Course Description

DS 111 MUSCULOSKELETAL SONOGRAPHY   3.0 Credit(s)
This course provides a comprehensive study of musculoskeletal sonography, including normal anatomy and physiology, pathology, examination protocols, and clinical applications. Students explore sonographic evaluation of the musculoskeletal system across a range of anatomical regions and clinical conditions. Emphasis is placed on high-frequency imaging, static and dynamic examination techniques, Doppler applications, image optimization, and recognition of normal and abnormal sonographic findings. Students integrate patient history, physical findings, and complementary diagnostic information with sonographic findings to develop appropriate examination strategies and clinical correlation. Advanced and evolving applications in musculoskeletal sonography are incorporated throughout the course. Laboratory application is integrated within DS106L - Sonography Lab III and DS107L - Sonography Lab IV.
