DMS234L

The Physics & Instrumentation Laboratory provides hands-on experience to complement the advanced sonographic principles and instrumentation discussed in the lecture course. In this lab, students will explore key topics such as artifacts, bioeffects, quality control, hemodynamics, Doppler imaging, and contemporary trends in ultrasound technology. Through practical exercises, students will gain proficiency in using ultrasound equipment, identifying and troubleshooting artifacts, and performing quality control procedures to ensure optimal image quality and patient safety. The lab also covers Doppler techniques for assessing hemodynamics, and students will become familiar with the latest advancements in equipment features and their clinical benefits. Additionally, the lab will help students prepare for the ARDMS examination by reinforcing the theoretical concepts with practical applications in a supervised setting. Prerequisites: DMS130; DMS130L. Corequisite: DMS234.
