RPVI™ Exam Simulation CD

Principal Editors: Frank Miele, MSEE, and William Zwiebel, MD

RPVI™ Exam Simulation CDDesigned to provide an efficient method of preparing for the RPVI exam, this exam simulation contains two full-length practice exams following the content outline and structure of the actual exam. An interactive tutorial on test-taking strategies offers insight into unique logic and reasoning skills for multiple choice exams. At the conclusion of each exam, a patented intelligent analysis tool delivers a detailed report as to your specific areas of strengths and weakness and test-taking habits. Unlimited access is available to the extensive, detailed review section. By identifying and targeting your areas of weakness, this CD allows you to use your limited study time effectively! This CD is perfect for those planning to challenge the RPVI Exam or anyone who would benefit from an extensive review of vascular ultrasound testing.

This activity is approved for a maximum of 24 Category 1 credits.

Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation, 4th Edition (2006)

Frank R. Miele, MSEE

  1. Ultrasound Physics & Instrumentation
  2. Vascular Physics & Instrumentation
  3. Cardiovascular Physics and Instrumentation

Ultrasound Physics, 4th Edition provides a comprehensive discussion of Ultrasound Physics and is designed to thoroughly prepare candidates for their national certification exams on the topics of ultrasound physics, cardiovascular physics and/or vascular physics. A 7-week syllabus is included, directing the reader on how to work through the material on their own. Organized in three levels, the new 4th Edition is appropriate for the beginning student to the practicing sonographer. Level 1 material focuses on underlying physical principles and basic concepts critical for developing skill in the use of diagnostic ultrasound. Level 2 covers topics outlined on certification exams and Level 3 material covers new ultrasound techniques and topics.
The 4th Edition comes with an Animation and Image Library CD-ROM that includes more than 300 videos, animations and images. Each chapter also concludes with a detailed key concepts summary. Containing over 1,300 questions with answers and more than 600 images and figures, the 4th Edition thoroughly explains how physics is involved in current and future sonographers daily scanning activities.

Unifying Ultrasound Physics Review Video

Frank R. Miele, MSEE

In this 90 minute video (available on VHS or DVD), Frank Miele, President of Pegasus Lectures, discusses important physics concepts as they relate to what sonographers do in their everyday practice. The purpose of this video is to review the main concepts of ultrasound physics and connect the main concepts into a cohesive “story” that is both memorable and applicable. Ultrasound physics is organized and discussed as it pertains to 7 steps and/or choices that sonographers make each time they scan a patient.
The video includes a review of ultrasound physics concepts including the creation of the test signal, system settings affecting the transmit signal, characterization of the test signal and medium, signal modulation, detection, display, and interpretation of the ultrasound image. In addition, Frank Miele covers attenuation, impedance, propagation speed, waves, frame rates, transducers, hemodynamics, color Doppler, CW/PW spectral Doppler, scan converters and bioeffects.

Available in VHS or DVD Formats.
