- Binge-watching without practice: Videos are not a substitute for scanning live patients with a preceptor. Use videos to prepare for lab, not replace it.
- Ignoring artifacts: Many students skip videos on artifacts (reverberation, shadowing, enhancement). This is a mistake. 30% of board questions involve identifying or eliminating an artifact.
- Outdated editions: Rumack’s 5th edition (2017) lacks the latest updates on elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and fetal neurosonography. Always use the 6th edition (2022 or newer) for videos.
