    The functional unit of kidney is called

    • Renal tubules

    • Neurons

    • Nephrons

    • Calyces

    Correct Answer
    A. Nephrons
    Explanation
    The functional unit of the kidney is called nephrons. Nephrons are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, regulating water and electrolyte balance, and producing urine. They consist of a glomerulus, which filters blood, and a tubule, which reabsorbs water and essential nutrients while excreting waste products. Nephrons play a vital role in maintaining the body's internal environment and regulating blood pressure.

    Cholecystoangiography is performed to demonstrate the

    • Kidney, ureters and urinary bladder

    • Gallbladder and bile ducts

    • Splenic and hepatic flexures

    • Stomach and small intestine

    Correct Answer
    A. Gallbladder and bile ducts
    Explanation
    Cholecystoangiography is a diagnostic procedure used to visualize the gallbladder and bile ducts. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the gallbladder and then taking X-ray images to assess the anatomy and function of these structures. This procedure is commonly performed to evaluate conditions such as gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder, or blockages in the bile ducts. By visualizing the gallbladder and bile ducts, cholecystoangiography can help in diagnosing and planning appropriate treatment for these conditions.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The cystic duct of the gallbladder empties into which of the following?

    • Right hepatic duct

    • Common bile duct

    • Duct of wirsung

    • Left hepatic duct

    Correct Answer
    A. Common bile duct
    Explanation
    The cystic duct of the gallbladder empties into the common bile duct. The common bile duct is responsible for carrying bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum, where it aids in the digestion and absorption of fats. The cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct, allowing bile to flow into the common bile duct and eventually into the small intestine.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following refers to the accumulation of fluid chiefly within the kidney, renal pelvis and calyces?

    • Hydrocele

    • Ascitis

    • Hydronephrosis

    • Hydrothorax

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydronephrosis
    Explanation
    Hydronephrosis refers to the accumulation of fluid mainly within the kidney, renal pelvis, and calyces. It is a condition that occurs when urine cannot flow properly from the kidney to the bladder, causing the kidney to become swollen and enlarged. This can be caused by various factors such as kidney stones, tumors, or blockages in the urinary tract. If left untreated, hydronephrosis can lead to kidney damage and other complications.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    A post-operative exam of the biliary system via a special catheter is called

    • Enteroclysis

    • PTC

    • Myography

    • T-tube cholangiography

    Correct Answer
    A. T-tube cholangiography
    Explanation
    T-tube cholangiography is the correct answer because it refers to a post-operative examination of the biliary system using a special catheter called a T-tube. This procedure involves injecting a contrast dye through the T-tube to visualize the biliary system and detect any abnormalities or complications after surgery. Enteroclysis is a different procedure used to examine the small intestine, PTC stands for percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography which is a different imaging technique for the biliary system, and myography is the study of muscle contractions and movements, which is unrelated to the biliary system examination.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which of the following radiographic examination is employed to demonstrate the bile ducts?

    • Oral chole

    • Cholecsytography

    • Cholangiography

    • Enteroclysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Cholangiography
    Explanation
    Cholangiography is a radiographic examination that is employed to demonstrate the bile ducts. It involves the use of contrast material that is injected into the bile ducts, allowing them to be visualized on X-ray images. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as gallstones, tumors, and strictures in the bile ducts. Oral chole, cholecystography, and enteroclysis are not specific examinations for demonstrating the bile ducts, making cholangiography the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following conditions is the most common cause for a non-functioning gallbladder?

    • Hepatitis

    • Anxiety

    • Chronic Cholecystitis with stone

    • Chronic pancreatitis

    Correct Answer
    A. Chronic Cholecystitis with stone
    Explanation
    Chronic cholecystitis with stone is the most common cause for a non-functioning gallbladder. Chronic cholecystitis refers to the inflammation of the gallbladder, which can be caused by the presence of gallstones. Gallstones can block the bile ducts, preventing the gallbladder from functioning properly. This condition is more prevalent compared to hepatitis, anxiety, and chronic pancreatitis, which are not typically associated with a non-functioning gallbladder.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A triangular area the mouth of the urinary bladder is called

    • Pelvis

    • Trigone

    • Prostate

    • Pyramid

    Correct Answer
    A. Trigone
    Explanation
    The triangular area at the mouth of the urinary bladder is called the trigone. It is formed by two ureteral orifices and the internal urethral orifice. The trigone is important for its smooth muscle lining, which helps prevent urine reflux from the bladder back into the ureters. It also serves as a sensory area, providing feedback to the brain when the bladder is full. The other options, pelvis, prostate, and pyramid, do not accurately describe the triangular area at the mouth of the urinary bladder.

