    Proper collimation for the film size and target film distance will

    • Increase the kvp

    • Decrease the wavelength

    • Decrease the radiation received by the patient

    • Increase the wavelegh

    Correct Answer
    A. Decrease the radiation received by the patient
    Explanation
    Proper collimation for the film size and target film distance will decrease the radiation received by the patient. This is because collimation helps to limit the size of the x-ray beam to match the size of the film being used, reducing unnecessary exposure to radiation for the patient. By narrowing the beam, collimation also helps to reduce scatter radiation, further decreasing the radiation dose received by the patient. Therefore, proper collimation is crucial in ensuring patient safety during radiographic procedures.

    Structures closer to the x-ray film appear larger

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Structures closer to the x-ray film do not appear larger. In fact, the opposite is true. When an object is closer to the x-ray film, it appears smaller because it is magnified less. This is due to the inverse square law, which states that the intensity of radiation decreases as the distance from the source increases. Therefore, structures that are closer to the x-ray film will appear smaller, not larger.

    • Pneumonia

    • Collapse

    • Pleural effusion

    Correct Answer
    A. Collapse
    Explanation
    Collapse refers to a condition where the lung partially or completely collapses due to the accumulation of air or gas in the pleural cavity. This can occur due to various reasons such as trauma, underlying lung diseases, or a ruptured air sac. Symptoms of collapse include sudden sharp chest pain, difficulty breathing, and decreased breath sounds on the affected side. It is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention to reinflate the lung and prevent further complications.

    this is?

    • Atelectasis

    • Pneumothorax

    • Emphysema

    • Acute PE

    Correct Answer
    A. Pneumothorax
    Explanation
    A pneumothorax is a condition in which air accumulates in the space between the lungs and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This can result in symptoms such as sudden sharp chest pain, shortness of breath, and decreased breath sounds on one side of the chest. Atelectasis refers to the collapse or incomplete expansion of a lung or a portion of it, which can also cause symptoms similar to pneumothorax. Emphysema is a lung condition characterized by damage to the air sacs in the lungs, leading to difficulty in breathing. Acute PE (pulmonary embolism) refers to a blockage in the pulmonary artery, usually caused by a blood clot. While all of these conditions can cause respiratory symptoms, the most likely explanation for the given answer is pneumothorax due to the mention of air accumulation in the chest.

    Which of the following factors and their effect on the heart's appearance are paired  correctly?

    • Mediastinal shift: appearant enlargement

    • COPD: Masked enlargement

    • Scoliosis: masked enlargement

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. COPD: Masked enlargement
    Explanation
    COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a lung disease that causes airflow obstruction and difficulty breathing. In COPD, the lungs are often hyperinflated, which can push the diaphragm downwards and cause the heart to appear enlarged on imaging. However, this enlargement is often masked due to the increased lung size. Therefore, the pairing of COPD with masked enlargement of the heart is correct.

    This condition begins with? - ProProfs

    This condition begins with?

    • Interstitial pattern in upper lobes

    • Calcification and shift of fissures

    • Hilar node displacement

    • Decreased vasularity of periphery

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Interstitial pattern in upper lobes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "interstitial pattern in upper lobes." This means that the condition being referred to starts with the presence of an interstitial pattern in the upper lobes of the lungs. An interstitial pattern refers to abnormalities in the lung tissue that can be seen on imaging studies. This finding suggests that there may be inflammation or scarring in the lung tissue, which can be indicative of various lung diseases or conditions.

    this image is most significant for? - ProProfs

    this image is most significant for?

    • Blood and fluid in lungs

    • Pneumonia of LUL

    • Emphysema

    • Tumor or granulomas

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood and fluid in lungs
    Explanation
    This image is most significant for blood and fluid in the lungs because it shows the presence of abnormal accumulation of fluid and blood in the lungs. This could indicate a condition such as pulmonary edema, which is characterized by fluid buildup in the lungs, or a pulmonary hemorrhage, which involves bleeding in the lungs. Both of these conditions can be serious and require medical attention.
