Course Overview

Noninvasive vascular imaging plays an increasingly important role in diagnosing cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, venous disorders, abdominal vascular disease, and numerous other vascular conditions. Accurate interpretation of vascular ultrasound examinations requires a strong understanding of ultrasound physics, imaging techniques, hemodynamic principles, and standardized diagnostic criteria.

The RPVI Online Review Course 2026 provides a comprehensive review of vascular interpretation, focusing on the knowledge required for both clinical practice and successful completion of the APCA Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination. Faculty members present evidence-based lectures covering every major vascular ultrasound application while demonstrating practical interpretation strategies through clinical case reviews and examination-style practice questions.

The curriculum emphasizes systematic image interpretation, duplex ultrasound techniques, vascular laboratory standards, and current diagnostic criteria that can be immediately applied in everyday cardiovascular and vascular imaging practice.

What You’ll Learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental principles of vascular ultrasound physics and Doppler imaging.
• Perform systematic interpretation of noninvasive vascular imaging studies.
• Apply standardized diagnostic criteria for vascular laboratory examinations.
• Interpret carotid, transcranial, visceral, peripheral arterial, and venous duplex ultrasound studies.
• Evaluate physiologic arterial testing and hemodynamic assessment.
• Improve image acquisition techniques for vascular ultrasound examinations.
• Prepare effectively for the APCA Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) examination using expert instruction and board-style practice questions.
• Strengthen clinical decision-making through evidence-based vascular imaging interpretation.

Comprehensive Topics Covered

Vascular Ultrasound Physics

Review the essential principles of ultrasound physics, Doppler technology, flow dynamics, image optimization, artifacts, instrumentation, and hemodynamic assessment that form the foundation of vascular ultrasound interpretation.

Image Acquisition

Learn proper scanning techniques, patient positioning, probe selection, image optimization, Doppler settings, spectral waveform analysis, and best practices for obtaining high-quality vascular ultrasound examinations.

Carotid Duplex Ultrasound

Develop practical expertise in evaluating carotid artery stenosis, plaque characterization, cerebrovascular disease, postoperative surveillance, and evidence-based diagnostic criteria for carotid duplex imaging.

Transcranial Doppler (TCD)

Strengthen your understanding of intracranial vascular assessment using transcranial Doppler, including cerebral blood flow evaluation, vasospasm detection, emboli monitoring, and neurovascular applications.

Visceral Duplex Ultrasound

Review duplex ultrasound evaluation of the mesenteric, renal, and abdominal visceral arteries while learning current diagnostic criteria for visceral vascular disorders.

Aorto-Iliac Duplex Imaging

Master the interpretation of abdominal aortic aneurysms, aortoiliac occlusive disease, postoperative surveillance, and duplex assessment of abdominal vascular pathology.

Lower Extremity Venous Ultrasound

Learn evidence-based approaches to diagnosing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency, venous reflux disease, and other lower extremity venous disorders using duplex ultrasound.

Lower Extremity Arterial Duplex

Review arterial duplex evaluation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), arterial stenosis, bypass graft surveillance, postoperative assessment, and lower extremity ischemia.

Physiological Arterial Studies

Understand ankle-brachial index (ABI), toe-brachial index (TBI), pulse volume recordings (PVR), segmental pressures, exercise testing, and other physiologic vascular laboratory studies.

Upper Extremity Arterial Studies

Gain practical knowledge in diagnosing upper extremity arterial disease, thoracic outlet syndrome, arterial occlusive disease, vascular trauma, and postoperative vascular evaluation.

Upper Extremity Venous Ultrasound

Review duplex ultrasound assessment of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis, venous obstruction, catheter-associated thrombosis, and central venous disorders.

Learning Objectives

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

• Understand vascular ultrasound physics and Doppler imaging concepts.
• Interpret vascular ultrasound examinations using standardized diagnostic criteria.
• Apply evidence-based vascular laboratory protocols in clinical practice.
• Recognize normal and abnormal vascular imaging findings.
• Improve diagnostic accuracy in carotid, peripheral arterial, venous, and visceral vascular imaging.

Why This Course Stands Out

The American Society of Echocardiography RPVI Online Review Course 2026 is specifically designed to prepare physicians for the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) certification examination while simultaneously strengthening practical clinical skills in vascular imaging. Unlike general vascular ultrasound courses, this program follows the examination blueprint, combining expert lectures, board-style review, real-world case interpretation, and standardized diagnostic criteria. Participants gain both examination readiness and practical expertise that enhances daily vascular laboratory interpretation.

Target Audience

This educational activity is ideal for:

• Echocardiography Physicians
• Vascular Imaging Specialists
• Vascular Surgeons
• Radiologists
• Cardiology Fellows
• Vascular Fellows
• Sonographers
• Registered Vascular Technologists (RVT)
• Cardiovascular Ultrasound Professionals
• Physicians preparing for the APCA RPVI examination
