DMS 122 - Abdomen and Superficial Structures II
Description: Study of abdominal and superficial structural pathology with emphasis on disease mechanisms, progression patterns, clinical correlations, and interpretation skills. Analyze complex cases and examine how pathology influences treatment planning and surgical/interventional decision-making.
Prerequisites: DMS 120
Credits: 1
Lecture: 1
Lab: 0
Course Content:
- Principles of advanced interpretation
- Disease processes, complications and management
- Abdominal vasculature and hemodynamics
- Case interpretation and differential diagnosis
Learning Outcomes:
- Explain the pathophysiologic mechanisms that result in the sonographic appearance of abdominal and superficial structural disease. (1)
- Differentiate complex pathology patterns using sonographic characteristics, Doppler flow assessment, clinical signs, and laboratory correlations. (2,3)
- Recommend appropriate next steps in patient evaluation or procedural management when pathology is detected. (2)
- Critique the technical quality of sonographic examinations. (4)
