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 34% of the breast exam, whereas Emerging Technology and Treatment represents 7%. The outline for the Breast specialty examination appears below.
