The Alliance for Physician Certification and Advancement (APCA) administers the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination to allow physicians, fellows and radiologists to test and demonstrate their knowledge of echocardiography based on an objective standard.

The purpose of this course is to help individuals prepare for the RPVI examination by providing access to expert-led lectures that feature cases and practice exam questions. The following topics are included in the course.

• Vascular Ultrasound Physics
• Image Acquisition
• Carotid Duplex
• Transcranial Doppler
• Visceral Duplex
• Aorto-iliac Duplex
• Noninvasive/Lower Extremity Venous
• Noninvasive/Lower Extremity Arterial Duplex
• Physiological Arterial Studies
• Upper Extremity Arterial Studies
• Upper Extremity Venous

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand vascular ultrasound physics and concepts
• Learn how to read and interpret vascular imaging studies
• Identify vascular lab imaging diagnostic criteria
