AMERICAN REGISTRY OF RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGISTS (AART)
EXAM|| LATEST UPDATE WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Radiologic technologists make up the ______ of health care professionals—
surpassed in number only by physicians and nurses - CORRECT ANSWER third-
largest group
A primary responsibility of many technologists is - CORRECT ANSWER to create
images of patients' bodies using medical equipment
In this position, you'll create images using specialized X-ray equipment, which can
help doctors discover issues with patients' bone health. If the test reveals bone loss,
patients and their health providers can discuss treatment options, such as
medication and lifestyle changes. - CORRECT ANSWER Bone Densitometry
Bone densitometry - CORRECT ANSWER method of determining the density of
bone by radiographic techniques used to diagnose osteoporosis
you'll use a transducer on the patient's breast to produce ultrasound images. A
doctor will then analyze the images and use them in diagnosis. You might also
assist with interventional procedures, such as biopsies. - CORRECT ANSWER As a
breast sonographer,
you'll assist physicians with minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to help
diagnose and treat heart and blood vessel diseases without surgery - CORRECT
ANSWER As a cardiac interventional radiographer
computed tomography (CT) - CORRECT ANSWER a scanning technique using
multiple X-rays to construct three-dimensional images
, the resonant frequency properties of atoms are used within a magnetic field to
image anatomic and/or physiologic conditions of the body - CORRECT ANSWER
During an MRI
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - CORRECT ANSWER a technique that uses
magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-generated images that
distinguish among different types of soft tissue; allows us to see structures within
the brain
you'll operate specialized equipment, obtaining images that help physicians detect
breast cancer and other breast diseases in their earliest stages - CORRECT ANSWER
As a mammographer
mammography - CORRECT ANSWER radiographic imaging of the breast
Your responsibilities will include preparing and injecting radiopharmaceutical
agents into patients, then using a scanner or camera to capture images. - CORRECT
ANSWER Nuclear medicine technologist
nuclear medicine technologist - CORRECT ANSWER performs radioactive tests and
procedures under the supervision of a nuclear medicine physician, who interprets
the results
You'll use special equipment that produces ionizing radiation to administer
therapeutic doses of radiation - CORRECT ANSWER Radiation Therapy
Radiation Therapy - CORRECT ANSWER treatment of cancer with a radioactive
substance, x-ray, or radiation
