RVT ARDMS 2026 – 100 Questions on Hemodynamics, ABI, Doppler & Vascular Anatomy Exam

This document contains approximately 100 exam-style questions with correct answers based on vascular ultrasound principles, aligned with key textbooks such as Introduction to Vascular Ultrasonography by Zwiebel & Pellerito. It provides comprehensive coverage of vascular anatomy, hemodynamics, Doppler physics, arterial and venous systems, and diagnostic testing methods including ABI and duplex imaging. The material is presented in a structured Q&A format to support both conceptual understanding and ARDMS RVT exam preparation. As shown in the document (pages 1–5), foundational topics include vessel structure (tunica intima, media, adventitia), arterial branching (e.g., celiac trunk, SMA, IMA), and major vascular pathways supplying the extremities and organs. Mid-sections (pages 6–15) focus on hemodynamic principles such as laminar vs turbulent flow, Reynolds number, Poiseuille’s law, resistance, and energy relationships in blood flow. Later sections (pages 18–27) emphasize Doppler ultrasound techniques (CW vs PW, aliasing, spectral analysis), ABI calculations, stenosis grading using velocity ratios, and clinical diagnostic criteria for vascular disease, ensuring strong alignment with real RVT exam expectations. This resource is ideal for students preparing for the ARDMS RVT certification, as well as those enrolled in vascular ultrasound, diagnostic medical sonography, and cardiovascular technology programs. It is suitable for courses such as Vascular Technology, Doppler Ultrasound Physics, Hemodynamics, and Peripheral Vascular Imaging. Additionally, it benefits sonography students, radiologic science students, and healthcare professionals seeking certification or advancing their expertise in vascular diagnostics and imaging.
