This online eCourse is designed to cover the content tested on the Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) exam and the Physics portion of the CCI RCS and RVS exams. Concepts covered include ultrasound math principles, waves, attenuation, pulsed wave operation, transducers, system operation, Doppler, artifacts, bioeffects, contrast and harmonics, quality assurance, and hemodynamics. The online streaming video lecture is delivered in an interesting way, related to what ultrasound professionals do on a day-to-day basis. Our unique Pegasus delivery platform allows you to customize your presentation, view modules at your convenience, print notes and even bookmark topics to create your own focused review session.
