    The Radionuclide introduced into the body is chemically bond to a complex that acts characteristically within the body; it is commonly known as

    • Tracer

    • Tracker

    • Detector

    • Scanner

    Correct Answer
    A. Tracer
    Explanation
    A radionuclide introduced into the body is chemically bonded to a complex that acts characteristically within the body. This complex is commonly known as a tracer. Tracers are used in medical imaging and diagnostic procedures to track the movement of substances within the body. They can help identify abnormalities or diseases by highlighting specific areas or processes. Tracers are also used in scientific research to study biological processes and pathways.

    Conditions such as Hyperthyroidism, thyroid Cancer and Blood disorder can be treated using

    • Atomic Therapy

    • Nuclear Therapy

    • Beachy Therapy

    • Radionuclide Therapy

    Correct Answer
    A. Radionuclide Therapy
    Explanation
    Radionuclide therapy is the correct answer because it involves the use of radioactive materials to target and treat specific conditions such as hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and blood disorders. These radioactive substances are introduced into the body either orally or through injection, and they emit radiation that can destroy or control abnormal cells. This therapy is effective in treating these conditions by specifically targeting the affected cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells.

    In some Centers, the Nuclear Medicine department may also use implanted Capsules of isotopes to treat Cancers. Known as

    • Angiopathy

    • Brachytherapy

    • Anglotherapy

    • Capslelotherapy

    Correct Answer
    A. Brachytherapy
    Explanation
    Brachytherapy is a form of cancer treatment where small radioactive capsules, also known as seeds, are implanted directly into or near the tumor. These capsules release radiation over a period of time, effectively killing the cancer cells. This technique allows for targeted and localized treatment, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. It is commonly used in the field of nuclear medicine to treat various types of cancers, making it the correct answer in this case.

    In mid 1920s in Freiburg, Germany, the experiment made with Radionuclides administered to Rats was carried out by

    • George de Havesy

    • John Lawrence

    • Ben Cason

    • Darren Sugg

    Correct Answer
    A. George de Havesy
    Explanation
    George de Havesy is the correct answer because he was a Hungarian biochemist who conducted significant research on the use of radioactive isotopes in biological systems. In the mid-1920s in Freiburg, Germany, de Havesy performed experiments involving the administration of radionuclides to rats. His work laid the foundation for the field of tracer studies, which has since become a crucial tool in various scientific disciplines, including medicine and environmental studies.

    Who is the Father of Nuclear Medicine?

    • Ben Cason

    • John Lawrence

    • George de Havesy

    • Darren Sugg

    Correct Answer
    A. John Lawrence
    Explanation
    John Lawrence is considered the Father of Nuclear Medicine because he was one of the pioneers in the field. He played a crucial role in the development of radioactive isotopes for medical use and the application of radioactive tracers in diagnosing and treating diseases. Lawrence's work laid the foundation for the use of nuclear medicine techniques, such as PET scans and radiotherapy, which have revolutionized modern medicine. His contributions have had a significant impact on the field, earning him the title of the Father of Nuclear Medicine.

    The discovery of Artificial Radioactivity and the production of Radionuclide can be dated back to

    • 1930

    • 1932

    • 1934

    • 1936

    Correct Answer
    A. 1934
    Explanation
    The discovery of Artificial Radioactivity and the production of Radionuclide can be dated back to 1934. This is the year when Irene Joliot-Curie and Frédéric Joliot-Curie successfully created artificial radioactivity by bombarding aluminum with alpha particles. They observed that the resulting radioactive isotope was different from the original element. This discovery was a significant milestone in the field of nuclear chemistry and led to further advancements in the understanding and application of radioactivity.

    The production of Radionuclide by OAK Ridge National Laboratory for Medicine related use was in

    • 1940

    • 1942

    • 1944

    • 1946

    Correct Answer
    A. 1946
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1946. This implies that the production of Radionuclide by OAK Ridge National Laboratory for Medicine related use began in 1946.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The widespread Clinical use of Nuclear Medicine started in what year?

    • 1930s

    • 1940s

    • 1950s

    • 1960s

    Correct Answer
    A. 1950s
    Explanation
    The widespread clinical use of Nuclear Medicine started in the 1950s. This was a significant milestone in the field as it marked the beginning of using radioactive materials for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. During this time, advancements in technology and understanding of nuclear physics allowed for the development of various imaging techniques such as gamma cameras and positron emission tomography (PET). These techniques revolutionized medical imaging by providing detailed information about the structure and function of organs and tissues, leading to improved diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The end result of the Nuclear Medicine Imaging process is

    • X-ray

    • Data Set

    • Output Data

    • Scan

    Correct Answer
    A. Data Set
    Explanation
    The end result of the Nuclear Medicine Imaging process is a Data Set. This is because Nuclear Medicine Imaging involves the use of radioactive materials to create images of the body's organs and tissues. These images are then captured and stored as a Data Set, which can be further analyzed and interpreted by medical professionals to diagnose and treat various conditions. X-ray, Output Data, and Scan are not the correct answers as they do not accurately represent the final result of the Nuclear Medicine Imaging process.
