-osteoporosis
-osteomyelitis
-stress fracture - ANSWER osteomyelitis
,The standard views performed in a lung perfusion study are:
-anterior and posterior only
-posterior and obliques only
-anterior, posterior, and lateral of the affected lung
-anterior, posterior, laterals, and obliques - ANSWER anterior, posterior, laterals, and
obliques
Upon completion of an imaging procedure, the patient sits up quickly and complains of
dizziness and feeling faint. The most appropriate action for the technologist would be
to:
-talk with the patient and have the patient breathe slowly and deeply
-check vital signs
-have the patient lie down again
-have the patient stand and walk around the room - ANSWER talk with the patient and
have the patient breathe slowly and deeply
All of the following statements about performing a lung ventilation study with Tc
pentetate aerosol are true, except:
-multiple projections may be obtained with one dose of tracer
-the patient is disconnected from the nebulizer after inhalation of the aerosol
-the patient is imaged while inhaling particles from the nebulizer
-the face mask, tubing, and nebulizer must be disposed of as radioactive waste -
ANSWER the patient is imaged while inhaling particles form the nebulizer
, The purpose of wrapping the legs with elastic bandages before performing a
radionuclide venogram with Tc MAA is to:
