RVT ARDMS VASCULAR
ULTRASOUND TEST 2026 COMPLETE
150 QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS
◉ What are the indirect cerebrovascular testing used for? Answer: They
are used to identify Hemodynamically significant lesion, HDSL ,of the
Interal Carotid Artery by evaluating flow at some of its terminal
branches.
◉ What are limitations of indirect cerebrovascular testing? Answer: -
These types of exams cannot differentiate between a tight stenosis and
an occlusion
-These types of exams are only helpful if there is a HDSL,
hemodynamically significant lesion present
◉ OPG- GEE - Oculopneumoplethysmography Answer: -this is an
indirect test
-provides information regarding Hemodynimcally signficant lesion
(HDSL) in the Internal Carotid Artery
◉ What are limitations of Oculopneumoplethysmography? Answer: -
Cannot determine the exact location of the stenosis
-Cannot determine between tight stenosis and an occlusion
-Not helpful when well developed collateral pathways exists
-Not helpful in monitoring the progression of disease
, ◉ What are the contraindications and reasons not to perform
oculopneumoplethysmography exam? Answer: Patient with glauecoma
Patient with allergies to local anesthetics
Patient with a history of retinal detachment
Patient whom have had eye surgery in the past 6 months
◉ Method of OPG-GEE , Oculopneumoplethysmography Answer:
Patient is supine
Take brachial blood pressure
If blood pressure is less than 140 mmHg, then use a vaccum of
300mmHg
If blood pressure is greater than 140mmHg, then use a vaccum of
500mmHg
A local anesthetic is applied to the eye
Eye cups are placed on the eye and the correct amount of vaccum is
applied to the cup
This will obstruct blood flow in the arteries that supply blood to the eye
The patient will lose vision for a short period of time
The vaccum is released, and arterial flow into the eye returns, when the
opthamlic artery pressure exceeds the intraoccular pressure.
This pressure reflects the pressure in the Distal Internal Carotid Artery
