Radiographic Pathology for Technologists
(Kowalczyk, 2025) | Complete Test Bank | REVISED
EDITION – NEW 100% VERIFIED CORRECT
hypertrophy
a generalized increase in cell size
atrophy
a generalized decrease in cell size
metaplasia
conversion of one cell type into another cell type
hyperplasia
an increase in the number of cells in tissue as a result of excessive proloferation
dysplasia
abnormal changes of mature cells
chest tube
a large plastic tube inserted through the the chest wall between the ribs to allow drainage of
fluid or air
endotracheal tube
a large plastic tube inserted through the patient's nose or mouth into the trachea to manage the
patient's airway
CVP lines
a catheter inserted for an alternative injection site or to allow for infusion of massive volumes of
fluids
pulmonary artery catheter
A multilumen catheter that serves to evaluate cardiac function
access catheter
catheters placed to allow multiple tapping for injection of chemotherapeutic agents
false
a tumor consisting of differentiated cells has a higher probability for malignancy
true
a histologic evaluation of a primary cancer that is graded as an "I" is considered well
differentiated
true
the staging systems used for both benign and malignant skeletal lesions are identical
true
on a normal PA chest radiograph the right hemidiaphragm appears higher than the left
hemidiaphragm
true
, M. Tuberculosis is captured by macrophages within the alveoli and creates a cell mediated
immune response that infiltrates the lymph nodes
false
early pulmonary tuberculosis is always symptomatic
true
small cell carcinoma has a much higher mortality rate than other bronchogenic cancers
true
lateral decubitus chest radiographs can better detect smaller amounts of fluid in the pleural
space than an erect lateral chest radiograph
false
the posterior mediastinum contains the heart and great vessels, esophagus, and trachea
true
the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses are the only paranasal sinuses present at birth
pathogenesis
the sequence of events producing cellular changes following injury best defines
disease
an abnormal disturbance of the function and structure of the human body following injury
refers to
etiology
the study of the cause of a disease
bacteria, chemicals, and heat
Common agents that cause disease include
signs and symptoms that characterizes a specific abnormal disturbance
a syndrome is best defined as
iatrogenic
an adverse response to medical treatment itself is termed
prognosis
the predicted course and outcome of a disease
destructive, lytic, and subtractive
disease that generally require a decrease in the exposure technique are considered
epidemiology
the investigation of disease occurring in large groups best defines
congenital
diseases that are present at birth from genetic or environmental factors are classified
autosomal
a genetic disorder caused by an abnormality on one of the 22non-sex chromosomes is
considered
virus
a protein coat surrounding a genome of either RNA or DNA without an organized cellular
structure best describes which type of microorganism
virulence
the ease with which a pathogenic organism can overcome the body's defenses
metabolic
disease caused by the disturbance of normal physiologic function
