Sonographer In The Making
Are You Ready for the SPI?
10 quick questions. Be honest - this is just for you. I have seen students book the exam too early and others wait too long. Let us figure out where you actually stand.
1I can explain attenuation in one sentence.
2I understand the relationship between frequency, wavelength, and depth.
3I can identify aliasing on a spectral Doppler tracing.
4I know how to adjust PRF to correct aliasing.
5I understand the difference between acoustic impedance and attenuation.
6I can explain why gas shadows but fluid does not.
7I know what happens to frame rate when depth increases.
8I can list the factors that affect lateral resolution.
9I have taken at least one full-length SPI practice exam.
10I score consistently above 75% on physics question sets.
