The following article and the many more to come in the " Cardiac Ultrasound Tutorial Series " target Echocardiographers seeking ARDMS or ASE Certification, as well as Cardiac Sonographers pursuing RDCS Registration.

This tutorial will focus first on the Physics of Ultrasound, then on the other modalities of Echocardiography.

Understanding the essence of Physics in general, and that of Ultrasound in particular is paramount to passing and hence getting certified in the field of Cardiac Ultrsound.

Most applicants find the ARDMS Examination difficult, to say the least. The main reason has to do with the "way" the majority of them came into working in the field.

"Cardiac Ultrasound Tutorial" is dedicated to helping ARDMS
candidates overcome the many "difficulties" that stand between them and success
in the field.

To this end, a step-by-step TUTORIAL will be implemented to help you retain what you will have just learned and preserve
that information till you have the entire picture under control !

No more confusion or loss of previously acquired knowledge is to be expected.

What you get from the Cardiac Ultrasound Series is clear explanation of the basic concepts in Physics that will ultimately and literally "pave" the road of learning and earning for you, hence enabling you to move on with your career and your life.
Two birds with one stone as the old adage goes !