  • 11. 

    Barieum meal is contraindicated to patient with

    • Hypertension

    • Complete Large bowel Obstruction

    • Asthma

    • Ulcer

    Correct Answer
    A. Complete Large bowel Obstruction
    Explanation
    A complete large bowel obstruction occurs when there is a blockage in the colon that prevents the passage of stool. Barium meal, which is a contrast agent used for diagnostic imaging of the gastrointestinal tract, should not be given to patients with a complete large bowel obstruction because it can worsen the blockage and potentially lead to complications. The barium meal can further obstruct the already blocked bowel, causing increased discomfort and potential perforation. Therefore, it is contraindicated in this condition.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which of the following duct would NOT be delineated in an IV cholangiography?

    • Glumerular

    • Cystic

    • CBD

    • Common hepatic duct

    Correct Answer
    A. Glumerular
    Explanation
    The glumerular duct would not be delineated in an IV cholangiography because the glumerular duct is not part of the biliary system. IV cholangiography is a procedure used to visualize the biliary system, which includes the cystic duct, CBD (common bile duct), and common hepatic duct. The glumerular duct is a term used in relation to the kidney, not the biliary system.

    The introduction of a drainage catheter into the collecting system of the kidney is called

    • Theatre technique

    • Retrograde pyelography

    • Percutaneous nephrostomy

    • Colostomy

    Correct Answer
    A. Percutaneous nephrostomy
    Explanation
    A percutaneous nephrostomy is a procedure in which a drainage catheter is inserted into the collecting system of the kidney. This is done to create a temporary or permanent opening to allow urine to drain from the kidney when the normal urinary pathway is blocked or damaged. It is typically performed under radiological guidance and is used in cases of urinary obstruction, such as kidney stones or tumors. The other options listed are unrelated to the insertion of a drainage catheter into the kidney.

    A VCUG study is considered to be

    • Functional

    • Non-functional

    • Useless

    • Stressful

    Correct Answer
    A. Functional
    Explanation
    A VCUG study is considered to be functional because it serves a specific purpose in diagnosing and evaluating urinary tract problems. VCUG stands for Voiding Cystourethrogram, which is a radiographic procedure used to examine the bladder and urethra while the patient is urinating. It helps to identify any abnormalities or dysfunctions in the urinary system, such as vesicoureteral reflux or bladder outlet obstruction. Therefore, the VCUG study is functional as it provides valuable information for medical professionals to make accurate diagnoses and determine appropriate treatment plans.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    The following are indications of micturation cystourethrography, EXCEPT

    • Vesicoureteric reflux

    • Stress incontinence

    • Abnormalities of UB

    • Ptosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Ptosis
    Explanation
    Micturition cystourethrography is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the bladder and urethra. It involves the injection of a contrast dye into the bladder and taking X-ray images while the patient urinates. The procedure is primarily used to evaluate conditions such as vesicoureteric reflux (backflow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys), stress incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine during physical activity or exertion), and abnormalities of the urinary bladder. Ptosis, which refers to drooping or sagging of an organ or body part, is not a relevant indication for micturition cystourethrography.

  • 16. 

    The term icterus is related term for

    • Cyanosis

    • Monster fetus

    • Cirrhosis

    • Jaundice

    Correct Answer
    A. Jaundice
    Explanation
    Icterus is a medical term used to describe the condition of jaundice. Jaundice is characterized by the yellowing of the skin and eyes due to an excess of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. When the liver is unable to process bilirubin effectively, it builds up in the body, resulting in jaundice. Therefore, icterus and jaundice are synonymous terms used to describe the same medical condition.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Which of the following is the location for a retention catheter to be taped onto male patient?

