This course is the continued study of the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pathophysiology of the organs and structures of the fetus through the second and third trimester, as visualized by sonography. The didactic study topics will include the evaluation of abnormalities, fetal growth assessment, high risk obstetrics, and postpartum complications. This course is integrated with DMS 233L, a hands-on sonography scanning lab that focuses on the knowledge, skills, and techniques for acquisition of appropriate sonographic protocols and image optimization of fetal growth and development. Color and spectral Doppler applications will also be applied to the appropriate anatomy.
