SCRIPT
⩥ Which of the following catheters is typically used when it is necessary
to navigate tortuous anatomy?
Straight catheter.
Umbrella catheter.
Guide catheter.
Balloon occlusion catheter. Answer: Guide catheter.
⩥ Which of the following is a risk of a central venous catheter?
Bleeding.
Blocked lines.
Kinking of the catheter.
All of the above. Answer: All of the above.
⩥ Anything that interferes with the formation of a digital image is
known as which of the following?
Voxels.
Contrast.
,Interference.
Noise. Answer: Noise.
⩥ When using an automatic pressure injector, the rate at which the
contrast is delivered is known as which of the following?
Flow rate.
Volume.
Linear rise.
Injection delay. Answer: Flow rate.
⩥ Each of the following is an indication for arterial stent placement
EXCEPT:
-lesion suspected as a source of distal emboli
-inflow lesion prior to distal surgical bypass procedure
-extrinsic compression by malignancy
-ostial lesion Answer: -extrinsic compression by malignancy
⩥ Which of the following is NOT a type of catheter?
pigtail
headhunter
dynamic
,Van Aman Answer: dynamic
(Van aman is like a Grollman - used for pulmonary)
⩥ The level of detail visibile in a digital image is also known as which
of the following?
Contrast.
Matrix.
Contrast resolution.
Spatial resolution. Answer: Spatial resolution.
⩥ Which of the following statements about stent placement is least
accurate?
Balloon-expandable stents deploy from the middle to both ends.
The long-term results of stents in most anatomic locations are better than
angioplasty alone.
Stents should not be placed at sites of anticipated surgical anastomoses.
The techniques for stent placement vary depending upon the device.
Answer: Balloon-expandable stents deploy from the middle to both
ends.
(Balloon-expandable stents deploy from both ends toward the middle,
not vice versa)

on the wrist
on the abdomen
on the neck Answer: on the left side of the chest -slightly below the
nipple