    • To the penis

    • To the sacrum

    • To the lower abdomen

    • To the side of the leg

    Correct Answer
    A. To the penis
    Explanation
    A retention catheter is a medical device used to drain urine from the bladder. In the case of a male patient, the correct location for taping the retention catheter is to the penis. This ensures that the catheter stays securely in place and allows for proper drainage of urine. Taping the catheter to any other location, such as the sacrum, lower abdomen, or side of the leg, would not be appropriate or effective in securing the catheter.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which of the following procedures would most likely follow an excretory urogram?

    • Cholangiography

    • Retrograde pyelography

    • Amniography

    • Proctology

    Correct Answer
    A. Retrograde pyelography
    Explanation
    An excretory urogram is a diagnostic procedure that involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream to visualize the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Retrograde pyelography is a procedure that is used to further evaluate the urinary system by injecting contrast dye directly into the ureters and kidneys. Since both procedures involve the use of contrast dye to visualize the urinary system, it is likely that retrograde pyelography would follow an excretory urogram. Cholangiography is a procedure used to visualize the bile ducts, amniography is used to visualize the amniotic sac during pregnancy, and proctology is the study and treatment of diseases related to the rectum and anus, so they are not directly related to an excretory urogram.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    The following are questions asked if the the gallbladder is not seen on the first film, EXCEPT

    • How many tablets were taken?

    • What time were the tablets/capsules taken?

    • Did diarrhea or vomiting develop after the tablets were taken?

    • Did you drink plenty of water?

    Correct Answer
    A. Did you drink plenty of water?
    Explanation
    The question asks for the question that is NOT asked if the gallbladder is not seen on the first film. The other three questions are related to the tablets that were taken and any symptoms that developed after taking them. These questions are relevant to the situation and can help in understanding the cause for not seeing the gallbladder. However, asking about drinking plenty of water is not related to the situation and would not provide any information about the gallbladder.

    The following ar contrast agents recommended for better visualization of gallbladder via oral method, EXCEPT

    • Buscopan

    • Biloptin

    • Telepaque

    • Cholebrin

    Correct Answer
    A. Buscopan
    Explanation
    Buscopan is not recommended as a contrast agent for better visualization of the gallbladder via an oral method. This is because Buscopan is an antispasmodic medication that is used to relieve smooth muscle spasms, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract. It does not have any contrast-enhancing properties and therefore would not be effective for visualizing the gallbladder. On the other hand, Biloptin, Telepaque, and Cholebrin are contrast agents that are commonly used for this purpose.

    Gallstones are usually composed of
    1. cholesterol
    2. bile pigment
    3. calcium salt

    • 1 only

    • 1 and 2

    • 1 and 3

    • 1, 2 and 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 1, 2 and 3
    Explanation
    Gallstones are usually composed of cholesterol, bile pigment, and calcium salt. This means that gallstones can consist of any combination of these substances. Cholesterol is a common component of gallstones, as it can crystallize and form solid masses in the gallbladder. Bile pigment, such as bilirubin, can also contribute to the formation of gallstones. Additionally, calcium salts can be present in gallstones, further contributing to their composition. Therefore, the correct answer is 1, 2, and 3, indicating that gallstones can be composed of cholesterol, bile pigment, and calcium salt.

    • To demonstrate CBD abnormalities if oral chole is negative.

    • Post-cholecystectomy patients with recurrent symptoms of biliary tract disease.

    • To evaluate the head of the pancreas.

    Correct Answer
    A. To evaluate the head of the pancreas.
    Explanation
    IV cholangiography is a diagnostic imaging procedure that involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream to visualize the bile ducts. It is used to assess the functioning of the gallbladder and bile ducts. The options provided are all potential indications for IV cholangiography except for evaluating the head of the pancreas. IV cholangiography is not typically used to evaluate the pancreas; other imaging modalities such as CT or MRI are more commonly used for this purpose.

    Which of the following conditions is NOT an indication for an ascending urethrography in male?

    • Urethral tears

    • Strictures

    • Periurethral or prostatic abscess

    • Hydronephrosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydronephrosis
    Explanation
    Hydronephrosis is not an indication for an ascending urethrography in males. Ascending urethrography is a diagnostic procedure used to visualize the urethra and detect abnormalities such as urethral tears, strictures, and periurethral or prostatic abscesses. Hydronephrosis, on the other hand, refers to the swelling of the kidneys due to a blockage in the urinary tract, typically not involving the urethra. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform an ascending urethrography for the evaluation of hydronephrosis.

