+ Information:

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…

Date of Original Release: June 30, 2023
Date Credits Expire: June 29, 2026
CME credit is obtained upon successful completion of an online activity post-test and evaluation.
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
