- Carotid Imaging & TCD Exams: An exhaustive study on the norms and aberrations of imaging, spectral Doppler, and Color Doppler related to carotid evaluations.
- Abdominal Aorta & Endograft Imaging: Understand critical ultrasound findings indicative of aortic endograft leaks.
- Abdominal Visceral Duplex Imaging: A deep dive into abdominal visceral evaluations covering renal, mesenteric, and hepatic regions.
- Peripheral Arterial Testing: A study on both direct and indirect testing methodologies for lower extremity arterial disease evaluation.
- Peripheral Venous Testing: Comprehensive knowledge on venous disease evaluations, including those pertaining to venous insufficiency.
- QA, Safety & Bioeffects: Get acquainted with the best practices and safety standards in vascular imaging.
- Interactive Case Studies: 135 engaging case presentations to bolster practical knowledge and its application.
- Mock Examinations: Four intensive mock tests, crafted to mirror the actual certification exam environment, enhancing test-taking confidence and competence.
Course Inclusions:
- A robust log system that tracks completed cases. A unique feature allows 100 of these cases to meet the APCA Clinical Vascular Ultrasound Experience prerequisite.
Objectives: Upon successful completion of the course, participants will:
- Gain substantial knowledge to either enhance their vascular ultrasound examination performance or to ace the RPVI certification exam.
- Efficiently discern between normal and abnormal findings in imaging, spectral Doppler, and Color Doppler across various vascular evaluations.
- Harness the potential of indirect testing for evaluating lower extremity arterial diseases.
- Develop competence in interpreting intricate vascular case studies.
- Assimilate essential diagnostic elements to draft structured reports.
- Elevate their diagnostic and treatment precision through integration of detailed protocols, techniques, and diagnostic criteria.
In essence, this course is an essential stepping stone for any medical professional aiming to master vascular interpretation and the nuances of the RPVI Certification Exam.
