The Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) examination tests basic physical principles and instrumentation knowledge essential to sonography professionals and students.
To earn an RDMS, RDCS or RVT credential, you must pass the SPI examination and a corresponding specialty examination within five years. After passing the SPI examination, you can earn additional credentials without having to retake the SPI examination, provided you maintain active status.
