DMSU 285 Ultrasound Vascular II Lab

In this course, students will continue to focus on learning proper scan techniques, vascular measurement, and spectral Doppler applications in the lab while incorporating advanced methods. This course expands upon vascular assessment techniques by adding in transcranial Doppler and abdominal cavity interrogation. This laboratory course applies advanced technical ultrasonic skills to the topics and concepts covered in the Ultrasound Vascular I course.
