Ultrasound Physics Review

Looking for guidance and a clear understanding of the principles and facts on which you will be tested? Here is the new SPI edition of the single bestselling mock exam devoted to the ARDMS exam in ultrasound physics. Written by an internationally renowned sonographer who not only loves ultrasound physics but delights in -- and excels at -- explaining it to others, "Ultrasound Physics Review" hones your test-taking skills, measures your progress as you study, and reveals your strengths and weaknesses topic by topic. Contains 600 complex registry-style questions that cover and follow the new ARDMS Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPi) outline, 65 image-based questions, and simple, clear explanations with current references for further study. Coverage includes patient care, safety, and communication, physical principles, ultrasound transducers, pulse-echo instrumentation, Doppler instrumentation and hemodynamics, and quality assurance/quality control of equipment -- all in the same proportion as in the exam itself. -- From publisher's description.
