  • 2. 

    If a radiopharmaceutical is spilled on the floor, the first priority is to:

    • Contact the Radiation Safety Officer

    • Pour a chelating solution over the area of the spill

    • Cover the area with absorbent paper and restrict access around it

    • Call the housekeeping department to arrange for cleaning

    Correct Answer
    A. Cover the area with absorbent paper and restrict access around it
    Explanation
    In the event of a radiopharmaceutical spill, the first priority is to cover the area with absorbent paper and restrict access around it. This is important to prevent further spread of the spill and to minimize the potential for contamination. Contacting the Radiation Safety Officer would be the next step, as they are trained to handle such situations and can provide guidance on proper cleanup procedures. Pouring a chelating solution over the spill may be necessary depending on the specific radiopharmaceutical involved, but it is not the immediate first priority. Calling the housekeeping department to arrange for cleaning can be done after the initial steps have been taken to ensure safety.

    Diuretic (Lasix) causes fast emptying of a normal kidney, but it has minimal effect on a kidney that is obstructed.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Diuretic (Lasix) is a medication that promotes the production of urine and helps in the elimination of excess fluid from the body. It works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production. In a normal kidney, diuretics like Lasix can cause fast emptying of the urine, as it enhances the filtration process. However, in a kidney that is obstructed, such as in the case of a blockage or a urinary stone, the diuretic has minimal effect as the obstruction hinders the normal flow of urine. Therefore, the statement that diuretics cause fast emptying of a normal kidney but have minimal effect on an obstructed kidney is true.

    Cimetidine is a pharmacological used in :

    • Gastric Empty

    • Protein loos

    • Protein loos

    • Meckel’s diverticulum

    Correct Answer
    A. Meckel’s diverticulum
    Explanation
    This pharmacological agent is used as a mean of improving the detection of Meckel’s diverticulum by blocking the secretion of pertechnetate from gastric mucosa, thus improving the lesion to background ratio

    In a GI bleeding scan with labeled RBC, you notice a gastric activity, suspect it is a result of free pertechnetate. What could be done to confirm that?

    • Reimage the patient in other position

    • Change the window around the photo peak

    • Image the thyroid

    • Let the patient drink water and empty bladder

    Correct Answer
    A. Image the thyroid
    Explanation
    Poor RBC labeling technique and drugs interfering with efficient RBC labeling increase free 99mTc-pertechnetate in the blood pool, which in turn produces artifacts. Free 99mTc-pertechnetate can be visible in the upper GI tract due to salivary gland and/or gastric secretion. Neck images can help to determine the source of the artifact.

    What happens to image resolution if you decrease the distance between a patient and a parallel collimator ?

    • Blur the image

    • Improves

    • Worsens

    • Does not change

    Correct Answer
    A. Improves
    Explanation

    What is the main purpose of hydration and voiding after an injection in a bone scan?

    • Reduce the radiation dose to the bladder

    • Reduce the possibility of urine contamination

    • Minimize the chance that the patient will ask to go to the bathroom

    • Better image quality

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduce the radiation dose to the bladder
    Explanation
    After an injection in a bone scan, hydration and voiding help to reduce the radiation dose to the bladder. This is because when the patient drinks plenty of fluids and empties their bladder before the scan, it helps to dilute any radioactive material that may have been excreted into the bladder. By reducing the concentration of radioactive material in the bladder, the radiation dose to the bladder is minimized, thereby reducing the potential harm to the bladder tissue.

    In a renogram scan, the injection of the Lasix after 15min from the radiopharmaceutical if the patient is pediatric

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In a renogram scan, the injection of Lasix (a diuretic medication) after 15 minutes from the radiopharmaceutical is not specific to pediatric patients. This practice is followed for all patients, regardless of their age. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Following injection of 99mTc MAA for a perfusion lung scan, activity is seen in the kidneys and brain. This is indicative of: - ProProfs

    Following injection of 99mTc MAA for a perfusion lung scan, activity is seen in the kidneys and brain. This is indicative of:

    • Right to left cardiac shunt

    • Renal failure

    • Congestive heart failure

    • Incorrect particle size

    Correct Answer
    A. Right to left cardiac shunt
    Explanation
    The presence of activity in the kidneys and brain after injection of 99mTc MAA suggests a right to left cardiac shunt. In a normal perfusion lung scan, the particles should be trapped in the pulmonary capillaries and not reach the systemic circulation. However, in the case of a right to left cardiac shunt, there is a direct communication between the right and left sides of the heart, allowing the particles to bypass the lungs and reach other organs such as the kidneys and brain. This can be indicative of a congenital heart defect or other conditions that cause abnormal blood flow within the heart.

    The least activity distribution in a normal FDG would be in the:

    • Brain

    • Bladder

    • Bone

    • Myocardium

    Correct Answer
    A. Bone
    Explanation
    The least activity distribution in a normal FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) would be in the bone. FDG is a radiopharmaceutical that is used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans to measure glucose metabolism in the body. Glucose metabolism is typically higher in organs and tissues with high metabolic activity, such as the brain, bladder, and myocardium. However, bones have relatively lower metabolic activity compared to other organs, resulting in less FDG uptake and activity distribution in bone.
