Exposure to ionizing radiation

Permanent magnetic interference

Damage to the ultrasound transducer

#21

In mammography, what is the purpose of using compression during the imaging process?

To reduce the dose of radiation required

To minimize motion artifacts in the images

To enhance contrast and improve image quality

To spread out breast tissue for better visualization

#22

What is the primary advantage of using nuclear medicine imaging techniques over other modalities?

They offer the highest resolution images

They provide real-time visualization of organ function

They do not involve exposure to radiation

It cannot penetrate bone or air

It requires a long examination time

It exposes patients to ionizing radiation

It has poor spatial resolution

#25

What is the primary advantage of using digital radiography over traditional film-based radiography?

Higher radiation dose to patients

Less flexibility in image manipulation

Immediate availability of images

Lower image quality
