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were to be able to learn and to have a good array of review questions.However, this book seems to be a compendium of outdated information rife with typos that would be hilarious if they were not so frequent.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 [...]Understanding Ultrasound Physics, Sidney Edelman, 2nd EditionAbdomen:Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound, Sanderson/Dolk/MinerAbdomen & OB/GYN:Clinical Guide to Ultrasound, Charlotte Hennigsen.
If you are studying for the RDMS test, don't waste your time studying using this book. If you had a good solid core understanding of ultrasound...you will find this book full of errors...it had too many errors that it was sometimes amusing and frustrating at the same time. This book will only confuse you if you are just at the starting point of your studying process. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED.
Essential and great aid in my studying, I know I would not have done as well as I did without it, I know that they have a newer version out now but this one is essentially the same thing... if you have to buy it or are just studying for your boards this one with work just as well
This review book really helped me in school and taking the registries. I have taken ARRT(S), ARDMS SPI, AB, and RVT in which I was able to pass all the first time. Word of caution though some of the answers are incorrect. But all in all its a pretty good review for Sonography.
You get what you pay for considering this was 1/2 the price of some of the other better review books. There were multiple errors throughout the entire book. I won't go into them as most all have been cited in other reviews.
The book was very useful and loaded with practice questions. If you use this book in conjunction with other references (text books, CD ROM) & you really study it hard, I think you should be able to pass the registry-I did.
i have used this book over the last ten years with an Edleman review book to pass the ARDMS Registries. You must have another source inconjuction with A&L. However, no other book I have come across gives you so many Q&A. I have passed my physics, ob/gyn and abdominal ARDMS tests using this book and Edelman. I am currently studying for the Vascular exam...again no other book gives you so many questions as well as explanations for each answer. Yes there are obvious typo errors,but don't let that dissuade you from this very valuable learning tool. Couldn't have passed without it. My technique is to read Edelman first then when I have a good understanding I go to A&L read, do questions until i can answer 90% correctly which is not so bad because of the answer explanations), then I am ready for ardms. It has worked everytime. There are hundreds of questions in the A&L for each section. ARDMS only has like 150 question (give or take). You do the math how can you fail?
This is a good review book although some of the images you cant see the arrow.(not a lot) You need to study other books and just use this for mock exam. I think ,it helped me pass the registry.So many questions to practice,So glad i passed the exam.
