Nuclear medicine board review UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
one advantage of the in vivo method of Tc99m red cell no manipulation of blood samples outside the body is
tagging is that: required
boiling a Tc99m sulfur colloid preparation for too long will
too large
result in colloidal particles that are:
Which of the following components in a Tc99m medronate
prep is a radiochemical impurity?
a. aluminum
b. Mo99 Tc99m pertechnetate
c. 0.9% NaCl
d. Tc99m pertechnetate
e. ascrobic acid
which of the following image findings is most consistent
with chromatography results of a tc99m oxidronate sam-
ple demonstrating 65% radiochemical purity?
a. well-defined bone uptake
b. stomach and thyroid uptake
b. stomach and thyroid uptake
c. lung uptake
d. gi activity
e. heart uptake
In what way does the modified in vivo method of labeling
the modified method mixes Tc99m pertechnetate with
RBCs with Tc99m pertechnetate differ from the in vivo
only a small volume of the patient's blood
method?
What is true about the modified in vivo method for label- a sample of the patien'ts "pretinned" blood is incubaed
ing red blood cells with Tc99m pertechnetate? with Tc99m pertechnetate outside of the patient
If a Mo99/Tc99m generator is eluted at 0700 and again
will be decreased
at 1300, the next day's Tc99m yield at 0700:
127 millicuries is equivalent to how many gigabecquerels? 4.70 GBq
, contact the generator manufacturer
, if a new generator is eluted several times and each time
the amount of alumnum in the eluate exceeds the USP
limit, the tech should:
the shelf life of most tc99m labeled RP's is: 6-8 hours
Which of the following medical history is relevant to In111
capromab pendetide imaging?
a. breast feeding schedule
b. mammogram result PSA level
c. last menstrual cycle
d. pregnancy status
e. PSA level
Which of the following is not recommended during HM-
PAO/ECD administration?
a. dim the lights
talk calmingly to the patient during injection
b. inject using an IV line
c. talk calmingly to the patient during injection
d. ask them to keep eyes and ears open
pentagastrin is commonly used in which of the following
Meckel's diverticulum
scans?
If an anticoagulant is added to a blood sample, the fluid
plasma
portion of the blood sample is known as:
Contraindication for performing MPI resting study is: having a nitroglycerin drip
to help clear the thyroid, liver, and bowel when performing
a cardiac perfusion study with sestamibi, a tech should a glass of cold water
give what before imaging?
where is the x-ray generator located in a CT scanner? inside the gantry
immediately after meal consumption, then every 15 min-
In performing a GET, imaging should begin: utes for at least 2 hours
