Humans have 206 bones. There are many different types of bones. An nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
example of a long bone is the femur. Long bones have spongy tissue inside.
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
They have two types of marrow inside of them that is responsible for blood
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
production. They are red and yellow marrow.

2.Osteoporosis diagnosis in children takes into account densitometric crite- ria nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
and:
nh
Clinical fracture history A nh nh nh
low blood cell count
nh nh nh nh
A decrease in bone structure
nh nh nh nh
Calcifications in the aorta: Clinical fracture history nh nh nh nh nh nh
Based on the pediatric health assessment in children and adolescents,
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
diagnosing osteoporosis in children involves using densitometric criteria,
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
clinical significant fracture history and low bone mineral density or bone
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
mineral content. A clinical fracture history may include: (a) fracture of the lon
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
bone in the lower extremity,
nh nh nh nh nh
(b) vertebral compression fracture and (c) at least two or more than two long
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
bone fractures located in the upper extremities.
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
3.Antiresorptive drugs are used to:: Inhibit bone removal. nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
There are two main types of drugs used to treat osteoporosis. They are
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
antiresopritve drugs and bone forming drugs. Antiresorptive drugs are used
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
to slow down bone loss progression. Bone forming drugs help to increase
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
nh nh
,bone mass. Antiresorptive drugs are used to inhibit bone removal.

4.Which of the following best describes the rationale for the technologist
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
avoiding the adjustment of the bone edges during a dual energy x-ray absorp-
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
tiometry scan?: Reproduction may not be possible at follow up
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
During a PA spine dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan, the technologist
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
should ensure the bone edges are correct. However, the technologist does
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
not want to change the bone edges or adjust the intervertebral markers
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
unless he or she has to. If the bone edges or markers are adjusted, it makes it
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
hard for reproduction
nh nh nh
at following up. If the bone edges or the intervertebral markers are adjusted,
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
the technologist should document these changes for future reference.

,5.Which ribs are known as floating ribs?: Ribs 11-12. nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
There are 206 individual bones in the adult body. The bones in the body are
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
arranged in 2 main divisions. The axial skeleton is composed of the skull,
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
hyoid, auditory ossicles, ribs, sternum, and vertebral column. The
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
appendicular skeleton is composed of the lower limbs, upper limbs, pelvic
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
girdle, and pectoral girdle. The ribcage is created by the sternum and ribs.
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
There are 12 pairs of ribs. The 7 top ribs are referred to as the true ribs. Ribs 8-
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
10 are called false ribs. The bottom 2 ribs are referred to as floating ribs.
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
Floating ribs do not have a cartilage attachment to the sternum.
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
6.A densitometry printout often contains:: Calculated parameters
nh nh nh nh nh nh
A densitometry printout often contains measured parameters, calculated
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
parame- ters, the selected region of interest, the bone mineral density values
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
and standard score comparisons. These comparisons are the standard T-
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
scores and Z-scores. Some reports include an age-regression graph that nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
shows the calculated parame- ters and the standard score comparisons
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
plotted out on a graphical display for the selected region of interest.
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
7.Estrogen is approved as a drug to treat osteoporosis. Estrogen works to nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
treat osteoporosis by:: Inhibiting bone resorption
nh nh nh nh nh nh
The general kinds of drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
to treat or prevent osteoporosis include antiresorptive agents and anabolic
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
agents.
nh
Estrogen, along with several bisphosphonates, calcitonin and selective nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
estrogen receptor modulators, are classified as antiresorptive agents. These
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
drugs stop bone resorption.
nh nh nh nh
8.The margin of error between the standardized BMD (sBMD) from two differ- ent
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
manufacturers' bone densitometry machines is up to:: 3%The standardized
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
BMD (sBMD) is an option on a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) the
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
technol- ogist can use to calculate bone mineral density when performing a
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
PA of the spine or of the total hip.
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
The standardized BMD is one way to attempt to make the BMD equal among
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
different manufacturers of central DXA devices for comparing bone mineral
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
density values. However, the standardized BMD is not an exact equivalent of
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
BMD values for the different central devices and the technologist should
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
expect between a 1-3% error margin.
nh nh nh nh nh nh
9.An example of a selective estrogen receptor modular drug used for the
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
treatment of osteoporosis is:: Raloxifene
nh nh nh nh nh
Raloxifene, brand name Evista, is a drug used for treating and preventing nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
osteo- porosis. This drug is classified as a selective estrogen receptor
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
modulator (SERMs) and works like estrogen, a hormone made in the woman's
nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh nh
nh nh
, nh body, to increase bone thickness or density.
