It is essential that sonographers are able to differentiate normal anatomy and pathological conditions when they perform sonographic studies of the abdominal organs and superficial structures. Students will learn about pathological conditions related to abdominal organs and superficial structures. Students also learn about the relational anatomy between these structures in the human body. Superficial structures of the body include thyroid and parathyroid glands, breast, abdominal wall, prostate, scrotum and testicles. Students will have an opportunity to perform sonographic scanning techniques used to image the superficial structures, abdominal organs, and pelvic structures.
