PRIMARY PATHWAY: VASCULAR SONOGRAPHY

WORKING IN VASCULAR SONOGRAPHY

Vascular sonography is a challenging yet rewarding profession. As a vascular sonographer working in this field, you’ll use ultrasound equipment to produce images of patients’ veins and arteries using high-frequency sound waves. Physicians use the images—which show the structure and movement of internal organs, or blood moving through vessels—to diagnose and treat various conditions. In this role, you’ll also provide information and support to patients, while being an important part of the medical team.

GET STARTED ON YOUR CREDENTIAL

Just as for your first ARRT credential, you’ll have to fulfill requirements in education, ethics, and examination before you obtain a credential in Vascular Sonography using the primary pathway.

After looking over the requirements, review these important documents:

  • Primary Eligibility Pathway Handbook
  • Didactic and Clinical Competency Requirements—through December 31, 2023
  • Didactic and Clinical Competency Requirements—effective January 1, 2024
  • Examination Content Specifications
  • Task Inventory


    The Vascular Sonography credential can also be obtained through our postprimary pathway. To use this route you must meet a different set of requirements.
