AL 300 Introduction to Ultrasound (3)
An introduction to the Diagnostic Ultrasound profession. Topics include discussion of sonographic terminology, basic theories of equipment operation, body imaging, seminars in patient care, profes- sionalism, and information concern- ing clinical education

AL 331 Ultrasound, Vascular and Cardiovascular Physics & Instrumentation II (3)
Information concerning the basic physical principles of sound waves, their applications to the human body, the operation and physical charac- teristics of the transducer, the method by which the sound waves are converted into an image. And in-depth instruction on physics principles and instrumentation will be presented. Topics include: image creation, hemodynamics of blood flow, quality assurance, biological effects, color flow Doppler, spectral Doppler and continuous wave Doppler. Venous and arterial hemodynamics, plethysmography, pressure measurements and other non-ultrasound methods are included.

AL 373 General Sonography Procedures I - Lecture/Lab (3)
Lecture/lab class concerning embry- ology, anatomy, physiology, patho- physiology, and general sonography procedures. This will include ab- dominal, obstetrical, gynecological, and miscellaneous sonographic procedures. The laboratory portion of the class will involve "hands on" scanning under staff supervision.

AL 374 General Sonography Procedures II - Lecture/Lab (3)
A continuation of AL 373 with more detailed and in depth lecture material and a higher level of sophistication in the "hands on" scanning portion of the instruction

AL 376 General Sonography Clinical I (5)
Students are assigned to various clinical settings to allow the student to complete procedural evaluations in basic general sonography.

AL 377 General Sonography Clinical II (5)
Students will continue their clinical experience in hospital and office settings. They will be exposed to an intermediate level of complexity involving the various procedures included in the general sonography curriculum, and they will have active participation.

AL 378 Advanced General Sonography Clinical (5)
The student will be participating in advanced general sonography procedures at both hospital and office settings.

AL 383 Cardiac Sonography Procedures I - Lecture/Lab (3)
Lecture/lab class concerning cardiac embryology, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and cardiac sonog- raphy procedures. The laboratory portion of the class will involve "hands on" scanning under staff supervision.

AL 384 Cardiac Sonography Procedures II - Lecture/Lab (3)
A continuation of AL 383 with more detailed and in depth lecture material and a higher level of "hands on" scanning instruction.

AL 385 Cardiac Sonography Clinical I (5)
Students are assigned to various clinical settings to allow the student to complete procedural evaluations in basic cardiac sonography.

AL 386 Cardiac Sonography Clinical II (5)
Students will continue their clinical experience at various clinical settings including hospital and office facili- ties. They will be exposed to an intermediate level of cardiac sonog- raphy procedures and will actively participate

AL 387 Advanced Cardiac Sonography Clinical (5)
The students will be participating in advanced cardiac sonography proce- dures, again, in a variety of clinical settings.

AL 393 Vascular Sonography Procedures I - Lecture & Lab (3)
An in-depth discussion of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophy- siology of the abdominal peripheral, and cerebral vascular system. Hemodynamics, Doppler waveforms, pressure measurements, plethysmog- raphy, appropriate pharmacology, sonographic appearance and scanning techniques will be discussed. This will include arterial and venous sys- tems, therapeutic intervention, and non-invasive testing-exam protocols.

AL 394 Vascular Sonography Procedures II - Lecture & Lab (3)
Continuation of AL 393 to include discussion of the anatomy, physi- ology, and pathophysiology of the abdominal peripheral, and cerebral vascular system. Hemodynamics, Doppler waveforms, pressure mea- surements, plethysmography, appropriate pharmacology, sono- graphic appearance and scanning techniques will be discussed. Therapeutic intervention includes arterial and venous systems, non-invasive testing, exam protocols.

AL 395 Vascular Sonography Clinical I (5)
Skill development of ultrasongraphic procedures for extremity arterial and venous, cerebrovascular, abdominal vascular evaluation, and other special non-invasive vascular procedures. Students are assigned to various clinical settings to allow the student to complete procedural evaluations in basic vascular sonography.

AL 396 Vascular Sonography Clinical II (5)
Students will continue their clinical experience at various clinical settings, including hospitals and office facilities.

AL 397 Advanced Vascular Sonography Clinical (5)
Students will be participating in advanced vascular procedures, again, at a variety of clinical settings.
