This online CME program spans 40 lectures that expose you to all aspects of non-invasive vascular testing. Abundant case study materials and over 100 registry-type exam questions will help those who work within the non-invasive vascular laboratory to prepare for the RPVI examination and maintain IAC Vascular Testing continuing medical education requirements. Nationally-renowned speakers provide expanded content on vascular lab operations and ergonomics, as well as valuable insight on:

  • Imaging techniques (grayscale, color and spectral Doppler, physiological testing)
  • Various testing protocols and diagnostic criteria
  • A broad range of vascular pathology, both common and rare
  • Fundamentals of vascular physics
  • Quality improvement and patient safety
  • And more…

Unique Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Recognize basic ultrasound physics concepts and their application to vascular ultrasound and physiologica testing
  • Identify common imaging and Doppler artifacts encountered in the vascular laboratory
  • Use grayscale imaging, color Doppler analysis, and spectral Doppler waveforms to assist in the diagnosis of arterial and venous disease
  • Apply interpretation skills for diagnosis of internal carotid artery stenosis using duplex ultrasound
  • Apply interpretation skills for diagnosis of venous thrombosis and venous valvular reflux using duplex ultrasound
  • Use arterial duplex and physiological testing to assess severity and anatomic location of lower extremity arterial disease
  • Apply standard diagnostic criteria to diagnose abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and renal and mesenteric artery stenosis using duplex ultrasound
  • Use color and spectral Doppler analysis to assess the patency of arterial and venous stents and following endovascular AAA repair
  • Recognize uncommon and rare vascular disorders encountered in the vascular laboratory
  • Use best practices for running a high quality vascular laboratory, including quality improvement program, accreditation, and prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMSD) among technical personnel
  • Identify areas of knowledge deficit to improve preparation for the ARDMS Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination
