I WENT TO EDELMAN SEMINAR TO PREPARE FOR RVT EXAM. THIS BOOK CONTAINS PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING THE WORKBOOK FROM THE SEMINAR CONTAINS. EXCEPT THIS BOOK EXPLAINS THINGS A LITTLE MORE WHICH IS GREAT IF YOU HAVE LIMITED EXPERIENCE WITH VASCULAR. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK IN YOUR PREP FOR RVT EXAM. IF YOU KNOW 80% OF WHAT'S IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL PASS!! IF YOU CAN GO TO ESP SEMINAR GREAT IF NOT THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK AT LEAST, AND WORTH THE INVESTMENT.
I am registered in ABD and OB/GYN. I learned general in school and do general for a living, but decided I wanted to learn vascular and become registered in vascular as well. I bought this book along with the Davies scorecards. I used ONLY those two prodcuts to learn vascular, and passed my boards with flying colors! No need to waste money on any other materials!I would also like to address the binding everyone keeps talking about. No, it's not cheaply made. It's made that way on purpose so the book lies flat when you have it opened up to any page, so you dont have to constantly fight with a book thats trying to close on you. Because of this, the pages are a little looser than the traditional binding but for a good cause! I'd much rather have it this way!
I highly recommend that anyone trying to take the ARDMS RVT exam buys this book! It is a more elaborate version of the Edelmans book. I studied this and the Vascular Davies CD and passed on the 1st try!
I HIGHLY recommend this book if you are studying for the RVT registry. If you know it, you will pass!!!
I used this book and passed as a RVT Sep/2015. I know it is an old version, but still works and cheaper than new version. You just need to read line by line and understand what/why and you will pass. It has more refined detail than the Edelman's. Edelman's is more like a summary and if you don't know anything about vascular ultrasound, you may find Edelman's seminar review book too abstract. Use this book and Davie's Mock exam and you will pass with flying colors. I studied 2-3 months.
I have owned every single edition of this book from the 1st to the 4th and still own all of them but the first edition which I loaned to another sonographer several years ago and it was never returned. I wanted to post something about the binding of the book because many people have commented on it. I'm not sure how many people have lost pages or if they (like me) kind of "freak out!" when they take a look at the binding after receiving their book and just assume that the pages will fall out with much use. Davies Publishing has posted this information about the binding on their website which I think most people should be interested in. Perhaps the binding is perfect and it's just our perception of the binding based on a less than usual appearance that is throwing us off about the product. From Davies: "Have you ever thought about how a book's binding can help you study better? We have.Because of the tough use some books receive, the traditional "perfect" binding that is used on most soft-cover books sometimes fails. Why? Because a conventional perfect bound book does not open up and lie flat without the user pressing down on it hard enough to break the binding, in which case the pages eventually fall out.We switched to a more expensive variation of perfect binding called Otabind® or "lay flat" because of how it conveniently opens and lies flat without the reader having to force it. (We've all had this experience: Bend a paperback book backward so that it stays open and you can read the darn thing.) As this patented Otabind binding process was designed to do, it not only makes our hard-use books easier to read and study but also solves the problem of cracked spines and lost pages that often plagues perfect bound books.It is a superior, more expensive design that makes reading and studying easier and soft-cover books much more durable. If you were to open a well-bound hardback book, you would see the same thing: The cover is by design NOT attached to the fabric to which the pages are attached."Here is a link to the company that performs the special binding. They give information about the process here:[...]
Currently studying for ARDMS Vascular registry and went to ESP seminar but was so worried that I wouldn't have enough knowledge about vascular as it wasn't covered very well in my courses. Claudia and Michalene are awesome!! This book is a bit more wordy than others but it's not to the point where your like "ehhh??"Very happy with my purchase!
This review book has a lot of helpful illustrations and diagrams. Very easy to read through; also has a good index that allows you to look up key topics and pin point areas for review. Has a section of review questions at the end with answers.
