DMS 133 – Cross Sectional Anatomy

Course Description

This course introduces detailed normal anatomy in various planes used during sonographic examinations. Information is weighted toward normal structures which are sonographically visible. Structures are described according to relative location and proportionality. Anatomy is identified in both cadaver and sonographic modes. Structures include the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. Emphasis is placed on sonographically identifying normal cross sectional anatomy based on echogenicity, the position of other relative anatomy and proportionality of size. Topics include: normal sectional anatomy of the neck: vascular and thyroid; normal sectional anatomy of the adult chest; normal sectional anatomy of the abdomen in adults; normal sectional anatomy of the male and female pelvis; and normal sectional anatomy of the extremities: muscles.
