Section III.....Basic Physics of Sound Waves / Physiology & Safety.
Section IV....Proper Palpation & Mental Imaging (Standards of Care)
Lab session:Wooden machine models employed:
Section V Book of Kings &Pathological Kings Patterns (The vertebral ideal image is an outline of the periosteum for anatomic orientation, this resembles a King's Piece in the game of chess - technical operators must know what is a good image anatomically:)
Section VI Special Scanning: ( use of jelly lenses, deep Gel techniques, clean wipes, FDA approved types, -do not try to make your own:)
Lab session: Actual scanning demonstrated for major spine regions, followed by brief lab and practical session for special scanning and contact problems:
Section VII Lower body Extremities Scanning: (Hips {special techniques, general lower extremities:}See CD Rom available too
