This contrast study allows for visualization of oral cavity and pharynx, assessment of manipulation of food bolus, swallowing effectively and is indicated for Oropharangeal dysphagia and recurrent aspiration pneumonia Barium Swallow/Esophagram CT scan Video Esophagram None of the Above

4)   This contrast study uses fluoroscopy and is used to detect esophageal rings, webs, strictures, motility problems that endoscopy might miss. Very useful for evaluating nonoropharangeal dysphagia as well as Odynophagia.   a. Barium Swallow/Esophagram   b. CT scan   c. Video Esophagram   d. None of the above

This modality is the Gold standard of assessment and diagnosis of Acute Abdomen and it is used to rule out acute pancreatitis, appendicitis, SBO and Colitis. MRCP Abdominal CT Upper GI series Lower GI series

4)   CT enteroclysis and enterography are modalities used to evaluate what   a. Large intestine   b. Rectum   c. Esophagus   d. Small intestine

  This modality allows for visualization of the jejunum & ileum and is indicated for suspected small bowel obstruction or partial obstruction from any cause, Crohns disease and Obscure GI loss a. Upper GI series b. CT enterography c. Small bowel follow through d. ERCP

4)   This imaging modality allows for visualization of the colonic lumen and is very sensitive for detecting polyps, it is also used in the setting of an incomplete endoscopic colonoscopy   a. MRCP   b. CT Colography (virtual Colonoscopy)   c. CT enterography   d. Colonoscopy

4)   This imaging modality is the MRI of the biliary and pancreatic ducts and fails to visualize small bile duct stones less than 4 mm   a. MRI of abdomen   b. MRCP   c. MRA   d. MRSB

4)    CT Enterography modality is useful in evaluating   a. Vascular leaks   b. Aneurysms   c. IBD   d. Bowel infarctions

4)   The first imaging study obtained in evaluation of suspected biliary colic, jaundice and abnormal liver tests, it is also used to guide needle placement for biopsy or fluid aspiration   a. MRA   b. Transabdominal Ultrasound   c. Edoscopy Ultrasound   d. Abdominal CT
