Springer HARD EXAM -NMTCB PRACTICE Questions with Certified Solutions Pyuria is a common finding in renal disease and is defined as the presence of: (A) White cells in the urine (B) Blood in the urine (C) Casts in the urine (D) Protein in the urine A – White cells in the urine Hematuria – blood in the urine, proteinuria – protein in the urine, cylindruria – microscopic casts in the urine. (SPECT MPI) can evaluate regional wall motion and ventricular volumes. Benefit of the combined assessment of myocardial perfusion and function relate to all of the following EXCEPT: (A) Help to differentiate attenuation artifacts from ischemia (B) Aid to identify patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (C) Assist in diagnosing arrhythmias (D) Provide prognostic value C - Assist in diagnosing arrhythmias Bilinear scaling methods employed in combined positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanners software are used to: (A) Convert CT image values to PET attenuation coefficients (B) Correct image misregistration (C) Improve counting statistics of the PET acquisition (D) Adjust positional mismatches (A) Convert CT image values to PET attenuation coefficients A patient referred for Meckel's diverticulum imaging received Cimetidine orally every 6 h for 1 day before the diagnostic imaging commenced. Cimetidine was given in what purpose? (A) To inhibit secretion of pertechnetate into the bowel (B) To stimulate pertechnetate accumulation in gastric mucosa (C) To prevent pertechnetate accumulation in the thyroid (D) To stop gastrointestinal bleeding A – To inhibit secretion of pertechnetate into the bowel Potassium perchlorate – inhibits localization of pertechnetate in ectopic mucosa-should be administered after the radionuclide study to reduce radiation dose to the thyroid. Figure 4.1 presents the schematic drawing of the normal heart conduction system. The label "D" represents: (A) The left bundle branch (B) The right bundle branch (C) The sinoatrial node (D) The atrioventricular node A - The left bundle branch Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is defined as an acute illness caused by irradiation of the entire body (or most of the body) by a high dose of radiation in a very short period of time. What is the other requirement for the valid ARS diagnosis? (A) The radiation must be penetrating (B) The dose must be internal (C) Radiation injuries must involve hands (D) Patient must recover in 6 months A - The radiation must be penetrating High-energy X-rays, gamma rays, and neutrons are penetrating radiation. For Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals the average range of positrons in human tissue is about: (A) 0.6-4 mm (B) 4-5 mm (C) 5-10 mm (D) >1 cm A -
