Certain to become a primary review for registry candidates, OB/GYN Sonography: An Illustrated Review is designed to have several purposes: A topic-by-topic review for the ARDMS specialty exam in ob/gyn sonography. A concise text for those in training or cross-training. A clinical reference for practicing sonographers. A resource for interpreting physicians. A convenient and inexpensive means of earning continuing medical education (CME) credit.

First and foremost, OB/GYN Sonography: An Illustrated Review is an efficient and powerful means of preparing for the national registry examinations in obstetrical and gynecological sonography. It precisely follows and covers the ARDMS exam outline, succinctly and systematically explaining and illustrating each exam topic with easy-to-read text, illustrations, bullet lists, photographs, sonograms, color plates, case studies, and self-assessment questions. OB/GYN Sonography: An Illustrated Review is also practical, manageable, with reader-friendly text for students, cross-training sonographers, practicing sonographers, and interpreting physicians. A complete CME application and quiz at the end of the book make it possible to earn 12 hours of SDMS-approved continuing medical education credit toward satisfaction of ARDMS, ICAVL, and other requirements for professional registration and facility accreditation.

This review is from: Ob/Gyn Sonography: An Illustrated Review (Paperback)

As a sonography student, I'd been looking for an ultrasound book that is not too technical to read but gives important background to build a good foundation. I have plenty of required textbooks on my shelf, but I soon realized that their target audience is radiologists. This Ob/Gyn review fits my need. It's got to-the-point explanations and decent pictures and diagrams for illustration. No doubt, the book is a bit expensive, but it saves me lots of time. Now when I go back to read those huge text, I understand better.

I'll keep it short and brief.

If you are studying for your OB boards, this is the WORST book to use. I took my OBGYN boards and passed NOT using this book. Davies makes the worst study materials (I had their ABD/Physics reviews and hated those).

Get your hand on Elderman's OBGYN review and you'll pass. I used Elderman and Appleton and Lange's book), that should be enough.

Bottom line.. I hate this book!. I will be selling it on EBAY, go there and buy it if you want to fail.
