What is an invasive procedure? - ANS A diagnostic or therapeutic technique that requires
entry of a body cavity or interruption of normal body functions.
5 examples of procedures that require informed consent are.. - ANS 1. Venogram
2. Lumbar puncture
3. Myelogram
4. Angiogram
5. Hysterosalpinogram
3 examples of risks/complications for lumbar punctures are... - ANS Infections, Spinal
headaches, Severe allergic reactions
1 @COPYRIGHT 2025/2026 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED.
,Examples of Advanced Equipment Requirements are... - ANS Island-type of table with multi-
directional movement, flat detector digital fluoroscopy, high heat load capacity generators, and
physiologic monitoring
Advantages of biplane equipment are... - ANS reduction of procedure time, reduction of
contrast media, and the ability to acquire images in both the PA and lateral perspectives at
once.
The correct order of the steps comprising Seldinger technique is:
1. Insertion of needle
2. Insertion of guidewire
3. Placement of needle into vessel lumen
4. Removal of needle
5. Removal of guidewire
6. Passage of catheter to vessel of interest
A. 1, 2, 5, 3, 4, 6
B. 1, 3, 2, 4, 6, 5
C. 1, 3, 4, 2, 5, 6
D. 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 6 - ANS B. 1, 3, 2, 4, 6, 5
(Insertion of needle, placement of needle into lumen, insertion of guidewire, removal of needle,
passage of catheter, removal of guidewire)
What is the name of the technique commonly used to introduce a catheter into a vessel? -
ANS Seldinger technique
Define Seldinger technique - ANS A percutaneous technique that can be used for arterial or
venous access as well as access to other structures. This is also the name of a needle.

, What is the purpose of a Automatic Electromechanical Contrast Media Injector? - ANS To
provides a consistent delivery amount (bolus) of contrast media to the patient
Name 4 procedures that could utilize the seldinger technique - ANS Nephrostomy, Cerebral
angioplasty, Stent-graft placement, & Angioplasty
What is affected by: the viscosity of contrast, length and diameter of the catheter, and injection
pressure among others - ANS Flow rate
Name 4 differences between veins and arteries - ANS 1. Veins flow under low pressure--
arteries under high pressure
2. Veins carry DE-oxygenated blood to hear--arteries carry oxygenated blood from heart
3. Veins have thin, non-elastic walls--arteries are thick & elastic
4. Veins have valves--arteries do not
ALSO- arteries pulse, veins do not
Which vessel is the preferred site for arterial puncture for most angiography?
A. Femoral artery
B. Subclavian artery
C. Brachial artery
D. External iliac artery - ANS A. Femoral artery (because it's much longer)
True or False: thrombosis is an example of a nonvascular interventional procedure. -
ANS False
True or False: nephrostomy is an example of a nonvascular interventional procedure. -
ANS True
Contraindications to angiography include... (3) - ANS Contrast media allergy, blood clotting, &
impaired renal function
