Nuclear Medicine primarily differs from other imaging modalities in that it looks at______as
opposed to __________. - ANsWeR-Physiology; anatomy
Nuclear Medicineuses_______________to__________and________________disease. -
ANsWeR-radiopharmaceuticals; diagnose; treat
What kind of equipment do we use in Nuclear Medicine to image patients? - ANsWeR-Gamma
cameras
Nuclear Medicine applications include
a. _________________________________
b. __________________________________
c. __________________________________ - ANsWeR-Bone scans, lung scans, and brain
scans
___________________ imaging uses CT and PET to show both _________________structure
of CT with ______________________ metabolic imaging of PET. - ANsWeR-Fusion,
Anatomical, functional
PET stands for: - ANsWeR-Position Emission Tomography
ALARA stands for ________________________________ and the purpose of practicing
ALARA standards is :_____________________________ - ANsWeR-as low as reasonably
achievable; the principles of ALARA (time, distance, and shielding) are designed to minimize
radiation exposure to both the nuclear medicine technologist and the patient.
, The person(s) who discovered radioactivity was(were):
a. Henri Becquerel
b. Marie and Pierre Curie
c. Irene Joliet Curie
d. John Lawrence
e. None of the above - ANsWeR-B. Marie and Pierre Curie
What is the difference between diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine? - ANsWeR-
diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures show where and what type of disease is present. A
therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures treated or cues the disease using
radiopharmaceutical.
Nuclear medicine is primarily useful for evaluating______________or __________While other
imaging modalities (x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MR) are better
atevaluating______________________. - ANsWeR-Metabolism or physiology; structure
Besides administering radiopharmaceuticals and imaging, what are some other duties of a
nuclear medicine technologist? - ANsWeR-may administer adjunct, (non radioactive drugs), take
patient vital signs, administer oxygen, start intravenous lines and other nursing duties.
What is the most commonly used radiopharmaceutical used in PET or PET/CT imaging? -
ANsWeR-fluorine 18 FDG is the most commonly used in PET radiopharmaceutical
SPECT stands for _________________ and is superior to conventional gamma imaging
because__________ - ANsWeR-Single photon emitted computed tomography.it gives greater
resolution and information that conventional 2 dimensional gamma imaging.
Nuclear medicine molecular imaging provides information on what is happening
atthe____________or ______________________level. - ANsWeR-changes at molecular level
