Fetal Echocardiography

Catalog description

This course explores fetal echocardiography, which has become an integral part of obstetrics sonography. Sonography examinations of the in utero human heart can diagnose congenital heart disease, which may alter clinical care. The sonographer is obligated to perform a basic fetal heart survey on every fetal sonogram. This course follows the basics of fetal echocardiography, not only for the ARDMS examinations, but for the sonographer who is performing obstetrics and cardiac sonography. Pre-requisite(s): SONO 262 Sonography Physics or by permission of department chair.
