Vascular Technology Review: A Q&A Review for the ARDMS Vascular Technology Exam

Test yourself before the ARDMS tests you! Vascular Technology Review illuminates the facts and principles on which you will be tested, hones your test-taking skills, and reveals your strengths and weaknesses by exam topic. Based on the exam outline published by ARDMS, this brand new edition contains more than 570 registry-like questions together with instructive illustrations, answers, clear explanations, and quick references for further study. A new Hall of Images and more than 50 image-based cases prepare you to tackle the images on the exam.

Why are our mock exams so popular and effective? Because they contain the same kinds of thought-provoking questions you will find on the real exam! Approved for 12 hours of continuing medical education (CME) credit by the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS).
