reviewed in a simulated clinical laboratory environment. This simulated environment will further provide an opportunity for students to integrate their knowledge of anatomy and pathology to formulate sonographic scanning strategies.
