The American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers publishes
its exam outlines and other important information on its website (
www.ARDMS.org). Visit the site for complete information about
applying for and taking the registry examinations.
The outline for each exam indicates the
approximate percentage of the exam that a particular topic represents. This information is important because it indicates the relative importance of each topic and allows you to study more effectively. For example, Pathology represents 41% of the obstetrics and gynecology exam, whereas Physics and Instrumentation represent 8%.
