When do you need to stop breast feeding for Tc-99m?
- A.
Don't need to stop
- B.
0-24 hrs
- C.
1-4 weeks
- D.
Stop for remainder of pregnancy
Correct Answer
B. 0-24 hrsExplanation
Breastfeeding should be stopped for 0-24 hours after receiving Tc-99m. This is because Tc-99m is a radioactive material used in medical imaging, and it is important to minimize the exposure of the infant to radiation. By stopping breastfeeding for this period, the mother can ensure that the radioactive material is cleared from her body, reducing the risk of radiation exposure to the baby.Rate this question:

The maximum permissible whole body dose to an occupationally exposed individual for one year and to a declared pregnant worker for the 9 months of gestation are, respectively:
- A.
500 mRem, 100 mRem
- B.
1000 mRem, 500 mRem
- C.
5000 mRem, 500 mRem
- D.
A pregnant worker is not permitted to work with radiation until after the birth of her baby
Correct Answer
C. 5000 mRem, 500 mRemExplanation
The maximum permissible whole body dose to an occupationally exposed individual for one year is 5000 mRem, while the maximum permissible dose for a declared pregnant worker for the 9 months of gestation is 500 mRem. This means that the allowed radiation exposure for a pregnant worker is significantly lower than that for a non-pregnant individual. This is because radiation can potentially harm the developing fetus, so extra precautions are taken to ensure the safety of pregnant workers.Rate this question:

Our occupational dose limits for whole body and extremities are, respectively:
- A.
5 Rem and 50 Rem
- B.
50 Rem and 5 Rem
- C.
15 Rem and 50 Rem
- D.
5 Rem and 15 Rem
Correct Answer
A. 5 Rem and 50 RemExplanation
The correct answer is 5 Rem and 50 Rem. Occupational dose limits refer to the maximum amount of radiation exposure that a person can receive while working in a radiation-related occupation. The limits for whole body and extremities are different because different parts of the body have different sensitivities to radiation. The limit for whole body exposure is set at 5 Rem, while the limit for extremity exposure is set at 50 Rem. This means that a person can be exposed to up to 5 Rem of radiation throughout their entire body, but up to 50 Rem of radiation in a specific extremity, such as a hand or foot.Rate this question:

How often do you need to check constancy?
- A.
At installation and daily
- B.
At installation and quarterly
- C.
At installation and annually
- D.
At installation and after any repairs
Correct Answer
A. At installation and dailyExplanation
Checking constancy is necessary to ensure that something remains consistent over time. At installation, it is important to verify that the constancy is set correctly. Checking daily is necessary because constancy can be affected by various factors such as wear and tear, environmental conditions, or other changes that may occur on a daily basis. Regular daily checks help to identify any deviations or issues that may arise and allow for prompt corrective actions. Therefore, checking at installation and daily ensures that constancy is continuously monitored and maintained.Rate this question:

- C.
Metallic objects may be tested for ferromagnetism by the technologist with a hand-held magnet; if not ferromagnetic, they may be allowed in the scan room
- D.
Most equipment used in an exam is MRI compatible so there is really no reason to worry about this
Correct Answer
C. Metallic objects may be tested for ferromagnetism by the technologist with a hand-held magnet; if not ferromagnetic, they may be allowed in the scan roomExplanation
Small items like paper clips or hair pins can have a velocity of about 40mph in a 3T environment. Larger objects have even higher velocities and have become fatal. Many types of clinical equipment are ferromagnetic and should never be brought into the scan room. If there is any question a handheld magnet can be used to test if an object is ferromagnetic or not.Rate this question:

There are two real safety concerns with regard to the magnetic forces and how they interact with ferrous objects. They can be described as which of the following:
- A.
Translation and Magnetization of the object
- B.
Transverse and Rotation of the object
- C.
Translation and Torque of the object

FALSE regarding contrast radiography
- A.
Jejunum has feathery appearance
- B.
Ileum is featureless
- C.
Colon shows asymmetric haustrae.
- D.
Distal duodenum shows a cap like appearance
Correct Answer
D. Distal duodenum shows a cap like appearanceExplanation
The distal duodenum showing a cap-like appearance is false regarding contrast radiography. Contrast radiography is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses a contrast agent to visualize the gastrointestinal tract. In contrast radiography, the jejunum typically appears feathery due to its numerous circular folds called plicae circulares. The ileum, on the other hand, appears featureless as it lacks prominent circular folds. The colon shows asymmetric haustrae, which are pouch-like segments. However, the distal duodenum does not exhibit a cap-like appearance in contrast radiography.Rate this question:

Which is NOT a pure beta emitter ?
- A.
Yttrium-90
- B.
Phosphorus-32
- C.
Strontium- 89
- D.
Samarium 135
Correct Answer
D. Samarium 135Explanation
Samarium 135 is not a pure beta emitter because it undergoes both beta decay and gamma decay. Beta decay involves the emission of beta particles (electrons or positrons) from the nucleus, while gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, which are high-energy photons. Yttrium-90, Phosphorus-32, and Strontium-89 are pure beta emitters as they only undergo beta decay without any accompanying gamma decay.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Oligaemic lung fieldsExplanation
In left ventricular failure, there is an inadequate pumping of blood from the left ventricle, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs. This results in various characteristic findings on imaging. Kerley B lines are horizontal lines seen on chest X-rays, indicating fluid in the interlobular septa of the lungs. Increased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is a measure of the pressure in the left atrium and reflects fluid backup in the lungs. Increased vascularity in the upper lobes is a compensatory mechanism due to the redistribution of blood flow. Oligaemic lung fields, on the other hand, refer to decreased blood flow to the lungs, which is not typically seen in left ventricular failure.Rate this question:

Gold standard investigation for recurrent gastrointensinal stromal tumour is
- A.
MRI
- B.
MIBG
- C.
USG
- D.
PET
Correct Answer
D. PETExplanation
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is considered the gold standard investigation for recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). PET scans use a radioactive tracer to detect cellular activity and can identify areas of abnormal metabolic activity, helping to determine the presence and extent of recurrent tumors. This imaging technique is particularly useful in detecting small lesions, evaluating treatment response, and guiding further management decisions. MRI, MIBG, and USG are also imaging modalities used in the evaluation of GISTs, but PET has shown to be more accurate and sensitive in detecting recurrent disease.Rate this question:

USG gall bladder shows diffuse wall thickening with hyperechoic nodule at neck with comet tail artifacts. The most likely diagnosis is
- A.
Adenomyomatosis
- B.
Adenocarcinoma of gall bladder
- C.
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis
- D.
Porcelain gall bladder
Correct Answer
A. AdenomyomatosisExplanation
The given ultrasound findings of diffuse wall thickening with a hyperechoic nodule at the neck, along with comet tail artifacts, are suggestive of adenomyomatosis. Adenomyomatosis is a benign condition characterized by hyperplastic changes in the gallbladder wall, resulting in the formation of small outpouchings called Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses. The hyperechoic nodule represents cholesterol deposits within these sinuses, and the comet tail artifacts are caused by the reflection of sound waves from the cholesterol crystals. Adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder would typically present with focal wall thickening and may have associated features such as gallbladder wall invasion or lymphadenopathy. Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and porcelain gall bladder would also have distinct ultrasound findings.Rate this question:
