Concepts of Vascular Imaging

Measurable Student Learning Outcomes

  1. (Analysis Level) Students will analyze vascular sonographic images to identify normal and abnormal hemodynamics in the cerebrovascular, abdominal, obstetric, gynecological, arterial, and venous systems. (CSLO #2)

  2. (Application Level) Students will demonstrate the ability to apply Doppler techniques, including color flow, duplex, and triplex imaging protocols, to assess vascular conditions across multiple systems. (CSLO #4)

  3. (Evaluation Level) Students will evaluate and interpret the clinical significance of various vascular abnormalities detected through sonography, including arterial stenosis, venous insufficiency, and cerebrovascular disorders. (CSLO #2)

  4. (Synthesis Level) Students will synthesize information from vascular sonography results and medical history to contribute to the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning of vascular diseases. (CSLO #3)

  5. (Evaluation Level) Students will compare and contrast the use of Doppler imaging modalities (color flow, duplex, and triplex) to select the appropriate technique for specific vascular examinations. (CSLO #2)

  6. (Understanding Level) Students will demonstrate effective communication skills by discussing vascular sonography findings with healthcare professionals and explaining their significance in patient care. (CSLO #3)

  7. (Remembering Level) Students will identify potential errors in vascular sonography examinations and apply corrective actions to ensure high-quality, reliable results. (CSLO #4)


These MSLOs emphasize the development of critical thinking, technical proficiency, and professional communication, which are essential for sonographers specializing in vascular imaging. They also ensure that students will be able to integrate knowledge and perform at an advanced level within clinical settings.
