Course Description: | Offers a systematic study of the gastrointestinal tract, pediatric abdomen, neonatal brain, and transplanted organs. The student will review the necessary sterile technique preceding invasive and intraoperative procedures and will learn the applications of contrast agents in ultrasound. Other imaging techniques will be discussed as well as the principles guiding the field of sonography. A mock registry examination will be administered to prepare the student for writing the national registry examination. |
