Course Description
DMSVTD 640 | Introduction to Histology in Ultrasound Imaging Total: 20 Hours | E-Lecture: 6 Hours | E-Lab: 6 Hours | On Site Lab: 8 Hours This course expands students' understanding of histology by exploring its direct application to ultrasound imaging, deepening their ability to interpret sonographic appearances through the lens of tissue microstructure. By examining the intricate relationship between cellular composition and ultrasound reflections, students will refine their diagnostic skills, allowing them to differentiate normal from pathological tissue with greater precision. Hands-on case studies and imaging analysis will highlight how variations in tissue density, vascularization, and structural integrity influence sonographic interpretation. As students bridge the gap between microscopic anatomy and real-time imaging, they will gain a heightened appreciation for the body's complexity, equipping them to approach diagnostics with a more nuanced, patient-centered perspective that supports both accurate assessment and informed clinical decision-making.
