UALH 273 - Scan Lab I

3 Credit(s)

This lab involves explanation and operations of equipment, ergonomics, scanning planes, and protocols for abdominal organs. The students scan each other as patients. The abdominal organs are taught in sections, starting with scanning of the sagittal liver, then transverse liver, gallbladder, aorta, pancreas, renal, bladder, spleen, superficial abdominal musculature, chest, and gastrointestinal tract. The required scanning tests will be completed, by the school faculty, in the scan lab. Once the students pass the test for sagittal liver, which is three to four weeks after the start of the program, they will be promoted from observe (0) to back scan (BS) status in clinical.
Prerequisite(s): Acceptance into the DMS program.
