Diagnostic Medical Sonographers may be expected to scan peripheral venous and carotid artery studies. In this course, students learn concepts relating to the peripheral venous system including physiology, normal and pathological presentations, and the diagnostic studies used to evaluate this system. Students will also review and perform a duplex scan of a carotid artery in preparation for clinical. Active participation in laboratory settings reinforces theoretical knowledge and scanning techniques. Students will be required to perform basic assessments of these vessels.
