This ARDMS Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) 2025/2026 Mock Exam contains over 200 verified questions and correct answers designed to help candidates achieve top performance on the vascular technology board exam. It thoroughly covers essential topics in vascular anatomy, physiology, pathology, and diagnostic imaging techniques relevant to ARDMS RVT certification. The material includes detailed Q&A on cerebrovascular anatomy, transcranial Doppler (TCD) protocols, and interpretation of Doppler waveforms for ICA, ECA, vertebral, and intracranial arteries. Peripheral vascular topics address arterial duplex criteria, ankle-brachial index (ABI) interpretation, waveform analysis, and exercise testing for claudication. Venous disease coverage includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) diagnosis, venous reflux testing, valve competence assessment, and thrombus detection. Special focus is given to arterial pathologies such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, mesenteric ischemia, and renovascular hypertension, as well as collateral circulation pathways and hemodynamic changes due to stenosis or occlusion. The guide also includes registry-style quantitative criteria, such as velocity thresholds for stenosis, end-diastolic flow patterns, and post-intervention assessments. This resource is ideal for: Courses: Vascular Ultrasound Registry Review, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Cerebrovascular Imaging, Peripheral Arterial and Venous Testing, ARDMS RVT Exam Preparation Students: Sonographers preparing for ARDMS RVT certification, vascular lab technologists, ultrasound students, and healthcare professionals specializing in vascular diagnostics With its registry-style question format and clinically relevant explanations, this mock exam serves as both a self-assessment tool and a content mastery resource, ensuring readiness for the ARDMS RVT examination and clinical application. Keywords: ARDMS RVT, vascular ultrasound, transcranial Doppler, cerebrovascular imaging, venous reflux, deep vein thrombosis, ankle-brachial index, arterial stenosis, atherosclerosis, collateral circulation, duplex ultrasound, vascular anatomy, hemodynamics, quantitative criteria, peripheral vascular testing
