VAS - 320L Physics & Instrumentation Lab

Students will actively learn basic ultrasound techniques and use of equipment controls in this lab course. Duplex ultrasound controls for B-mode, Doppler, and color image production will be utilized by students to create interpretable images and waveforms. Scanning skills such as appropriate vessel orientation, moving from transverse to longitudinal view on vessels, scanning in long and transverse planes, and appropriate ergonomics, are also covered. Student efficiency and problem solving in use of equipment controls are evaluated in the lab proficiency exams. Retake Counts for Credit: No. Pass/No Pass Grading Allowed: No. Credit(s): 1
