Diagnostic Medical Imaging Program

The Curriculum

fetal sonogram

The two-year upper-division curriculum integrates instruction in basic science (including gross and sectional anatomy), medical science, and sonography.

The result is a comprehensive basis in ultrasound theory applicable to practical experiences at ultrasound laboratories throughout the New York metropolitan area. Sonographic specialty training includes work in:

  • Obstetrics-Gynecology
  • Abdomen (liver, spleen, kidney, etc.)
  • Echocardiography (heart ultrasound)
  • Small parts (breast, scrotum, thyroid, and musculoskeletal)

Our curriculum also includes course work in pediatric echocardiography and vascular ultrasound.
