NUCLEAR MEDICINE EXAM PART 2
WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
This data is reconstructed by a computer in several formats including transaxial,
sagittal, coronal, planar and 3D representation - ANS-Image data
Fusion imaging is also referred to as - ANS-Image fusion or Coregistration
The disadvantage of using low radiopharmaceutical levels in static imaging - ANS-
Images must be acquired for a preset time or a minimum number of counts or
radioactive emissions
99mTc Sodium pertechnetate is used for - ANS-Imaging of brain, thyroid, scrotum,
salivary glands, renal perfusion, and pericardial effusion and evaluation of left-to-right
cardiac shunts
99mTc Sulfur colloid is used for - ANS-Imaging of liver, spleen and renal transplant
Lymphoscintigraphy
Any radioactive material that is spilled must be - ANS-Immediately clean up and
contained
The advantage of using pulse height analyzer - ANS-Improve image resolution
Improved clinical results with SPECT are due to - ANS-Improved target-to-nontarget
ratios
The advantage of networking - ANS-Improves the efficiency of a nuclear medicine
department
A process referring to outside of the patient - ANS-In vitro
Describes a process occurring or being in an artificial environment such as a test tube
or a culture plate - ANS-In vitro
Outside a living organism - ANS-In vitro
A term referring to inside of the patient - ANS-In vivo
Describes a process or reaction that occurs within the patient - ANS-In vivo
, Inside a living organism - ANS-In vivo
All diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging procedures are based on the distribution of
radiopharmaceuticals within the body. These examinations are classified as - ANS-In
vivo examinations
The regions of the heart that appears as areas of decreased activity or photopenia at
the time of injected are - ANS-Infarcted or underperfused
The modes of administration of radioactive material (tracer) - ANS-Injection ,
Swallowing ,Inhalation
Radionuclides are created in nuclear reactors by - ANS-Inserting a target element into
the reactor core where it irradiated or Separating and collecting the fission products
During a myocardial perfusion thallium study, radioactive thallium is injected - ANS-
Intravenously while the patient is physically stressed on a treadmill (stress test) or being
infused with a vasodilator
Atom or chemical radical that bears an electrical charge that is either positive or
negative - ANS-Ion
This emits a gamma ray as it decays - ANS-Radionuclide
Type of atoms whose nucleus disintegrates spontaneously - ANS-Radionuclide
This is tagged to a pharmaceutical - ANS-Radionuclide
The two general components of radiopharmaceutical - ANS-Radionuclide and
pharmaceutical
This technique is based on imaging using a multi-gated acquisition (MUGA) format -
ANS-Radionuclide Angiography (RNA)
It requires simultaneous acquisition of the patient's ECG and images of the left ventricle
- ANS-Radionuclide Angiography (RNA)
The used of radiopharmaceutical doses vary depending on the - ANS-Radionuclide
used /Type of examination Patient size
Group of radioactive drugs used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease - ANS-
Radiopharmaceutical
It refers to a radioactive drug used for diagnosis or therapy - ANS-Radiopharmaceutical
