Nuclear Medicine Technology Exam
Questions with Complete Solutions
Sensitivity - Answer-measures the effiency and geometry of the camera
Specificity - Answer-TNF -the ability of a given test to determine what fraction or
percentage of well patients will have a negative test result.
Patient Confidentiality - Answer-HIPAA, all patients have a right to privacy and all
information should remain privileged
Resolution - Answer-The ability of a counting or imaging system to accurately depict two
separate events in space, time, or energy as separate.
Infarct - Answer-area depreved of its blood supply because of an obstruction.
MI - Answer-myocardial infarction
Absorbed Dose - Answer-engergy deposited in a given mass rad
Crystal - Answer-focal lens or filter to manipulate the information from the collimator
Flood - Answer-quality control test, check uniformity with flood
Accuracy - Answer-refers to whether a given measurement or set of measurements
reflects a true or exact value
Constancy - Answer-stead fast; something unchanging read constant
Linearity - Answer-The strength of this is measured by the correlation coefficient.
Decay - Answer-radioactive disintegration of a nucleus of an unstble nuclide.
Planar - Answer-type of imagin maybe used for brain perfusion
JCAHO - Answer-Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
SPECT - Answer-single photon emission computed tomography an imaging techniqe
associated with single gamma ray emitting radiopharmaceuticals obtained using a
scintillation camera that moves around the patient to obtain images from multiple angles
for tomographic image reconstruction. 3 d imaging
False-Positive - Answer-A test result that indicates a positive result that is not true
