Ultrasound Education & Test Preparation
A proven, systematic, step-by-step means of preparing for the registry exams that works, not just for test preparation, but also for
clinical education, cross-training, and classroom education. Here's how . . .
Step 1—Review texts
CME-approved didactic texts cover and explain everything on the exam content outlines published by the ARDMS, concisely and precisely, with illustrations and references. They do such a good job that they are used in ultrasound programs throughout the country
and by professionals for cross-training and continuing medical education.
Step 2—Mock examinations
Test yourself! Our well-known, registry-like practice exams identify your strengths and weaknesses by exam topic, familiarize you
with the format and style of the registry exams, and measure your progress as you study.
Step 3—Q&A memory skills flashcard drills
Great confidence-builders. Reinforce the concepts and principles covered in the Step 1 reviews as well as those you must know to
answer the more complicated registry-style questions in the Step 2 mock exams.

Exam: OB/GYN
Step 1: Review text
CME credit: 12 hours
Just published, this new book
serves several purposes with style
and economy:
! A topic-by-topic review for the
ARDMS exam in ob/gyn sonography.
! A concise text for training and cross-training.
! A clinical reference for practicing sonographers.
! A resource for interpreting physicians.
! A convenient and inexpensive way to earn CME credit.*
First and foremost, this reader-friendly book is the single most efficient
and powerful means of preparing for the national registry examination in
obstetrical and gynecological sonography. It precisely covers the current
ARDMS exam outline, focusing your attention on what really counts and
explaining exactly what you need to know to pass the exam—topic by
topic, in one concise volume, silver-bullet style, with easy-to-read text,
great illustrations, bullet lists, references, photographs, sonograms, color
plates, image-based exercises, illustrated case studies, detailed index, and
self-assessment questions.
Ob/Gyn Sonography: An Illustrated Review is also a practical text and
reference for students, cross-training sonographers, practicing sonographers, and interpreting physicians. A complete CME application and quiz
at the end of the book make it possible to earn 12 hours of SDMSapproved continuing medical education credit toward satisfaction of
ARDMS, ICAVL, and other requirements for professional registration and
facility accreditation.

Charlotte Henningsen, MS, RT, RDMS,
RVT with 28 expert contributors
New and unique, this very well-illustrated
book by Charlotte Henningsen and 28
contributing experts explains ultrasound
as it is practiced—by clinical scenario,
including presenting complaints, patient
symptoms, rule-out orders, and the like.
Rather than chapters on organ systems,
here ultrasound is presented as it is practiced in real life by real sonographers
dealing with real problems: right upper
quadrant pain, lost IUD, hematuria, breast mass, neck mass, uncertain last
menstrual period, bleeding with pregnancy, pulsatile abdominal mass, epigastric pain, R/O renal failure, pediatric mass, etc.
The book is divided into four main parts—Abdomen, Gynecology, Obstetrics,
and Superficial Structures—and covers them thoroughly. Substantial chapters
on breast ultrasound and neonatal neurosonography will please registry
candidates, students, and practitioners alike. So will the last section on miscellaneous clinical situations and conditions, including carotid artery disease, hip dysplasia, and leg pain.
Each chapter begins, proceeds, and concludes in the same clinically
relevant format:
! Clinical scenario
! Objectives
! Glossary of terms
! Pathological conditions
! Sonographic findings
! Case studies for discussion
! Study questions
! References and Bibliography
Reader-friendly tables and boxed information highlight key concepts and
information, and a wealth of images and schematic illustrations clarify sonographic anatomy and findings.
We like this book. It develops and promotes critical thinking when and
where it counts. At the same time it is a well-formatted quick reference for
departments, a clinically oriented textbook for students heading out
to clinical sites, and a valuable adjunct to registry prep—specifically
with regard to the applied-knowledge questions that typify the
ARDMS exams. It’s also a very nice complement to our mock exams
(page 17) and registry reviews (pages 9 and 11). Ultrasound educators: Call for information about the image collection available on CDROM. Mosby. Softcover. 1100+ illustrations, 36 color plates, 550 pp,

