 Excellent review for ultrasound physics March 10, 2007

This book is a great investment for those preparing for the ARDMS Physics boards. It should be used along with a good physics text (such as Edelman's Understanding Ultasound Physics). Appleton and Lange's study guide provides a good REVIEW of physics; however, there is NOT enough material to study to fully prepare students to sit for the boards. The 500+ questions following the study guide provide the opportunity to APPLY knowledge. Explainations for most questions are offered in the answer section.
Good Review Book July 22, 2006
A. Kellett (Georgia USA)
I found this book a good review for the registry. There are a lot of questions at the end of the book to review the material that is covered.
A must-have book for anyone taking ultrasound boards! August 24, 2009
J. Guglielmi (Michigan)
This was actually my second purchase of this book (first was an older version, loaned out but not returned!). The new one is great, includes information on fetal echocardiography that wasn't in the old. It had loads of questions you would likely see on your registries, along with a helpful explanation in the answer key. Definitely recommend!
 REVIEW BOOK March 3, 2006
Cristi (FL - USA)
This book is fantastic.
The only problem is that the whole abdomen review is in one chapter. So, when we have a test on only kidneys I need to go one by one & find only the kidney review questions.
But on a good note, i love that they explain why the answer is "C", for ex.
That's all!

This review book was assigned to my senior ultrasound program in our last quarter of classes. A colleague of mine who is a radiologic technologist had used the A&L RT review book and found it helpful, so my expectations when it was assigned were to be able to learn and to have a good array of review questions.
However, this book seems to be a compendium of outdated information rife with typos that would be hilarious if they were not so frequent. I am finding that working through it is about a 75% waste of time. Who edited this?.... Anyone?...... Anyone?
Another problem is that images are labeled wrong, or not labeled (e.g.: "Name the structure with the arrow on example 5-113," and then there is no arrow. Or worse, the arrow clearly, unmistakably points to the aorta and the answer is IVC.).
The OB/GYN chapters are better than the physics and abdomen chapters; the latter have significant errors in them. My biggest problem is that as a whole these questions require very little critical thinking and are not "pitched" at a level commensurate with what I believe the ARDMS registries require (I will update this review after taking my registries in Mar.-April).
And now, for amusement value, some of the misprints:
"posterior urethral values"
for intussusception, "intersuppection"
"pleura effusion" --- and the list goes on.
For review I would recommend the following books:
Physics:
Physical Principles of General and Vascular Ultrasonography, Jim Baun, BA, RVT, RDMS http://www.jimbaun.com/jimbaunjan05_007.htm
Understanding Ultrasound Physics, Sidney Edelman, 2nd Edition
Abdomen:
Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound, Sanderson/Dolk/Miner
Abdomen & OB/GYN:
Clinical Guide to Ultrasound, Charlotte Hennigsen.
