Prepare your students for the ARDMS SPI certification exam and build their imaging skills! Sonography: Principles and Instruments, 10th Edition, explains how diagnostic ultrasound works and covers the essentials of ultrasound physics and instrumentation, including Doppler imaging, artifacts, safety, and quality assurance. More than 1,300 illustrations include ultrasound scans, helping to demonstrate imaging anatomy, motion, and flow. In simplifying complicated concepts, Dr. Kremkau succeeds where other texts do not. With the right blend of imaging fundamentals, current techniques, and exam practice questions, this reference is ideal for sonography students and professionals.
NEW! Introduction of the new paradigm for understanding and applying sonographic principles explains how virtual beam-forming and high-speed postprocessing can be used to improve nearly every aspect of sonographic imaging.
NEW! UPDATED content reflects questions on the latest American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) SPI certification exam.
NEW and EXPANDED coverage describes techniques including elastography, shear wave imaging, acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI), miniaturization and POCUS, and vector imaging in cardiac and vascular flow studies.
NEW! The latest patient safety guidelines are included.
Softcover format makes the book easier to carry around and facilitates note taking.
Emphasis on the fundamentals of physics and sonography prepares students for the ARDMS SPI (Sonography Principles & Instrumentation) certification exam.
Coverage of current technology includes the progress made with contrast agents and 3D, along with the more general aspects of transducers and instruments.
Over 120 ultrasound scans with a full-color design represent what students will encounter in the clinical setting.
Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter give students a measurable outcome to achieve.
