Good review book for ARDMS, but not so much for Peds... by J. Paiz (Corpus Christi, TX)

Mostly concentrated in the Adult aspect of Echo. Good book, but I was looking for something with Peds for the ARDMS registry. It has some Peds review questions, but not much. These few were "word for word" questions straight out of the Peds test and it looks like a good review for the Adult. Any book with question/answers is worth its weight in gold for these tests.

Excellent book by Tharuthalai (florida, USA)

A very good book for rapid review of echo essentials. Packs in a lot of information without being too wordy and helps us make optimal use of limited time available prior to the boards.

I took and passed the ARDMS RDCS exam today! This book had a lot of the same questions (slightly different wording) that I had on my registry exam.

this book has too many repeating questions,some of the 2d and doppler images been used more than once! overall i learn additional knowledge but as an established publisher should not allow this from happening. this spoil the reputation. some of the questions are too simple,authors should spend time in setting good quality questions,rather using the name of board exam to make money!
