NUCLEAR MEDICINE EXIT 2026 EXAM
COMPLETE (105) CURRENT TESTING
QUESTIONS AND DETAILED CORRECT
ANSWERS|GUARANTEED PASS.
MEDICINE
Maximize your success with this Nuclear Medicine Exit Exam,
designed to assess comprehensive knowledge and clinical
readiness in nuclear medicine practice. It focuses on imaging
procedures, radiopharmaceuticals, radiation safety, and patient
care principles. The exam strengthens critical thinking and
technical competency required for professional practice.
Suitable for nuclear medicine students preparing for program
completion and certification.
To repair the non-uniformity demonstrated on the intrinsic
uniformity image shown here, the service engineer will need
to:
A. Replace the crystal
B. Replace the photomultiplier tube
C. Replace the X, Y localization components
, Page 2 of 82
D. Repair the collimator ...... ANSWER ....... A. Replace the
crystal
The branching white pattern is caused by a crack and
because no scintillations are occurring in this region. The
dark edges are due to the edge-packing phenomenon.
The best description of a buffer is:
A. A serial acquisition mode
B. A closed loop movie
C. A temporary storage for acquired data
D. A filter for heart rate variations ...... ANSWER ....... C. A
temporary storage for acquired data
A dynamic sequence of images may be displayed as a
continuous-loop movie known as cinematic display. The
images to be displayed are formatted into an area of
memory known as a buffer so that the information can be
retrieved quickly.

The thyroid pathology represented by these images is:
A. Thyroiditis
B. Thyroid carcinoma
C. Multinodular goiter
D. Graves disease ...... ANSWER ....... D. Graves disease
Diffuse toxic goiter (Graves disease) usually presents with
varying degrees of thyromegaly, with notably uniform
distribution of increased activity throughout the thyroid
gland, and often with a prominent pyramidal lobe.
If radioactivity in the circulation from a previous nuclear
medicine test is unaccounted for, results of plasma volume
determination will be:
A. Impossible to predict
B. Unaffected
C. Falsely decreased
D.Falsely elevated ...... ANSWER ....... C. Falsely
decreased
, Page 4 of 82
When residual radioactivity is present in the circulation, it
appears as if the amount of radioactivity injected has been
diluted in a smaller volume than it actually has. Then when a
plasma sample is counted, the counts are relatively high
compared with a sample in which the tracer has been
diluted in a large volume. Or, consider the formula used to
calculate a plasma volume:
PV (ml)= volume injected X cpm in 1 ml std X dilution
_____________________________________________________
cpm in 1 mL plasma
The higher the counts in the plasma sample, the larger the
number in the denominator of the plasma volume formula.
Hence, the smaller the calculated plasma volume.

uniformity image shown here, the service engineer will need
