DMS 207 - Sectional Anatomy (2 CR.)
Course Description
Teaches normal sectional anatomy in the transverse, longitudinal and coronal planes, with correlated sonographic images. Emphasis will be placed on abdominopelvic organs and vasculature. Lecture 2 hours per week.
General Course Purpose
This course provides hands-on experience to reinforce knowledge.
Course Prerequisites/Corequisites
The student must satisfactorily complete all previous sonography courses with a grade of "C" or better.
Course Objectives
