Description: Ultrasound terminology and physics. Anatomical variants, normal, and pathological sonographic findings in musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound of the lower extremity.

MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Utilize terminology associated with ultrasound, specifically musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound. (I) 2. Determine the differing appearance of structures that are visualized with ultrasound (tendons, muscle, nerve, etc.). (II) 3. Demonstrate basic scanning protocols for the lower extremity (i.e., hip,. Knee, ankle, foot). (III) 4. Assess normal anatomy for lower extremity scanning. (III) 5. Detect pathology in lower extremity scans.(II, III, IV)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
