Diagnostic Ultrasound
Principles and Instruments
7th Edition
Frederick W. Kremkau, PhD
Step 1: Review Text
ISBN: 0721631924
Format: Hardcover
Price: $80.95


New! Thorough, comprehensive, classic—this is the standard and “most trusted” physics reference, now in its updated and expanded 7th edition. Like the other texts, it covers the UPI exam topics, is well illustrated with more than 1000 images and conceptual drawings, and includes a glossary, key terms, and self-assessment quizzes to keep you on track. Of the three books in the Davies catalog, this one has the most illustrations and is the most current on the latest imaging technology—contrast agents, harmonic imaging, coded excitation, panoramic imaging, spatial compounding, 3D imaging, and digital image storage and communication. Also, we believe, it is the most thorough, technical, and therefore difficult of these three books. Saunders. 1,268 illustrations. 592 pp.

Mention physics to some sonographers and their expression tells you that you might as well have said “quantum mechanics” or “regression analysis.” Perhaps this describes you. Certainly, fear of physics is common among registry candidates. So is the prospect of taking the exam more than once.

For frustrated sonographers who want to put this test behind them, we join thousands of successful candidates and educators in recommending the Ultrasound Physics Mock Exam: SPI Edition by Cindy Owen, RT, RVT, RDMS.


In it Cindy frequently refers to three of our favorite physics texts, Essentials of Ultrasound Physics by James Zagzebski, Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation by Wayne Hedrick, David Hykes and Dale Starchman, and Diagnostic Ultrasound: Principles and Instruments by Frederick Kremkau. Any of them will help you tremendously, especially in combination with the Ultrasound Physics Mock Exam: SPI Edition.

How do you know which one will be best for you? Match your learning style and interests with the style, features, and level of difficulty of the book.
