Fundamentals of Ultrasound Imaging
A clear, confidence-building starter for new and cross-training sonographers.

Build a rock-solid foundation in how ultrasound works and how to turn knobs into diagnostic images. In plain language and practical demos, you’ll master core physics, probe selection, image optimization, Doppler essentials, safety, and workflow—so you can scan whatever comes your way, with purpose. Perfect for students, new grads,  nurses, EMS and clinicians cross-training into ultrasound, this course focuses on real-world tips, repeatable techniques, and checklists you can use on day one.

You’ll learn to:

  • Explain key physics (frequency, wavelength, attenuation) and how they affect image quality

  • Choose the right  presets for common exams

  • Optimize images - adjusting depth, gain and other parameters

  • Recognize and fix common artifacts (shadowing, enhancement, reverberation, aliasing)

  • Apply Color & Spectral Doppler basics 

Ideal for: Students, new sonographers and clinicians cross-training into ultrasound. Ultrasound Education Simplified!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Echocardiography knowledge base is excellent!

The advanced cardiac sonographer test and learn quiz is a wonderful tool to help prepare your mindset to think at the next level. Many of the tools we may have forgotten as sonographers are resurrected by going through these modules which you will need when taking the ACS registry test. I highly recommend the All About Ultrasound/iHeartecho ACS module and website for everyone looking to push the horizon of your knowledge to the next mountain. ”

Carlton Hartwell, ACS, RDCS, FASE

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The interactive format was engaging!

The interactive and virtual format of the ACS registry review course was engaging and easy to use. The review format helped prepare me for the different types of questions that were on the actual exam.”

Ervin Castro, ACS, RCS, RCCS, CCT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The ACS registry review was very helpful!

The ACS registry review course was very helpful, especially when first beginning the process of studying. The real-time feedback helped me to discover where my knowledge gaps were so that I could target those specific areas. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to earn the ACS credential.”

Lauren Castro, ACS, RDCS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Great purchase and I would recommend it to any professional!

This material covers a wide scope of questions. I really liked the format and how the questions and answers are arranged, very easy to use. Also the fact that there are explanations for the answers is a plus. I really feel that this was the material that helped me the most to pass my ACS exam. Great purchase and I would recommend it to any professional that would like to advance in their career.”

Jose Serrat, ACS, RVT, RDMS, RDCS, R.NCS.T, CCT

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This was a great SPI review!

This was a great review. The quiz feedback on the questions is helpful and I would recommend it to any imaging professional.”

Kathy Patterson

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I passed my ACS!

I wanted to write you to express how grateful I am to your ACS quiz site! The explanations you provided why answers were right/wrong was exactly what I needed to prepare myself for the exam... especially the equations and math problems!!! I found that there were some of your quiz questions on the exam!! Again, thank you so much for what this site offers!!! ”

Kendra Vartia, BS, RDCS, ACS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I passed my RCCS!!

I just want to take time to say THANK YOU! I PASSED MY RCCS! I wouldn't have passed this test without your review program.”
