Questions and Answers
- 1.
WHAT IS ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT DIAGNOSTIC QUALITY?
- A.
A SPRINTER
- B.
VICTIMS
- C.
RADIOGRAPHS
- D.
MOTION
Correct Answer
D. MOTIONExplanation
Motion is one of the factors that can affect diagnostic quality. When there is motion during the imaging process, such as a patient moving or breathing, it can cause blurring or distortion in the resulting radiographs. This can make it difficult for healthcare professionals to accurately interpret the images and make an accurate diagnosis. Therefore, minimizing motion is important to ensure high-quality diagnostic images.Rate this question:

- B.
TO PLACE IR ON TOP OF
- C.
TO HELP HOLD LIMB STILL
Correct Answer
C. TO HELP HOLD LIMB STILLExplanation
A sandbag can be used to help hold a limb still. This is often done during medical procedures or treatments where it is necessary to immobilize a specific body part. By placing a sandbag on or around the limb, it provides support and prevents any movement or shifting that could interfere with the procedure or cause discomfort to the patient.Rate this question:

WHAT MOTION CAN BE CONTROLLED BY THE PATIENT..
- A.
VOLUNTARY
- B.
INVOLUNTARY
Correct Answer
A. VOLUNTARYExplanation
Voluntary motion refers to movements that are under the conscious control of the patient. This means that the patient can initiate, modify, or stop these movements at will. Examples of voluntary motion include walking, reaching for objects, or speaking. In contrast, involuntary motion refers to movements that are not consciously controlled by the patient. These movements occur automatically and are typically regulated by the nervous system. Examples of involuntary motion include heartbeat, digestion, or reflex actions.Rate this question:

WHAT CAN A TECH DO TO MINIMIZE VOLUNTARY MOTION?
- A.
TELL THE PT TO BREATHE IN
- B.
TELL THE PT TO BREATHE OUT
- C.
COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY
Correct Answer
C. COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELYExplanation
To minimize voluntary motion, a tech can communicate effectively with the patient. By providing clear instructions and explanations, the tech can ensure that the patient understands what is expected of them and how they should cooperate during the procedure. Effective communication can help alleviate any anxiety or confusion the patient may have, leading to a more relaxed and still position, thus minimizing voluntary motion.Rate this question:

THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION IS BETWEEN THE
- A.
RADIOLOGIST AND TECHNOLOGIST
- B.
TECHNOLOGIST AND PATIENT
- C.
NURSE AND TECHNOLOGIST
Correct Answer
B. TECHNOLOGIST AND PATIENTExplanation
The most important communication is between the technologist and the patient because the technologist is responsible for explaining the procedure to the patient, addressing any concerns or questions they may have, and ensuring their comfort and cooperation during the imaging process. Effective communication between the technologist and the patient is crucial for obtaining accurate medical images and providing quality patient care.Rate this question:

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON METHODS OF REDUCING PT MOTION IS
- A.
COMMUNICATION
- B.
USING SPONGES
- C.
USING SANDBAGS
Correct Answer
B. USING SPONGESExplanation
Using sponges is one of the most common methods of reducing patient motion. Sponges can be placed strategically to provide support and stability to the patient, preventing unnecessary movement during medical procedures. They can be used to fill gaps and spaces, ensuring that the patient remains in the desired position. Sponges are soft and flexible, making them comfortable for the patient while effectively minimizing motion.Rate this question:

A PEDIATRIC PATIENT COMES IN FOR LATERAL CHEST POSITION WHAT WOULD BE the best IMMOBILIZER
- A.
VELCO STRAPS
- B.
SANDBAGS
- C.
SPONGES
- D.
PIGG-O-STAT
Correct Answer
A. VELCO STRAPSExplanation
Velcro straps would be the best immobilizer for a pediatric patient in a lateral chest position. Velcro straps are adjustable and can be securely fastened around the patient's chest to provide immobilization and support. They are easy to use and can be quickly adjusted to fit the patient's size and comfort level. Velcro straps also allow for easy removal and repositioning if necessary during the procedure.Rate this question:

