,1. Which diagnostic imaging technique uses a magnetic field and
radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues?
- A) X-ray
- B) CT Scan
- C) MRI
- D) Ultrasound
- Answer: C) MRI
- Rationale: MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a
magnetic field and radio waves, making it ideal for imaging soft
tissues.
2. What is the primary purpose of a biopsy in advanced
diagnostics?
- A) To determine medication efficacy
- B) To extract fluids from the body
- C) To remove a tumor
- D) To obtain tissue for histological examination
- Answer: D) To obtain tissue for histological examination

, - Rationale: A biopsy allows for pathological examination of
tissues, which is crucial for diagnosing conditions like cancer.
3. Which advanced therapeutic procedure is used to treat life-
threatening ventricular arrhythmias?
- A) Dialysis
- B) Cardioversion
- C) Coronary Angioplasty
- D) Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) insertion
- Answer: D) Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD)
insertion
- Rationale: An ICD is designed to detect and treat abnormal
heart rhythms that can be life-threatening.
4. In pharmacotherapy, what does 'bioavailability' refer to?
- A) The total amount of drug in the body
- B) The fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that
reaches systemic circulation
- C) The rate of metabolism of a drug
- D) The quantity of drug that is excreted
- Answer: B) The fraction of an administered dose of
unchanged drug that reaches systemic circulation
