Diagnostic Medical Sonography

This course offers an in-depth review of obstetric and gynecologic sonography, with a focus on preparing students for the ARDMS registry exam. Students will study the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system and the stages of pregnancy, including fetal development, placental function, and maternal health. The course covers normal and abnormal findings, pathologies, imaging techniques, and protocols for both obstetric and gynecological examinations. Topics such as prenatal screening, sonographic evaluation of the uterus, ovaries, and adnexa, as well as fetal growth, abnormalities, and multiple gestations, are explored. Emphasis is placed on patient care, bioeffects, and emerging technologies in OB/GYN sonography. Real-world case studies and clinical scenarios will be used to reinforce theoretical concepts, ensuring students are well-equipped for both the registry examination and clinical practice.
