The Breast (BR) examination tests basic mammography knowledge and skills essential to Sonography Professionals.
To earn a Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (RDMS) credential with a BR specialty, you must pass the Sonography Principles & Instrumentation (SPI) examination and the BR 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.
You must wait 60 days before you can retake the BR examination if you do not pass it however, you are welcome to reapply after 3 days.
