I just passed the ARDMS abdomen registry and used this book to review. I really liked the layout of the book, it has defintions at the beginning of each chapter which I thought were a very helpful review. It also did a good job of outlining clinical and sonographic findings associated with pathology. Overall this book highlighted the main topics that were on my exam. I also used my class powerpoint notes and old tests to study. Every person's test is different but I thought my particular test was much easier than the SPI and I finished in 1.5 hours with 1.5 hours to spare (and that was looking over every answer before submitting). My test was MOSTLY liver, abdominal vasculature, kidney, and testicular images/questions. Several gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreas questions. Very few spleen, adrenal, prostate, physics, thyroid, and parathyroid questions/images. Only 3 GI questions (Appendicitis image, pyloric stenosis image, and intusseception question. 1 abdominal wall identification image (of rectus abdominis). No MSK. Know the labs associated with the pathologies (i.e. ALT, AST, ALK Phos, Bilirubin, Alpha-fetaprotein, Lipase, BUN, Creatine, etc.). I had several landmark questions (main lobar fissure, ligamentum venosum, ligamentum teres, etc.). I had NO normal measurment questions on my exam. I thought the images I had on my exam were very easy to interpret. I had heard the image quality was poor so I was worried about that but the images I had were very straightfoward. I studied for 2 weeks and passed with 655. Good luck!
This book was very helpful in studying for the Abdomen Registry! It puts everything into short concise easy to understand sections. It has helpful charts at the end of each section which help you highlight the important information. If you want just ONE book to study from I would probably recommend this over Edelman cards because it goes more into depth and gives you a little background on each organ and topic, highlights and defines medical terms etc. However, I am not sure if using this book alone would be enough to pass. Although this book was extremely helpful and I would definitely recommend it (I passed my registry on the first try), I did not solely use this book. I also used Edelman's cards, Appleton and Lange questions (only) and looked at images from school. Although i did rely on this book heavily and it did it definitely helped me pass, after having taken the registry I see i could have been a little more prepared. I would definitely recommend this book if it was the only thing you were studying from because it summarizes everything very clearly so you do not need to go back and re-read all your notes and everything that you did in school. But in my opinion, if you want to be extra ready for the registry then you need to add another source besides this book. Overall definitely a THE GO-TO BOOK in order to pass, a good summary and a must to study for the registry!
Great book! The easily understandable descriptions of both normal and abnormal anatomy along with helpful charts, study questions, and ultrasound images makes this book a great way to review and prepare for both the Abd and OB/GYN ultrasound registry exams.
I was highly impressed with the layout of this review book. I like the way there are charts in each chapter that provide a summary of the key points. The review questions, at the end of each chapter, provide real world scenarios in which we may come across as a Sonographer. In addition, it comes with online access so that you can take mock registry exams; which is great practice for students.
I just completed my Abd/ OB/ Gyn exams and used this book solely for my preparation. It has great charts for lab values, pathology findings, sonographic findings, definitions at the beginning of each chapter as well as a chapter review.One of the most helpful parts of purchasing this book is the access you receive to the online testing question bank. You will receive a scratch off code inside the front cover and have access to the testing material for 2 years!! These questions are different from the ones inside the book to give you extra preparation for the actual test. It has all sections of the registry to include protocols, physics, positioning, patient care, pathology, and anatomy.If you are looking for a to the point review book this is for you! No extra information to add to the confusion. All around useful tool!
Thank you Steven M. Penny for this amazing book! It was really easy to understand! To anyone who is interested in this book for the Abdomen specialty, GET THIS BOOK! I highly recommend it. But don't let it be the ONLY source you use. I also had used the videos of Pegasus Lectures, and also PAY ATTENTION on your internships!!! There are questions on the exam that you can almost only learn on the field. Use common sense to answer them. The guy giving the lecture (on Pegasus) gives a lot of important details that I also saw on my exam. If there is one thing I can recommend is to GO OVER PATHOLOGY PICTURES!!!! This book has a lot of pictures but not all of them. Google them or find them somehow. CLINICAL FINDINGS are also very very VERY important for you to know to figure out the answer. I'm going to start studying for the OB/GYN exam so I will come back to give a review on it after I take it (and hopefully pass)! Oh and one more thing, this book has an interactive question practice test thing online. Get used to practicing questions and getting to know how the questions on the test are asked. GOOD LUCK!!!
