Enhance your imaging skills with the latest sonographic technologies and prepare for the ARDMS SPI certification exam! Kremkau's Sonography Principles and Instruments, 11th 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, Kremkau's succeeds where other texts do not. With the right blend of imaging fundamentals, current techniques, and exam practice questions, this book is ideal for both students and experienced practitioners.
- Emphasis on the fundamentals of physics and sonography prepares you for the ARDMS SPI (Sonography Principles & Instrumentation) certification exam.
- More than 1,300 images provide an accurate representation of what you will encounter in the clinical setting.
- Coverage of current technology includes the progress made with contrast agents and 3-D, along with the more general aspects of transducers and instruments.
- Straightforward explanations simplify complicated concepts.
- Learning features in each chapter include learning objectives, key terms, key points, a bulleted review, and end-of-chapter exercises, along with a glossary at the end of the book.
- Appendices offer convenient access to a list of symbols and equations, plus a mathematics review.
- Resources on the companion Evolve companion website enhance learning with videos, a physics review, and an image collection.
