Sonography Procedures

Our Sonography modules have been developed to help you learn valuable procedure-focused skills with our interactive 3-D anatomy, realistic cognitive simulator, step-by-step text with images and reference links, and video with expert commentary. This suite of procedures is designed to support students who are studying for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) registry exams including Sonography Principles & Instrumentation (SPI) and Specialties. These procedures also provide a good general introduction or refresher for all students and practitioners of sonography, and will help provide you with the confidence to work with patients.
