Echo/Vascular
80 Clock Hours 16 Weeks

Please note: Following classes are offered only on Saturday’s and to individuals having previously completed a Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program.

Program Description:

This curriculum is designed students advanced on going education in other modalities of ultrasound. This will allow students to become more marketable in the ultrasound field. Students will learn the basic knowledge needed to work as an echo and/or vascular technician.

EV 110 – Cardiovascular Anatomy & Physiology
This course is designed to provide an in-depth study of cardiovascular anatomy & physiology including circulatory hemo-dynamics, cardiac output, stroke volume, and control mechanisms.

EV 111 – Vascular Anatomy & Physiology
General coverage of peripheral vascular including: arterial and venous evaluation of upper and lower extremities, and abdominal vascular studies, interpretation, cardiovascular studies include 2-D and Doppler analysis.

EV 112 – Physics
This course will continue the concepts of cardiovascular and vascular hemo-dynamics, and instrumentation including 2-D, 3-D, Doppler, Spectral analysis, and other related topics to help students complete their knowledge of ultrasound physics.

EV 113 – EKG
Basic knowledge of medical terminology students are introduced to related to EKG,
cardiovascular system, infection control, operation of the EKG machine, interpret and
analyze EKG strips, and theory and EKG applications of dysarrhythmia and myocardial
infraction.

EV 114 – Pathology
Comparison of normal sonographic patterns with pathology appearance. Review of right and left functions including ventricular, atrial, and valvular, abnormalities, assessment of coronary anatomy, as well as vascular diseases including stenosis and deep vein thrombosis.

EV 115 – Hands on Echo Training
The students will practice hands on scanning techniques in both cardiac and vascular aspects.
