Vascular Technician
Renal Artery Duplex & Lower Extremity Arteries

Today’s medical facilities are encouraging cross training in many fields. Ultrasound is no exception. Many general ultrasound technologists have been required to cross train in vascular and cardiac ultrasound. Delta College is offering a Vascular Sonography class that will educate the sonographer on how to perform both Renal Artery Duplex and Lower Extremity Artery ultrasounds. With completion of this course the sonographer will have an understanding of the pertinent vascular anatomy, hemodynamics and the effects of pathology on blood flow, surgical interventions and treatment of disease and will prove competency through hands on scanning. This class will touch on ICAVL Accreditation, vascular testing protocols and laboratory management concepts. The ARDMS Vascular Technology exam outline will serve as a guideline for class content. Broadening your sonography skills will make you a more marketable technologist and can significantly increase your pay scale.

A Certificate of Completion will be offered for passing this class. Delta College LifeLong Learning is a member of the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography and is pursuing the Continuing Education Credits (CMEs) for this program.

Note: This is not a review course for the ARDMS board exam.
