ARRT Vascular-Interventional Radiography study guide

ARRT certification and registration in Vascular Interventional Radiography (VI) recognizes technologists qualified to perform the role of a Vascular Interventional Radiographer. These technologists assist physicians with minimally invasive, image-guided vascular procedures - including angioplasty, stenting, and thrombolysis - and use sophisticated fluoroscopic equipment to capture images of blood vessels, working in hospitals, clinics, labs, or outpatient centers. VI is a postprimary credential: candidates must already hold ARRT credentials in an approved supporting discipline (in some cases a supporting credential earned through another organization may qualify), and must also satisfy education, ethics, and examination requirements. ARRT publishes examination content specifications outlining the topics that appear on VI exams, a task inventory of job responsibilities typical of the role, clinical experience requirements describing the type and quantity of procedures to complete, and structured education requirements. The ARRT Vascular-Interventional Radiography study guide has 4 sections and about 1,004 words.
