Course Description

This is a study of specific areas of the human body in serial sections. Designed for diagnostic medical sonography and radiologic imaging technology. Emphasis is on structures observable on diagnostic medical sonography, computerized tomography and related imaging studies. PREREQUISITE: BIOL A221; or BIOL A220 and BIOL A225. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Integrate and analyze knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy related to diagnostic medical sonography and other related imaging modalities.

Course Objectives

• 1. Identify and describe anatomy of the head in sagittal and transverse planes and with sonographic imaging.
• 2. Identify and describe anatomy of the abdominal cavity in sagittal and transverse sections and with sonographic anatomy.
• 3. Identify and describe anatomy of the pelvis in sagittal and transverse sections and with sonographic imaging.
• 4. Identify and describe the anatomy of the neck in transverse sections and with sonographic sonographic imaging.
• 5. Identify and describe anatomy of the chest in sagittal and transverse sections and with sonographic imaging.
• 6. Identify and describe veins and arteries in the extremities with a sonographic approach.
• 7. Identify and describe anatomy of the eye in sagittal and transverse planes and with sonographic imaging.

Lab Content

Labs consists of reinforcement of lecture material on cross-sectional anatomy by using models, workbooks, YouTube videos, sonographic images, and other pertinent radiologic imaging.  Primary focus is on these regions. 1. Abdomen 2. Pelvis 3. Head/Neck 4. Arterovascular anatomy 5. Chest structures 6.  Eye

Method(s) of Instruction

• Lecture (02)
• DE Live Online Lecture (02S)
• Lab (04)
• DE Live Online Lab (04S)

Instructional Techniques

Lecture with application of ideas, use of models, study groups, YouTube Video and PowerPoint.

Reading Assignments

It is recommended that students read 4 hours per week from the assigned textbook.

Writing Assignments

Students will demonstrate writing proficiency by describing cross-sectional anatomy seen during a songraphic examination in short answer format.

Out-of-class Assignments

Students will complete out-of-class assignments from the text workbook which will require 2 hours per week. It is recommended that students spend an additional 3  hours per week in the lab studying anatomy models and images in preparation for lab exams.

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Critical thinking will be demonstrated through quizzes, objective tests, demonstration of problem solving skills by participation in classroom discussions and exercises.

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

Students will demonstrate writing proficiency by describing cross-sectional anatomy observed during a sonographic examination.  Skills are demonstrated through a final examination.

Eligible Disciplines

Diagnostic medical technology-diagnostic medical sonography, neurodiagnosti...: Any bachelors degree and two years of professional experience, or any associate degree and six years of professional experience.
