Ultrasound Physics Made Easy


Book Description

The Physics is boring. Similarly, the Ultrasound Physics... However, to become a Sonographer, you need to know it and understand it. Yeah, and do not forget about this notorious SPI (Sonography Principles & Instrumentation) ARDMS board exam. You MUST pass it successfully in order to become a registered Sonographer, as well as Vascular Technologist. That is why I'm going to try to make this scary subject more manageable, easier to understand, and easier to learn. There will be a lot of work on your part: You will have quizzes.You will need to memorize formulas, definitions, and logical chains of principles.You will need to do some homework.However, at the end of the day, I can give you a promise: you will not be scared of Ultrasound Physics, and you will be ready to move on to taking the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) SPI Exam and you will understand the magic of creating the Diagnostic Ultrasound images.At the end of the day - you save people's lives.

Ultrasound Physics Review


Book Description

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.




Basic Physics of Ultrasonographic Imaging


Book Description

The present volume on basic physics of ultrasonographic imaging procedures provides clear and concise information on the physics behind ultrasound examinations in diagnostic imaging. It attempts to present the subject from a simple approach that should make it possible for the target groups to comprehend the important concepts which form the physical basis of ultrasonic imaging. The main target group of this manual is radiological technologists and radiographers working with diagnostic ultrasound in developing countries. Clinicians and nurse practitioners may also find the simple presentation appealing. A conscious effort has been made to avoid detailed mathematical treatment of the subject. The emphasis is on simplicity.




Understanding Ultrasound Physics


Book Description




Diagnostic Ultrasound


Book Description

This second edition of Diagnostic Ultrasound: Physics and Equipment provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics, technology and safety of ultrasound equipment, with high quality ultrasound images and diagrams throughout. It covers all aspects of the field at a level intended to meet the requirements of UK sonography courses. New to this edition: • Updated descriptions of ultrasound technology, quality assurance and safety. • Additional chapters dedicated to 3D ultrasound, contrast agents and elastography. • New glossary containing definitions of over 500 terms. The editors and contributing authors are all authorities in their areas, with contributions to the scientific and professional development of ultrasound at national and international level.




Essentials of Ultrasound Physics


Book Description

Intended for those interested in ultrasound physics, this text works as a primer for the Registry exam. Topics covered include: broadband transducers, modern beam formers, dynamic frequency filtering, intraluminal transducers, colour flow imaging methodology, bioeffects and acoustic output labelling standards.




Ultrasound Teaching Manual


Book Description

This workbook offers structured, course-like learning, and just like an instructor in an ultrasound course, it guides you systematically through the individual organ systems. The accompanying videos demonstrate basic anatomy for ultrasound, optimum transducer positioning, and the interaction between transducer position and monitor display, allowing you to experience the learning points in real time for a deeper, visual understanding. Highlights of the third edition: Multiple-exposure photos demonstrate the dynamics of handling the transducer Triple-image sets clearly show transducer positioning, the ultrasound image, and an anatomic diagram of the site Numbered structures on the anatomic diagrams help you learn new information and test your retention at any time. The legend on the back-cover flap folds out for quick reference. Each structure is referred to by the same number throughout the book Numerous quiz images at the end of each chapter give you an opportunity to test your knowledge Physical principles are explained concisely with clear, accessible diagrams Various tips and tricks make it easier for beginners to get started Ultrasound Teaching Manual is the perfect introduction to diagnostic ultrasound if you are taking an ultrasound course and would like to prepare yourself systematically for this course or consolidate what you have learned are a physician or student who wants to become familiar with diagnostic ultrasound in independent study; or are a resident in internal medicine, radiology, surgery, gynecology, anesthesiology, or pediatrics who wants to solidify your ultrasound experience.
