RVT ARDMS Certifications License: Complete Roadmap
Follow this path to maximize your chances of passing on the first try
Normal Anatomy & HemodynamicsYou are here
Master cerebrovascular, peripheral arterial, venous, and abdominal vascular anatomy. Understand normal Doppler waveforms and hemodynamic principles including the continuity equation and Bernoulli principle.
Pathology & Disease Recognition
Study carotid stenosis grading criteria, DVT diagnosis, venous reflux testing, peripheral arterial disease, AAA, renal artery stenosis, and mesenteric ischemia. Know velocity criteria for grading stenosis.
Physiologic Testing & Non-Imaging
Learn segmental pressure measurement, ABI calculation, PVR interpretation, PPG testing, and exercise stress testing protocols. Understand when to use physiologic testing vs duplex imaging.
Post-Surgical Evaluation
Study bypass graft surveillance, dialysis access evaluation (AVF/AVG), stent assessment, endovascular repair surveillance (EVAR/TEVAR), and complications of vascular interventions.
Ultrasound Physics & Instrumentation
Master Doppler physics, color/spectral Doppler optimization, artifacts recognition, quality assurance testing, and bioeffects/safety. Understand the Nyquist limit, aliasing, and proper Doppler angle.
Can You Take the RVT (Vascular Technology) Exam?
Check if you meet the basic eligibility requirements
- •Must pass SPI (Sonography Principles & Instrumentation) exam within 5 years of VT exam
- •Submit application and fee to ARDMS ($300 for VT exam)
- •Complete eligible pathway: student, graduate, or clinical experience route
- •Clinical experience must include comprehensive vascular ultrasound (cerebrovascular, peripheral, abdominal)
- •Schedule exam through Pearson VUE within approved timeframe

Quality Exam Prep Shouldn't Cost Hundreds
I'm Ran Chen, an engineer with 20+ years of coding experience. I passed my Life Insurance license, EA exam, SIE, Series 6, 63, 65, and finally the CFP® exam.
Through all these exams, one thing became clear: exam prep is expensive. But with AI, we can change that. Quality preparation can now be free for everyone.
