Course Description
DMSVTD 580 | Introduction to Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Pediatrics & Infants Total: 20 Hours | E-Lecture: 8 Hours | E-Lab: 8 Hours | On Site Lab: 4 Hours This course introduces musculoskeletal ultrasound in pediatric and infant populations, emphasizing developmental anatomy and the sonographic appearance of common conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip and pediatric soft tissue abnormalities. Students explore how growth and tissue composition influence imaging findings through lecture and case-based learning. Online lab activities focus on image analysis and recognition of normal and abnormal presentations. On-site lab sessions provide hands-on ultrasound experience using general and vascular scanning applications, supporting the development of fundamental scanning techniques while reinforcing pediatric musculoskeletal concepts.
