About the course

Master the Core. Control the Exam.

Structured around the 7 foundational physics domains that drive SPI success.

Why this one

  • A 7-part physics framework that breaks ultrasound physics into manageable, easy-to-follow sections.
  • 100 SPI-focused practice questions to reinforce learning and build exam confidence.
  • Efficient learning — designed to deliver maximum understanding in just 5 hours.
