Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate clinical interpretation of arterial and venous vascular noninvasive studies in the peripheral, cerebrovascular, and abdominal systems
• Discuss the clinical application of velocity criteria for grading of stenosis in the vasculature including dialysis grafts, endovascular interventions in the aorta and peripheral system, and bypass grafts
• Summarize basic ultrasound physics and ultrasound technology as it applies to vascular diagnostics
• Review topics commonly found on the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) exam
• Develop and start a vascular laboratory program at their home institution
