This ARDMS Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) Vascular CTL Exam 2025/2026 study guide contains over 200 verified questions and correct answers covering high-yield vascular anatomy, physiology, pathology, and ultrasound imaging principles. Designed for candidates pursuing ARDMS RVT certification, it provides a concise yet comprehensive Q&A format aligned with current registry exam standards. Key topics include arterial and venous anatomy (lower and upper extremities, abdominal vessels, cerebrovascular circulation), hemodynamic principles (Poiseuille’s and Bernoulli’s laws, velocity–pressure relationships), and transcranial Doppler (TCD) protocols for MCA, ACA, PCA, and carotid siphon evaluation. It also reviews venous disease diagnostics, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) detection, reflux testing, and perforator vein identification (Dodd’s, Hunter’s, Cockett’s). Arterial pathology coverage includes stenosis, aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, AV fistulas, mesenteric ischemia, and renovascular hypertension. The guide also reinforces diagnostic measurement criteria, including ABI interpretation, velocity ratios, and mesenteric-to-aortic ratio assessment. Ultrasound imaging techniques, Doppler waveform analysis, and proper measurement methods for key vessels are extensively addressed. This resource is ideal for: Courses: Vascular Ultrasound, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Peripheral Vascular Testing, Cerebrovascular Imaging, ARDMS RVT Exam Preparation Students: Sonographers, vascular technologists, ultrasound students, and healthcare professionals preparing for ARDMS RVT certification or recertification With its targeted Q&A format and registry-focused scope, this guide ensures mastery of vascular diagnostic principles, enhancing both exam readiness and clinical competency. Keywords: ARDMS RVT, vascular ultrasound, vascular anatomy, venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis, perforator veins, arterial stenosis, Poiseuille’s law, Bernoulli’s principle, transcranial Doppler, carotid siphon, ABI interpretation, velocity ratio, aneurysm detection, duplex ultrasound, collateral circulation