“I’m a true believer! Your

SIX REASONS TO CHOOSE DAVIES . . .
“The review seminar I
took just confused me. It
was too much, too fast. It
didn’t help me pass. You
did.”—George Patages,
RDCS
Whether you’re in a last-minute rush or planning in advance, nothing beats
the convenience—and economy!—of stay-at-home or do-at-work continuing
medical education and registry preparation. Some customers even have us
send CME and test-prep materials to them at vacation resorts. Go figure.
The point is, you control your CME, it doesn’t control you. You learn more
that way, too. It’s hard to stay awake, let alone retain information, during
the fourth hour of a two-day seminar after flying the red-eye to a town
where you’re staying in—and paying for—a hotel somebody else picked.
Three days later you have a cheap syllabus and an early call for work.
Davies has a better way.
“Your material is so
good—simple and to the
point, just what I needed.
In five weeks I took five
exams and passed them
all. I got a job right away.
I feel just great.”—Yong
Ming Xian, RVT, RDMS
“I am an RDMS thanks to
you. Your reviews and
study aids are very
focused and specific. The
six-week review course I
took was no help. It was
more expensive, more
difficult, and less helpful.
Your reviews are perfect.
Thanks!”—Victor Galvan,
RDMS

Convenience
Cost
A seminar typically costs from $250 to $650 in registration fees plus airfare,
hotel, meals, and ground transportation expense. (We’ll leave the math to
you.) Compare the expense (and inconvenience) of a seminar to that of
the reasonably priced Davies products. A no-brainer, right? 1
3
CME on demand
The Davies CME products and activities can be used for CME credit any
time, even years from now. If you need registry-prep material now but CME
credit later, you can purchase and use our state-of-the-art test-prep products now and apply for CME credit later, when you need it. And—this is
important—we do NOT make you pay in advance for processing your CME
application. Don’t be deceived by competing claims that CME costs are
included in the price of a product. You are simply prepaying for a service
that you have not yet received. This isn’t fair to you or to customers who
never will apply for CME credit.

REGISTRY 101—TAKING AND PASSING YOUR EXAMS
Preparing for your exam . . .
Study. And then study some more. Knowing your stuff is the most important factor in your success. Start early, set a regular study schedule, and
stick to it. Make your schedule specific so you know exactly what to study
on a particular day. Write it down. Establish realistic goals so that you don’t
build a mountain you can’t climb.
As to what you study, don’t just read aimlessly. Focus your efforts on what
you need to know. Rely on a core group of dependable references, referring to others as necessary to firm up your understanding of specific topics.
Let the ARDMS exam outlines guide you. And use different but complementary study methods—texts, flashcards, and mock exams—to exercise
those neural pathways.
Ease down on studying the week before. Wind down, reduce stress,
build confidence, and rest up. Don’t cram! And no studying the night
before. You had your chance. Watch a movie, relax, go to bed early, and
sleep well.

Ultrasound Education & Test Preparation
FYI
Why CME credit is important . . .
To take your registry exams, you need 12 clock hours of continuing medical education in your subject area. It is a prerequisite. And it’s only the
beginning.
Once registered, you must continue to develop and update your clinical
skills and knowledge through continuing medical education (CME) activities. That is a good thing. It’s a good thing for you, it’s a good thing for
your patients, and it’s a good thing for your employer. It also ensures the
value of your registry credential.
If you don’t fulfill your CME requirements, however, you will lose your
active registry status and be forced to reapply for your exams, pay the current fees, and pass your physics and specialty examinations, all over again.
That would not be a good thing.
All ARDMS Registrants are required to complete at least 30 credit hours of
ARDMS-approved continuing medical education (CME) within a three-year
period in order to maintain Active status. The three-year CME period is
based on the calendar year (January 1 though December 31). For
instance, a Registrant must earn at least 30 CMEs between January 1,
2006 and December 31, 2008–a three-year CME period that consists of
the years 2006, 2007, and 2008. The next three-year CME period would
be 2009, 2010, 2011. The next three-year CME period after that would be
2012, 2013, 2014. And so on.
To help you earn and maintain your registry status, Davies offers a broad
range of SDMS-approved CME activities in a variety of formats—books,
videos, CD-ROMs, and flashcards. It used to be that you had to attend
expensive meetings in inconvenient locations to earn CME credits. Now
you can earn them by studying exactly what you want, when you want, in
the format you want, at a price that is way more than reasonable.
“You saved my life. Now that I’ve met my CME requirements I can calm down. My husband will be so happy. And your books are just great. They helped me pass my exams.”
—Jean Wilson, RDMS
“Davies Publishing really went the extra mile to help me complete my CME on time.”

