Are you studying for your ultrasound registry? If so, what tools are you using to help you prepare?
There are many resources available to help sonographers like you prepare for your registry exams. There are audio CD's, books, and testing sites like ours here are All About Ultrasound. Everyone learns differently and usually the best method of studying is one that combines and involves all of the senses. The more of your senses (touch, hearing, speaking) you involve in your study habits, the more you will remember when it comes to test time. Ultimately, while studying for your registry can be overwhelming, just remember that it is just a test. Study hard, do your best and you will have success! For cardiovascular sonographers, you have a choice between attempting the ARDMS registry echocardiography and vascular ultrasound registries or taking the registries through CCI. Technically both are considered satisfactory for CMS/Medicare purposes and for ultrasound & echocardiography accreditation purposes. What is your preference and why? Have you found that employers prefer one registry organization over another? We are preparing a salary survey for ultrasonographers to tell us which credential pays more. Tell us your thoughts, take our brief survey today! http://www.allaboutultrasound.com/salary-survey.html
For our OB/GYN Sonographers: How do you handle it when parents-to-be are so focused on the gender of their baby that they forget they are having their ultrasound to determine the health of their baby? So many times parents can be so excited and only want to know the sex of their baby. This can make it difficult to focus on the anatomical survey you as the sonographer are there to perform. How do you handle this professionally? Also, for those times when there is actually something wrong with the baby, then what? How do you maintain your professionalism as a sonographer, but still make it clear that your focus is not the baby's gender?

Ultrasound Accreditation and/or sonographer credentialing requirements are already in effect in many states and soon will be required for reimbursement of exams. Is your ultrasound lab accredited? If not, are the sonographers in your department registered? How is your lab preparing for the upcoming accreditation requirements?
How in depth does your echocardiography department go to classify the grade of LV diastolic dysfunction? Do you perform tissue Doppler? Do you grade by E/e' ratio? Do you sample tissue Doppler at only the lateral wall or also include the septal wall?  How would you adjust your ultrasound settings to go about proving this diagnosis? What waveform characteristics would you be aware of in adjacent vasculature?    Images courtesy of SONA IMAGING SOLUTIONS What is the method of diagnosis for this patient? How would you as the sonographer prove the findings seen below? What is the prognosis for this patient?
