Ultrasonography of the Abdomen & Small Parts - Part 1

Ultrasonography of the Abdomen & Small Parts - Part 1 is organized by The Burwin Institute of Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound.

Description:
This course is organized as a two-part course - Part 1 and Part 2. Together, the two courses provide comprehensive coverage of the registry Abdomen test content outline. Pertinent gross anatomy, sectional anatomy, physiology, pathology and pathophysiology are presented in addition to the sonographic appearances of normal and abnormal structures. Each part has approximately 200 (total over 400) ultrasound images. No other textbook is required.

The assignments include over 400 Registry type examination questions. The two final examinations provide excellent opportunities to write Registry type examinations under exam room conditions.