advise, counsel, and
assist you with special
needs and requests. It
will be processed within one business day.
Application fees help

original purchaser and
$49.50 for all other
users. Lose your certificate? Need rush service? Just call us! See
page 20 for more information.
Organize your things the night before. Lay out comfortable clothes (including a sweater in case the testing center is cold), pencils, your ARDMS testadmission papers, car and house keys, glasses, prescriptions, directions to the
test center, and any other personal items you might need. Be prepared!
The day of your exam . . .
Eat lightly. You do not want to fall asleep during the exam. Go easy on the
coffee or tea so your bladder doesn’t distract you halfway through the exam.
Arrive early. Plan to arrive at the test center early, especially if you haven’t
been there before. Take directions, including the telephone number of the
testing center in case you have to make contact en route. You don’t need a
wrong-offramp adventure.
Be confident. As you wait for the exam to begin, smile, lift both hands, wave
them toward yourself, and say, "Bring it on."
Taking the exam . . .
Read each question twice before answering. Guess how easy it is to get
one word wrong and misunderstand the whole question.
Try to answer the question before looking at the choices. Formulating an
answer before peeking at the possibilities minimizes the distractibility of the
incorrect answer choices, which in the test-making business are called—guess
what!—distractors.
Knock off the easy ones first. First answer the questions you feel good
about. Then go back for the more difficult items. Next, attack the really tough
ones. Taking notes on long or tricky questions often can jog your memory or
put the question in new light. For questions you just cannot answer with certainty, eliminate the obviously wrong answer choices and then guess.
Guessing. Passing the exam depends on the number of correct answers you
make. Because unanswered questions are counted as incorrect, it makes
sense to guess when all else fails. The ARDMS advises that "it is to the candidate’s advantage to answer all possible questions." Guessing alone improves
your chances of scoring a point from 0 (for an unanswered question) to 20%
(for randomly picking one of five possible answers). Eliminating answer choices you know or suspect are wrong further improves your odds of success. By
using your knowledge to eliminate three of the five answer choices before
guessing, for example, you increase your odds of scoring a point to 50%.
Don’t second-guess. The common wisdom is that your first answer is more
likely than revised answers to be correct. Actual studies indicate that when
you return to a question and change the answer, you’ll probably be wrong.
Change an answer only if you’re quite sure you should.
Pace yourself; watch the time. Work methodically and quickly to answer
those you know, and make your best guesses at the gnarly ones. Leave no
question unanswered.
Don’t despair 50 minutes into the exam. At some point you may feel that
things just aren’t going well. Take 10 seconds to breathe deeply—in for a
count of five, out for a count of five. Relax. Recall that you need only about
three out of four correct answers to pass. If you’ve prepared reasonably well, a
passing score is attainable even if you feel sweat running down your back.

Many folks get the opportunity to take the Ultrasound
Physics and Instrumentation
(UPI) exam more than once.
Mention physics to some
sonographers and their
expression tells you that you
might as well have said
"quantum mechanics" or
"regression analysis."
Perhaps this describes you.
Certainly, fear of physics is
common among registry
candidates. So is taking the
exam more than once.
Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation,
4th Edition, by Wayne R. Hedrick, PhD,
David L. Hykes, PhD, and Dale E.
Starchman, PhD New edition! Like
Zagzebski’s Essentials, this fine book is very
well-written and easy to understand, but its
coverage of UPI topics is broader and more
complex. If you want a very thorough text and
have neither a fear of physics nor a love of
highly technical language, this may be your
best choice. Adequately illustrated and well

Like the other texts, it covers the UPI
exam topics, is well illustrated with more
than 1000 images and conceptual drawings, and includes a glossary, key terms,
and self-assessment quizzes to keep you
on track. Of the three books, this one has
the most illustrations and is the most current on the latest imaging technology—contrast agents, harmonic imaging, coded excitation, panoramic imaging, spatial compounding, 3D imaging, and digital image storage and communication. Also, we believe, it is the most thorough, technical, and therefore (for some) difficult of these three books. Saunders. Hardback. 592 pp.

For 25 years Davies Publishing Inc. has been
the leading publisher and purveyor of registry
reviews, study aids, and CME solutions for
ultrasound professionals. Our history is full of
firsts that demonstrate the scope and depth of
our commitment to the ultrasound community. We developed and published the first mock
registry exams. Like you, we specialize in
ultrasound. It’s our life. And we’re here to
share it with you. Call us any time.
“These CDs are awesome because they show me which exam topics I'm prepared for and
which I need to work on, automatically. And then I can use them to study those topics. I've
used all of the products out there, and Davies is the only one who connects the dots. Anyone
who doesn't use these is crazy.”—Laurie Hokanson
“I needed hardcore questions that were close to the exam—and that's what the Davies CD
delivered. I nailed it!”—Wendy Okray, RDMS
“I passed the abdomen exam. It was so easy after studying with Davies CD-ROM Mock
Exam!”—Hermilio Arica, RDMS
“The questions in these mock exams are all basically the same as those on the registry exams,
just worded differently. They’re great! I passed Ultrasound Physics and Vascular Technology.”—
