Why you should choose

Quality Vascular Imaging, Inc

Reputation

We specialize in vascular testing. It is all we do! Ultrasound is arguably the most difficult of today's vast array of imaging technologies and it is highly operator dependent. Our staff is widely recognized by area physicians as the most qualified to perform your vascular testing. We have been serving the community since 2000 as Quality Vascular Imaging and have been performing testing locally for many years prior.

Certification

You should demand that anyone performing your testing is credentialed in not just ultrasound but specifically in vascular testing. This person is called a Registered Vascular Technologist ("RVT"). All our technologists are RVT's, registered by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, the most respected organization providing a certification for ultrasound professionals. http://www.ardms.org Our staff are regularly invited to lecture on a national and international basis on a wide variety of clinical, technical, and professional issues. QVI staff have a large number of publications in peer reviewed professional journals to our credit. All are members and most are very active in the Society for Vascular Ultrasound ("SVU") http://www.svunet.org a national organization dedicated to the advancement of noninvasive vascular testing and improving patient care. This is of criticial importance as currently, there is no licensure required for performing ultrasound in any state and sadly, it is estimated that the majority of persons performing ultrasound today have not even demonstrated minimum entry level competence.

Accreditation

Quality Vascular Imaging, is accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories http://www.icavl.org The ICAVL is dedicated to promoting high quality noninvasive vascular diagnostic testing in the delivery of health care by providing a peer review process of laboratory accreditation." This extremely rigorous process evaluates every aspect of a Vascular Laboratory's operation and requires correction of any deficiencies prior to granting accreditation. ICAVL and properly credentialed technologists are the best assurance that a patient will received high quality, accurate testing!
