From the Author:

Thanks for your interest in Examination Review for Ultrasound: Abdomen & Obstetrics and Gynecology. Though it contains information that may be used by educators in the classroom, students, sonographers, or interpreting physicians, the primary goal of this book is to provide individuals a tool to effectively prepare for the certification examinations offered by the ARDMS and ARRT in the specialities of Abdomen & Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN).

In the front of each chapter you will find helpful terms with definitions. Throughout the chapters there are beneficial tables that contain both clinical and sonographic findings. This format allows for a quick, and yet thorough review. The narrative is easy to read and only contains the most vital facts about the topics. Unlike many review books, it contains valuable diagrams and sonographic images as well. The book has review questions within it, and the online component consists of over 800 intense mock-registry questions with rationales, an image bank, and PowerPoint presentations for instructors.

As a sonographer, I greatly value the goals you have set for yourself. I hope that, even if you do not choose to use this book, you achieve them.
