15 Questions4 MinutesCreated by ScanningStar102

Which application is not useful for routine breast cancer screening because it does not consistently detect certain early signs of cancer such as microcalcifications of calcium in the breast that cannot be felt but can be seen on a conventional mammogram?

Flouroscopy

PET

Sonography

MRI

Which of the following is NOT true about Sonography?

Safest of all imaging modalities

It is effective at imaging body parts that have gas in them or are hidden by bone, such as the lungs or head

It is the least expensive imaging modality

It utilizes a noninvasive imaging test and has no known complications

This imaging modality is most useful in detecting brain cancer.

MRI

Sonography

CT Sim with Contrast

Flouroscopy

FDG - Fluorodeoxyglucose...

S a radionuclide that is administered during PET.

Is a glucose analog

Will congregate to any place where cells are turning over quickly, such as a location with metastatic tumor(s).

All answers are correct

Has a 110-minute half life

Which of the following statement are false about an Electronic Portal Imaging Device - (EPID) ?

Is mounted opposite the head of the gantry

Converts x-ray information to digital information that can be displayed as an image on a computer screen.

These imaging systems rapidly produce static or real-time images of treatment volumes and computer manipulation of digital information enhances visualization, particularly beneficial to megavoltage (MV) imaging.

Requires contrast material and or agent

Which of the following is true about Computed Tomography (CT)?

Uses a fan beam created from an x-ray tube that rotates around the patient.

Single projection images are acquired at certain degree intervals while the gantry rotates resulting in a 2D extended digital array.

Results in a 3D data set with axial, sagittal and coronal planes that provide bony and soft tissue visualization.

Images are slightly offset from one another and are the foundation for which a 3D volumetric data set is produced.

Positron Emission Tomography is NOT used in

Diagnosing many cancers

Sim in Radiation Oncology

Staging

Follow-up once treatment has concluded

Imaging the patient before treatment and matching the anatomy with the treatment plan