SHEET RESTRAINTS CAN BE USED UPTO WHAT AGE?
- A.
4 -5
- B.
1-2
- C.
UNDER 1
- D.
UP TO 3
Correct Answer
A. 4 -5Explanation
Sheet restraints can be used up to the age of 4-5. This means that sheet restraints are suitable for children who are between the ages of 4 and 5 years old. It is important to use sheet restraints within the recommended age range to ensure the safety and comfort of the child. Using sheet restraints beyond this age range may not provide the desired level of effectiveness and could potentially pose risks.Rate this question:

WHICH ONE BELOW IS A COMMERCIAL RESTRAINT?
- A.
SHEET RESTRAINT
- B.
PIGG-OSTAT
- C.
VELCO STRAPS
Correct Answer
B. PIGG-OSTATExplanation
A commercial restraint refers to a product or device that is used to secure or restrict movement of objects in a commercial setting. In this case, both "Sheet Restraint" and "Velco Straps" do not specifically indicate their commercial use or purpose. However, "PIGG-OSTAT" stands out as a commercial restraint as it is a specific brand or type of device commonly used in commercial settings to secure or restrain objects.Rate this question:

WHICH ONE IS THE PIGG-OSTAT?
- A.
RESTRAINT BOARD
- B.
UPRIGHT RESTRAINT
Correct Answer
B. UPRIGHT RESTRAINTExplanation
The upright restraint is the pigg-ostat because it is the only option that is specifically mentioned in the question. The question asks which one is the pigg-ostat, and the only option that matches that description is the upright restraint. The other option, the restraint board, is not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be the correct answer.Rate this question:

WHAT IS A DISADVANTAGE OF THE PIGG
- A.
ARTIFACTS
- B.
DISCOMFORT
- C.
ROTATION
Correct Answer
A. ARTIFACTSExplanation
Artifacts can be considered a disadvantage of the PIGG. Artifacts are unwanted signals or interference that can be introduced during the imaging process, resulting in a loss of image quality and accuracy. These artifacts can obscure important details and make it difficult to interpret the images correctly. Therefore, the presence of artifacts can be seen as a disadvantage as it can hinder the effectiveness and reliability of the PIGG technique.Rate this question:

LOWER EXTR
- C.
UPRIGHT CHEST & AB EXAMS
Correct Answer
C. UPRIGHT CHEST & AB EXAMSExplanation
The Pigg-O-Stat is a device commonly used in pediatric radiology to immobilize children during X-ray exams. It helps to keep the child in a stable and upright position, reducing the need for retakes and ensuring clear and accurate images. In the case of upright chest and abdominal exams, the Pigg-O-Stat can be particularly useful as it allows for precise positioning and immobilization of the child, resulting in high-quality diagnostic images.Rate this question:

WHAT IS THE DISADVANTAGE OF A REGULAR RESTRAINT BOARD VS. OCTASTOP
- A.
WEIGHT
- B.
STRENGHTH OF RESTRAINT
- C.
HEIGHT
- D.
SIZE
Correct Answer
D. SIZEExplanation
The disadvantage of a regular restraint board compared to Octastop is its size. This implies that regular restraint boards are larger or bulkier than Octastop. This can be a disadvantage as larger boards may be more difficult to transport or store, and may require more space to set up. In contrast, Octastop boards are likely smaller in size, making them more convenient and easier to handle.Rate this question:

THE OCTASTOP CAN IMMOBILIZE INFANTS...
- A.
UPTO 3
- B.
4-5
- C.
UPTO 1
- D.
5 & UNDER
Correct Answer
C. UPTO 1Explanation
The given answer "UPTO 1" suggests that the Octastop can immobilize infants up to the age of 1. This implies that the Octastop is designed to safely restrict the movement of infants who are under a year old. It is likely that the Octastop provides a secure and controlled environment for infants to prevent them from wandering or getting into potentially dangerous situations.Rate this question:

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO IMMOBILIZE HANDS, FINGERS,FEET ON INFANT
- A.
RADIOLUCENT PLEXIGLAS
- B.
PIGG-O-STAT
- C.
OCTASTOP
- D.
ANY RESTRAINT BOARD
Correct Answer
A. RADIOLUCENT PLEXIGLASExplanation
Radiolucent plexiglass is the best way to immobilize hands, fingers, and feet on an infant because it is a transparent material that allows X-rays to pass through. This means that medical professionals can still obtain clear images while the infant's limbs are immobilized. The use of radiolucent plexiglass ensures accurate diagnosis and treatment without compromising the safety and comfort of the infant.Rate this question:
