This course introduces students to the fundamental principles and clinical applications of obstetric and gynecologic sonography. Students will gain an understanding of both normal and abnormal conditions affecting the female reproductive system and the developing fetus.
The lecture component focuses on the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the uterus, ovaries, and fetal structures throughout various stages of pregnancy. Students will learn to correlate sonographic findings with clinical presentations and patient history to support accurate diagnostic interpretation.
In the laboratory component, students will develop hands-on proficiency in performing gynecologic and obstetric ultrasound examinations. Emphasis is placed on proper scanning techniques, image optimization, protocol adherence, and accurate documentation. Students will also practice obtaining biometric measurements, recognizing normal and abnormal fetal growth paterns, and preparing initial preliminary reports for review by the interpreting physician or radiologist.
By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the foundational knowledge and practical skills necessary for performing high-quality OB/GYN ultrasound examinations in a clinical setting.
