DMSU 132 Pediatrics and Small Parts Ultrasound

This course focuses on the embryology, anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the neck, thyroid, breast, scrotum, musculoskeletal, pediatric hip and abdomen, and neonatal brain and spine. Students will be taught protocols and how to distinguish between normal and abnormal sonographic appearances. Patient history, symptoms, clinical laboratory tests, and other diagnostic procedures will be incorporated.
