Mammography Test #1
To help maintain spatial resolution during magnification, what change is made to the
mammographic imaging technique? - -A smaller focal spot size is sued
-___ are exempt from MQSA requirements - -Veterans administration hospitals
-The disadvantage of divergent x-rays in mammographic imaging is - -The possibility of
missing tissue
-Assoring to the Digital Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (DMIST), digital imaging is
able to provide higher quality images than film-screen imaging for women: - -With dense
breasts
-The "risk vs benefit" debate regarding mammography attempts to find a balance between
- -Image quality and patient dose
-According to federal regulations, before a radiologic technologist can become a
mammographer, he or she must complete how many hours of instruction - -40
-The most common location for breast cancer formation is the - -Ducts
-One of the best ways to reduce patient motion in mammography is to reduce - -Exposure
time
-The greatest challenge in the design of digital mammographic equipment was to create an
image receptor large enough to cover the entire breast tissue while providing - -A high
level of detail
-The benefits of using compression in mammography include all of the following EXCEPT -
-Elimination of patient motion
-T/F (1) Visualizing the ribs on a mammogram ensured that the entire breast was
visualized on the image - -F1
-Which of the following was a valid early criticism of mammography?
-The force of compression harmed the sensitive breast
-The images were too high in contrast
-The high radiation dose
-The cost for the exam was too high - -The high radiation dose
-The impetus behind screening mammography was - -The introduction of a dedicated
mammography machine
-When must a nipple be imaged in profile - --To determine the exact location of a lesion
