Book Description

0941022692 978-0941022699 January 2004 3
For registry candidates, technologists in training, sonographers in cross-training, lab personnel, and interpreting physicians, here is the revised and expanded third edition of this very popular book. It began life as an illustrated review of everything a registry candidate needs to know to pass the Vascular Technology examination, topic by topic, in one volume. Written by nationally renowned authors, it quickly became a standard text in diagnostic ultrasound programs across the country and a practical guide for vascular lab personnel. It is now perhaps the most widely read vascular reference in print . . . So we made it better! We expanded and updated the text, added more than 40 color and gray-scale images, photo-documented physiologic exam techniques, published more case studies and angiograms, and included an integral application for continuing education credits with self-assessment quizzes, glossaries, and other new features.

Why are our study aids and educational resources so popular and effective? Because they contain the same kinds of thought-provoking questions you will find on the real exam! Approved for 12 hours of continuing medical education (CME) credit by the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS).



Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Ready to . . . SCORE? You Can!

Davies’ 1–2–3 Step Ultrasound Education & Test Preparation is a proven, systematic, step-by-step means of preparing for the registry examinations that works, not only for test preparation, but also for clinical education, cross-training, and classroom education. Here’s how . . .

Step 1—Review Texts:

CME-approved didactic texts cover and explain everything on the exam content outlines published by the ARDMS, concisely and precisely, with illustrations and references. They do such a good job that they are used in ultrasound programs throughout the country and by professionals for cross-training and continuing medical education.

Step2—Mock Examinations:

Test yourself! Our well-known, registry-like practice exams identify your strengths and weaknesses by exam topic, familiarize you with the format and style of the registry exams, and measure your progress as you study. (Now available in both book & CD-ROM versions!)

Step 3—Q&A Memory Skills Flashcard Drills:

Great confidence builders! ScoreCards allow you to reinforce the concepts and principles covered in Step 1 reviews as well as those you must know to answer the more complicated registry-style questions in the Step 2 mock exams.

Life Is A Test . . . Pass It!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best non-seminar review book for the ARDMS RVT exam!, February 5, 1999
By A Customer
I feel like this book covers all the information necessary to pass the ARDMS RVT specialty exam. It is very thorough, and well written. If you don't have several hundred dollars to go to a review seminar, and even if you do, this book is a great asset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Tool, January 16, 2002

APRIL (HUNTSVILLE, AL United States) - See all my reviews
This book is hands down the best book to study for the RVT exam. This is the only book I used to study and passed the ARDMS (RVT) on the first try. Lots of great information I didn't even know, also a great quick reference!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent contents, poor package, November 11, 2005
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vascular Technology: An Illustrated Review, Third Edition (Paperback)
This paperback, which is only available in paperback, is outstanding for both passing the registry exam and grasping virtually all you need to know as a vascular sonographer.
It is easy to read, simple but not simplistic, good continuity, accurate, and a great deal of it's contents seem to be on the registry exam very much like it appears in the book.
It should be kept in mind that it is inherently not a reference book (it is not intended to be) so if you are seeking detailed comprehensive explanations, you probably won't find it here. For that you will need a supplemental text (I prefer Zwiebel & Pellerito, Fifth Ed. for that purpose). The one big negative about "Vascular Technology" is that it has just about the WORST
binding ever. Pages literally fall out!
