CCI RCS #1 Exam With 100% Correct
Answers 2023
Tricuspid Atresia - Correct Answer-Absence of tricuspid valve and hypoplastic RV;
requires both ASD and VSD for viability.
ascites - Correct Answer-accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity
What effect would inspiration have on the mitral valve velocity? - Correct Answer-With
inspiration, the mitral valve velocity would increase. Peak mitral inflow velocity can be
used to predict mitral regurgitation severity.
During Inspiration, what increases and decreases - Correct Answer-RA pressure drops,
so more venous return. More blood to lungs, causes less to return to LA, so stroke
Volume is lower.
Which heart chamber is most Anterior? - Correct Answer-right ventricle
Vessels that come off Aortic Arch, in order? - Correct Answer-The innominate vessel
which is same as brachiocephalic artery.
The left common carotid artery
The left subclavian artery which is the distal
Which 2 valves are semilunar? - Correct Answer-aortic and pulmonary
3 basic kinds of problems with heart valves - Correct Answer-1. Atresia
2. Stenosis
3. Regurgitation
aortic aneurysm causes pain where? - Correct Answer-Lower back
Also lower with abdominal.
Chest is caused by Thoracic aneurysm
3 types of aortic aneurysms - Correct Answer-Thoracic, abdominal, and thoracic-
abdominal
LA size is predictor of risk for? - Correct Answer-Atrial Fib
3 aspects of Image resolution - Correct Answer-1. Detail
2. Temporal
3. Contrast
PRF formula - Correct Answer-PRF (Hz) = n x LPF x FR (hz)
,Angiosarcoma usually affect - Correct Answer-Seen usually in RA.
Commonly affect:
Head, face, liver, chest, males, and Heart
Aortic dissection pain usually felt where? - Correct Answer-between shoulders on back,
radiating to arms or neck
If child needs cardiac valve replacement, common procedure is? - Correct Answer-Ross
procedure - uses donor valve but has ability to grow with the child. Surgeon takes PV
and uses it to replace faulty valve, then donor valve to replace PV
What is it called when Systolic function is fine, but Diastolic function is abnormal? -
Correct Answer-Restrictive Cardiomyopathy - during diastole, the V chamber has
trouble filling
When systole ends, normal diameter of LV? - Correct Answer-20 - 40 mm. = 2 - 4 cm
Causes for thinking of bladder wall? - Correct Answer-Polyps
Chronic infection
Neoplasia
Where would a pericardial cyst be found? - Correct Answer-When the technician is
evaluating an echocardiography, a pericardial cyst would typically be found along the
right costophrenic angle. These cysts are rare, but the best angle to view them might be
the subcostal view. If these cysts become large, they have the potential to compress
some of the adjacent structures and cause such symptoms as chest pain, coughing,
and dyspnea.
From week _____, the embryo is considered a fetus? - Correct Answer-NINE = 9
A __________ stroke, is a broken blood vessel of the brain. - Correct Answer-Ischemic.
- NOT hemorrhagic
Becks triade: cardiac tamponade - Correct Answer-Elevated venous pressure
Hypotension
Quiet Heart
With the characteristics of digital memories, regarding the highest number stored, if the
decimal is 63, which of the following would be considered correct for the binary? -
Correct Answer-Regarding the highest number stored, if the decimal is 63 the binary
would be: 111111.Find this by dividing 63 by 2 and recording the remainder.
63/2 is 31 with a remainder of 1
31/2 is 15 with a remainder of 1
15/2 is 7 with a remainder of 1
7/2 is 3 with a remainder of 1
, 3/2 is 1 with a remainder of 1
2/1 is 0 with a remainder of 1
Therefore 63 in binary is 111111
Which of the following terms can also be used interchangeably with transverse wave? -
Correct Answer-The terms SHEER WAVE and TRANSVERSE wave can be used
interchangeably. If there is a sound wave in which the particle motion is perpendicular to
the direction of wave travel, it would be considered a transverse wave (sheer wave).
Which of the following could be used to help prevent issues when advancing the guide
wireless bidirectionnally steerable catheter into the heart? Chest-x-rays Fluoroscopy
Cardiac catheterization Using a short sheath - Correct Answer-Fluoroscopy
When this guide wireless bidirectionally steerable catheter is being inserted into the
heart, a fluoroscopy can be used to help prevent issues. Another practical tip for
preventing issues could be using a long-access sheath to help avoid injuring the pelvic
veins during navigation.
The Windkessel effect would result in which of the following occurring? 1 Continued flow
in the forward direction
2 Intermittent flow in the forward direction
3 No flow in the forward direction
4 A temporary forward flow followed by a backward flow - Correct Answer-Continued
flow in the forward direction
The Windkessel effect would result in the continued flow in the forward direction.
The closure of the aortic valve prevents the backward flow of blood into the heart.
Which of the following would be considered a function of the signal processor?
1 Digitization 2 Time gain compensation 3 Amplitude detection
4 Echoes versus pulsation - Correct Answer-Amplitude detection
There are 3 functions of the signal processor:
Bandpass filtering, Amplitude detection, Compression
In order to increase the number of foci, which of the following would the PRF need to
do?
1. Decrease 2. Remain the same 3. Increase 4. Double - Correct Answer-Increase
In order to increase the number of foci, the PRF needs to increase. PRF stands for
pulse repetition frequency.
The vector array would be considered the combination of which of the following?
1. Crystal array operations
2 Phased array operations
3 Linear array operations
4 Both B and C - Correct Answer-Both B and C
The vector array would be considered the combination of:
Phased array operations
