CT angiography uses contrast to visualize internal structures, especially the vascular system.

#12

What does the term 'fluoroscopy' refer to in diagnostic imaging?

A continuous X-ray imaging technique used to visualize moving internal structures in real-time

Explanation

Fluoroscopy is a continuous X-ray technique for real-time visualization of moving internal structures.

#13

Which of the following imaging techniques is commonly used to assess bone density and diagnose osteoporosis?

DEXA scan

Explanation

DEXA scan assesses bone density and diagnoses osteoporosis.

#14

Which of the following imaging techniques is commonly used to guide minimally invasive procedures such as biopsies or injections?

Ultrasound

Explanation

Ultrasound is commonly used to guide minimally invasive procedures.

#15

Which of the following imaging techniques is commonly used to evaluate the function of the heart and diagnose cardiovascular diseases?

Which of the following imaging techniques is commonly used to assess the function and structure of the kidneys?

Ultrasound

Explanation

Ultrasound is commonly used to assess kidney function and structure.

#17

What is the primary difference between a PET scan and a CT scan?

PET scan uses radioactive tracers, while CT scan uses X-rays.

Explanation

PET scan uses radioactive tracers, while CT scan uses X-rays for imaging.

#18

Which imaging technique is commonly used for evaluating soft tissue injuries, such as those in muscles, tendons, and ligaments?

MRI

Explanation

MRI is commonly used for evaluating soft tissue injuries.

#19

Which of the following imaging techniques is commonly used to evaluate the function and structure of the liver?

Hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan

Explanation

Hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan is commonly used to evaluate liver function and structure.

#20

Which of the following is a potential risk associated with undergoing a PET scan?

Exposure to ionizing radiation

Explanation

PET scans pose a risk of exposure to ionizing radiation.

#21

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

To spread out breast tissue for better visualization

Explanation

Compression in mammography spreads breast tissue for improved visualization.

#22

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

They provide real-time visualization of organ function

Explanation

Nuclear medicine offers real-time visualization of organ function.

#23

What is the primary advantage of using 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) over traditional 2D mammography?

Higher sensitivity for detecting breast cancer

Explanation

3D mammography has higher sensitivity for detecting breast cancer than traditional 2D mammography.

#24

What is the primary limitation of ultrasound imaging?

It cannot penetrate bone or air

Explanation

Ultrasound cannot penetrate bone or air, limiting its imaging capabilities.

#25

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

Immediate availability of images

Explanation

Digital radiography offers immediate availability of images compared to traditional film-based radiography.
