The course is based on the information included on the ARDMS RPVI examina tion content outline. I\n\nThis Registered Physician in Vascular Inter pretation exam review is structured with exam specific tutorials, inte ractive case study scenarios and multiple “mock” examinations usin g our audience response system.\n\nCan’t Attend in Person? Attend a Live Video Webinar\n\nThis review is also being offered as a live, int eractive video webinar. Questions can be submitted to instructors thro ughout the review via e-mail. Webinar participants will also receive t he course syllabus and mock exam in a pdf format (since the live audie nce will use an audience response system to participate in the mock ex am, tabulation of test results and identification of areas of weakness are up to self audit for online participants). The review will be ava ilable as an On Demand Webinar after the live event is completed (addi tional cost).\n\nCourse Objectives:\nAt the completion of this program , the participant should be able to:\n\n1. Discuss Doppler/Color physi cs, factors affecting optimal Doppler examinations and commonly seen D oppler/Color artifacts, which may affect diagnostic accuracy.\n2. Expl ain routine scan protocols and analyze normal spectral waveform signat ures, color characteristics, and Doppler measurements in normal caroti d and peripheral vascular examinations.\n3. Recognize abnormal spectra l Doppler and Color Doppler findings seen with carotid and peripheral arterial and venous disease.\n4. Discuss the role of indirect testing in the evaluation of lower extremity arterial/venous disease.\n5. Revi ew complex carotid & peripheral vascular case studies in interactive i nterpretation session format.\n6. Explain the role of ultrasound in th e post-intervention examination.\n7. Describe ultrasound findings asso ciated with aortic endograft leaks.\n8. Describe normal and abnormal s pectral Doppler characteristics and diagnostic criteria associated wit h renal artery evaluation and dialysis access graft evaluation.\n9. Di scuss the role of TCD vascular ultrasound and TCD exam findings.\n10. Increase the participants’ knowledge to better interpret vascular ul trasound procedures.\n11. Identify areas of weakness to better prepare for the RPVI exam.\n\nCourse Topics:\n\n• Ultrasound physics\n• Q uality Assurance/Safety\n• Carotid, includes stents and vertebral\n Carotid and TCD (vessel depth and direction)\n• Carotid cases\n Abdominal/Visceral Duplex and case studies\n• Peripheral arterial - Indirect\n• Peripheral arterial duplex\n• Grafts/Intraoperative lecture\n• Peripheral arterial cases\n• Endografts/Dialysis\n• V enous duplex\n• Venous Insufficiency and physiologic testing\n• Ve nous cases\n• Test taking tips\n• Self assessment “Mock Exam”\ n\nWho Can Attend?\n\nAny physician preparing to take the RPVI examina tion and physicians who desire a comprehensive review of vascular ultr asound or who need to fulfill vascular CME requirements. Also, sonogra phers and vascular technologists who desire a comprehensive review of vascular interpretation and/or need to fulfill CME credit requirements .\n\nFaculty:\nRobert G.
