Physics
According to content outline given by the NBE, and from past attendees, ultrasound physics represents approximately 20-25% of the ASCeXAM content. Historically, the physics has been reported as the most challenging material.
The ASCeXAM Simulation DVD is no longer available.
Hemodynamics and Valvular Calculations
These two products, produced by Mark Harry, are indispensable for a review of cardiac hemodynamics. The Essentials of Echocardiography and Cardiac Hemodynamic workbook and the Cardiac Hemodynamic Tutorial CD can be purchased individually or at a discounted package price.

ASCeXAM Simulation CD
Designed to provide an efficient way of preparing for the ASCeXAM, this DVD delivers a customized study plan so you won't spend time studying material you know! The DVD starts with a full tutorial on test-taking strategies designed to improve your test-taking skills overall. Next, you are asked to take a timed, full-length exam consisting of a three-hour multiple choice section and a two-hour video module. At the end of the exam, an intelligent patented analysis package delivers hundreds of details as to your specific areas of content strengths and weaknesses. In addition, it provides information as to your test taking skills showing you how you can become a better test-taker. Unlimited access is also available to review each question, how you answered, the correct answer and a detailed explanation as to why. Prior to taking the next exam, it is recommended, that you spend time studying the material where you are weak. Once you feel confident with the material, you can move on to the second exam and follow the same steps. After working through the second exam and analysis, you can retake the exams following the same process until you feel fully prepared for the registry exam. By using the ASCeXAM DVD to prepare, you will have studied the right material and have spent your limited study time wisely.

Cardiovascular Physics ExamSim CD
Focusing on cardiovascular physics concepts, this ExamSim Suite CD delivers a customized study plan so you do not spend time studying material you already know! The CD starts with a full tutorial on test-taking strategies designed to improve your test-taking skills overall. Next, you are asked to take a timed, full-length exam with 120 questions. At the end of the exam, an intelligent patented analysis package delivers hundreds of details as to your specific areas of content strengths and weaknesses. In addition, the analysis provides information on your test taking skills, showing you how you can become a better test-taker. Unlimited access is available to review each question, how you answered, the correct answer and a detailed explanation. Prior to taking the next exam on the CD, it is recommended that you complete the review section and spend time studying the material where you are weak before attempting the second exam. After taking the second and third exams and reviewing the corresponding analysis, you can retake the exams following the same process until you feel fully prepared to sit for your registry exam (24 exams). By using this ExamSim Suite CD to prepare, you will have studied the key concepts, focused on your areas of weakness, and used your study time efficiently.

Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation, 4th Edition
With 35 CSDMS, over 1,300 questions with answers and a new Animation and Image Library CD-ROM, Frank Miele's Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation, 4e is the definitive resource on ultrasound physics. The new three-level approach makes this text appropriate for the beginning sonographer as well as for physicians and Advanced Practice Sonographers. Level 1: Ultrasound Physics Basics focuses on the underlying physics and basic concepts critical for developing skill in the use of diagnostic ultrasound. This level also serves as a refresher for people who have good ultrasound experience but weaker backgrounds in physics and basic mathematics. Level 2: Exam Level Ultrasound Physics covers basic topics often outlined on the credentialing exams. It is intended to generate a more profound understanding of the concepts, emphasizing the relationship between the fundamentals of physics and the quality of a diagnostic ultrasound study. Level 3: Advanced Ultrasound Physics Concepts and Applications contains advanced topics, newer ultrasound techniques, and higher level material for those who want to be challenged. An Animation and Image Library CD is included, which brings ultrasound physics to life by demonstrating the temporal aspect of each physics concept. The CD contains over 250 images, animations and AVIs.
Essentials of Echocardiography and Cardiac Hemodynamics, 3rd Edition
This new book is an updated combination of Mark's critically acclaimed Basic Echocardiography Workbook and Cardiac Doppler Hemodynamic Workbook. This cardiac text provides a basic overview of instrumentation, cardiac anatomy, M-mode, 2D, and spectral Doppler principles. Additionally, this text is also designed to provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art Doppler methods for assessment of right heart pressures, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, LV diastolic filling, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and much more. This book focuses on the practical day-to-day application of Doppler methods. High quality black and white illustrations and Doppler tracings are used to illustrate Doppler methods and present case studies with questions and answers for review. The second edition includes a brand new chapter on LV Optimization.
