Customer Rating:  
Summary: This book will only confuse you.
Comment: If you are studying for the RDMS test, don't waste your time studying using this book. If you had a good solid core understanding of ultrasound...you will find this book full of errors...it had too many errors that it was sometimes amusing and frustrating at the same time. This book will only confuse you if you are just at the starting point of your studying process. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent review for ultrasound physics
Comment: This book is a great investment for those preparing for the ARDMS Physics boards. It should be used along with a good physics text (such as Edelman's Understanding Ultasound Physics). Appleton and Lange's study guide provides a good REVIEW of physics; however, there is NOT enough material to study to fully prepare students to sit for the boards. The 500+ questions following the study guide provide the opportunity to APPLY knowledge. Explainations for most questions are offered in the answer section.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Review Book
Comment: I found this book a good review for the registry. There are a lot of questions at the end of the book to review the material that is covered.
Customer Rating:
Summary: REVIEW BOOK
Comment: This book is fantastic.
The only problem is that the whole abdomen review is in one chapter. So, when we have a test on only kidneys I need to go one by one & find only the kidney review questions.
But on a good note, i love that they explain why the answer is "C", for ex.
That's all!

Summary: Don't waste your money.
Comment: This review book was assigned to my senior ultrasound program in our last quarter of classes. A colleague of mine who is a radiologic technologist had used the A&L RT review book and found it helpful, so my expectations when it was assigned were to be able to learn and to have a good array of review questions.
However, this book seems to be a compendium of outdated information rife with typos that would be hilarious if they were not so frequent. I am finding that working through it is about a 75% waste of time. Who edited this?.... Anyone?...... Anyone?
Another problem is that images are labeled wrong, or not labeled (e.g.: "Name the structure with the arrow on example 5-113," and then there is no arrow. Or worse, the arrow clearly, unmistakably points to the aorta and the answer is IVC.).
The OB/GYN chapters are better than the physics and abdomen chapters; the latter have significant errors in them. My biggest problem is that as a whole these questions require very little critical thinking and are not "pitched" at a level commensurate with what I believe the ARDMS registries require (I will update this review after taking my registries in Mar.-April).
And now, for amusement value, some of the misprints:
"posterior urethral values"
for intussusception, "intersuppection"
"pleura effusion" --- and the list goes on.
For review I would recommend the following books:
Physics:
Physical Principles of General and Vascular Ultrasonography, Jim Baun, BA, RVT, RDMS http://www.jimbaun.com/jimbaunjan05_007.htm
Understanding Ultrasound Physics, Sidney Edelman, 2nd Edition
Abdomen:
Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound, Sanderson/Dolk/Miner
Abdomen & OB/GYN:
Clinical Guide to Ultrasound, Charlotte Hennigsen.
