1. _______, means the contrast is injected into a vein.

Explanation

The term "intravenous" refers to the administration of a substance directly into a vein. This method allows for rapid absorption and distribution of the substance throughout the body. In contrast, extravasation and infiltration refer to the unintended leakage of a substance outside of the vein, which can cause local tissue damage. "PO" stands for "per os" or "by mouth," indicating that the substance is taken orally. Therefore, the correct answer is "Intravenous."

Explanation

The correct answer is IV, Oral, and Rectal. This means that contrast can be administered intravenously (IV), orally, and rectally. Intravenous administration involves injecting the contrast directly into a vein, while oral administration involves swallowing the contrast agent in liquid or pill form. Rectal administration involves inserting the contrast agent into the rectum. These different routes of administration allow for flexibility in delivering contrast depending on the specific medical procedure and patient's needs.

Submit
27. The higher the iodine concentration is, the more _______ the contrast agent becomes.  

Explanation

As the iodine concentration increases, the viscosity of the contrast agent increases. Viscosity refers to the thickness or stickiness of a substance. In this case, a higher iodine concentration leads to a thicker or more viscous contrast agent. This can be beneficial in certain medical procedures where a thicker agent is needed to provide better visibility or to slow down the flow of the contrast agent through the body.

Submit
28. CT scanners contain what type of collimators:

Explanation

CT scanners contain both pre and post patient collimators. Pre patient collimators are located before the patient and help to shape the X-ray beam before it enters the patient's body. They are used to limit the radiation exposure to the patient and improve image quality. Post patient collimators, on the other hand, are located after the patient and help to further shape the X-ray beam before it reaches the detector. They are used to reduce scatter radiation and improve image resolution. Having both types of collimators allows for better control and optimization of the X-ray beam during the scanning process.

Submit
29. Preprocessed CT data is referrred to as_____

Explanation

Preprocessed CT data refers to the original, unaltered data obtained from the CT scan before any manipulation or enhancement. This raw data is the initial information collected by the CT scanner, which is then processed and reconstructed to create the final image. It is called raw data because it has not undergone any modifications or adjustments yet.

Submit
30. Spatial resolution describes the degree of blurring in an image and is a measure of how small an object can be imaged.

Explanation

Spatial resolution refers to the level of detail that can be captured or resolved in an image. It is a measure of the smallest object or feature that can be distinguished in the image. Therefore, a higher spatial resolution means that smaller objects can be imaged and distinguished more clearly, while a lower spatial resolution results in more blurring and less detail in the image. Therefore, the statement "Spatial resolution describes the degree of blurring in an image and is a measure of how small an object can be imaged" is true.

Submit
31. Acute renal faliure occurs after all IV contrast injections

Explanation

Acute renal failure does not occur after all IV contrast injections. While IV contrast injections can potentially cause acute renal failure in some individuals, it does not happen in all cases. The risk of developing acute renal failure after an IV contrast injection depends on various factors such as the individual's pre-existing kidney function, hydration status, and the type and amount of contrast used. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that acute renal failure occurs after all IV contrast injections.

Submit
32. Window width (WW) determines the maximun ________ that can be displayed on the CT monitor.  

Explanation

The window width (WW) determines the maximum range of shades of gray that can be displayed on the CT monitor. A wider window width allows for a greater range of gray shades to be displayed, while a narrower window width limits the range. This is important in medical imaging as it allows for better visualization and differentiation of different tissues or structures within the image.