    • Spleen

    • Pancreas

    • Urinary bladder

    • Appendix

    Correct Answer
    A. Urinary bladder
    Explanation
    The urinary bladder is located in the hypogastric region. The hypogastric region is the lower central region of the abdomen, below the umbilical region. The urinary bladder is a hollow organ that stores urine before it is eliminated from the body. It is situated in the pelvic cavity, specifically in the lower part of the abdomen, making it the correct answer for this question.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    Which of the following is NOT seen on an IVP radiography 5 minutes after injection?

    • Renal pyramid

    • Renal pelvis

    • Urinary bladder

    • Calyces

    Correct Answer
    A. Urinary bladder
    Explanation
    The urinary bladder is not seen on an IVP radiography 5 minutes after injection. An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a radiographic procedure used to visualize the urinary system. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream, which helps highlight the urinary tract structures. The dye travels through the bloodstream and is excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Within 5 minutes after injection, the contrast dye would have passed through the kidneys, renal pelvis, calyces, and renal pyramid, but it would not have reached the urinary bladder yet. Therefore, the urinary bladder would not be visible on the IVP radiography at this time.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    The following are advantages of ERCP, except

    • Ability to visualized and biopsy ampullary lesions.

    • Better therapeutic potential.

    • Demonstrate the biliary tree and pancreatic bile duct.

    • Avoid surgical exploration of CBD.

    Correct Answer
    A. Avoid surgical exploration of CBD.
    Explanation
    ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the biliary tree and pancreatic bile duct. It allows visualization and biopsy of ampullary lesions, demonstrates the biliary tree and pancreatic bile duct, and has a better therapeutic potential. However, ERCP does not completely eliminate the need for surgical exploration of the common bile duct (CBD) in certain cases, such as when there is a complex or difficult-to-treat condition. Therefore, the correct answer is "Avoid surgical exploration of CBD."

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    The following are functions of the liver, EXCEPT

    • Stores Glycogen

    • Disaturate fatty acids

    • Produces glycogen

    • Absorb protein

    Correct Answer
    A. Absorb protein
    Explanation
    The liver is responsible for many important functions in the body, including storing glycogen, producing glycogen, and desaturating fatty acids. However, the liver does not absorb protein. Protein absorption primarily occurs in the small intestine, where it is broken down into amino acids and then absorbed into the bloodstream. The liver plays a role in processing and metabolizing amino acids, but it does not directly absorb protein.

    Reduced peristalsis during the examination

    • Buscopan

    • Probantine

    • Laxatives

    • Dulcolax

    Correct Answer
    A. Buscopan
    Explanation
    Buscopan is the correct answer because it is a medication that is commonly used to reduce peristalsis during medical examinations. Peristalsis is the movement of muscles in the digestive tract that helps to propel food through the system. By reducing peristalsis, Buscopan can help to relax the muscles in the digestive tract, making it easier for medical professionals to perform examinations or procedures. This can be particularly useful in situations where a patient may be experiencing discomfort or where it is necessary to have a clear view of the area being examined.

    How should a patient for operative cholangiography be positioned?

    • 15 to 20 degree LPO

    • 15 to 20 degree RPO

    • 45 degree LPO

    • 45 degree RPO

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 to 20 degree RPO
    Explanation
    A patient for operative cholangiography should be positioned in a 15 to 20 degree right posterior oblique (RPO) position. This position allows for optimal visualization of the bile ducts during the procedure. The RPO position helps to move the liver away from the spine, providing a clear view of the bile ducts and reducing the risk of injury during the procedure.

    Which of the following is the radiologic procedure of choice for detection of suspicious renal tumor, abscess or stones?

    • Retrograde pyelography

    • Barium enema

    • IV urography

    • IV cholangiography

    Correct Answer
    A. IV urography
    Explanation
    IV urography is the radiologic procedure of choice for the detection of suspicious renal tumor, abscess, or stones. This procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into the veins, which then travels to the kidneys and urinary tract. X-rays are taken at specific intervals to track the movement of the dye and identify any abnormalities in the kidneys or urinary system. IV urography provides detailed images of the kidneys and is particularly useful in diagnosing renal tumors, abscesses, and stones. Retrograde pyelography is a procedure used to visualize the urinary tract, but it is not the preferred choice for detecting these specific conditions. Barium enema and IV cholangiography are procedures used to examine the gastrointestinal and biliary systems, respectively, and are not relevant to the detection of renal tumors, abscesses, or stones.

