DMSVTD 660 | Introduction to Hematology with Ultrasound

DMSVTD 660 | Introduction to Hematology with Ultrasound Total: 20 Hours | E-Lecture: 6 Hours | E-Lab: 6 Hours | On Site Lab: 8 Hours This course explores the essential role of hematology in diagnostic imaging, bridging laboratory analysis with ultrasound assessment to better understand circulatory health and hematologic disorders. Students will examine how blood composition, clotting pathways, and vascular dynamics influence both systemic health and disease development. A hands-on lab component reinforces critical clinical skills, including phlebotomy, IV access, infusion techniques, and blood type analysis. Students will gain experience in venipuncture, safe fluid administration, and basic hematologic testing, applying these findings to real-world imaging contexts. Through the integration of hematologic data with ultrasound imaging, students will learn to detect imbalances in blood flow, guide diagnostic decisions, and contribute to patient-centered care. This course emphasizes that every assessment, whether from blood or imaging, can inform a broader strategy for restoring balance and optimizing circulatory wellness.