    • 1 only

    • 1 and 3

    • 2 and 3

    • 1, 2 and 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 only
    Explanation
    Retrograde pyelography is considered a non-functional direct study because it involves the injection of contrast dye directly into the ureters, allowing for visualization of the urinary tract. This procedure does not involve the functional assessment of the kidneys, making it a non-functional study. Excretory urography, on the other hand, is a functional study that involves the injection of contrast dye into a vein, which is then filtered by the kidneys and excreted into the urinary tract. Infusion pyelography is also a functional study that involves the infusion of contrast dye into a vein, allowing for the visualization of the urinary tract and assessment of kidney function. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 only, as retrograde pyelography is the only procedure considered a non-functional direct study.

    Which of the following radiographic procedures is/are use to demonstrate an obstruction in the common bile duct prior to surgery?
    1. PTC
    2. T-tube cholangiography
    3. IV cholangiography

    • 2 only

    • 1 and 3

    • 2 and 3

    • 1, 2 and 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 and 3
    Explanation
    PTC (percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography) and IV (intravenous) cholangiography are radiographic procedures that can be used to demonstrate an obstruction in the common bile duct prior to surgery. PTC involves the insertion of a needle through the skin into the liver to inject contrast dye directly into the bile ducts, allowing for visualization of any obstructions. IV cholangiography involves the injection of contrast dye into a vein, which is then filtered by the liver and excreted into the bile ducts, allowing for visualization of any obstructions. T-tube cholangiography, on the other hand, is not typically used to demonstrate an obstruction in the common bile duct.

    The usual dose of contrast agent for adult  having an IVP x-ray examinations approximately

    • 100-150 ml

    • 150-200 ml

    • 10-20 ml

    • 30-100 ml

    Correct Answer
    A. 30-100 ml
    Explanation
    The usual dose of contrast agent for an adult undergoing an IVP x-ray examination is typically between 30-100 ml. This amount is sufficient to provide the necessary contrast for clear imaging of the urinary tract and surrounding structures. Higher doses may be required for specific cases or individuals with certain conditions, while lower doses may be used for patients who are more sensitive to the contrast agent.

    The following are IV cholangiographic contrast agents, EXCEPT

    • Biloptin

    • Endobil

    • Biligrafin

    • Biliscopin

    Correct Answer
    A. Biloptin
    Explanation
    The question asks for IV cholangiographic contrast agents, which are substances used to enhance the visualization of the bile ducts during imaging procedures. The options provided are Biloptin, Endobil, Biligrafin, and Biliscopin. The correct answer is Biloptin because it is not a known IV cholangiographic contrast agent. Endobil, Biligrafin, and Biliscopin are all examples of IV cholangiographic contrast agents commonly used in medical imaging.

    The following are complications of percutaneous nephrostomy, EXCEPT

    • Urticaria

    • Hemorrhage

    • Perforation of the collecting system

    • Ptosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Urticaria
    Explanation
    Urticaria is not a complication of percutaneous nephrostomy. Urticaria is a skin condition characterized by hives or raised, itchy bumps on the skin. It is typically caused by an allergic reaction to certain foods, medications, or environmental factors. However, percutaneous nephrostomy is a procedure used to drain urine from the kidney when the normal flow is obstructed, and complications can include hemorrhage (bleeding), perforation of the collecting system, and other potential risks.

    Which of the following structure is NOT delineated in a T-tube cholangiography?

    • Gallbladder

    • Right and left hepatic ducts

    • CBD

    • Duodenum

    Correct Answer
    A. Gallbladder
    Explanation
    A T-tube cholangiography is a radiographic procedure used to visualize the biliary system after a cholecystectomy. It involves the insertion of a T-tube into the common bile duct (CBD) and injecting contrast dye to visualize the biliary structures. The gallbladder is removed during a cholecystectomy, so it is not delineated in a T-tube cholangiography. The procedure primarily focuses on visualizing the right and left hepatic ducts, as well as the CBD, to assess for any abnormalities or complications post-surgery. The duodenum is not a biliary structure and is not typically visualized during this procedure.
