DPT 712: DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING- MC QUESTIONS FROM THE
BOOK AND COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100% VERIFIED
If an image has a repetition time to 600 and a time to echo of 25, this would be an
example of?
T1-weighted image
The ABCs of systematically evaluating a radiographic image are alignment, bone
density, cartilage spaces and ______________________
soft tissues
Cerebral spinal fluid on MRI appears as __________________ on T1 vs
___________________ on T2?
dark on T1 and bright on T2-weighted images
The main goal of the Clinical Decision Rules that have been developed for
radiology is:
to guide clinicians in determining if radiographs are necessary for trauma- related
injuries
A patient with a history of being a metal worker may be contraindicated from
receiving which type of imaging study?
MRI
The primary benefit of images acquired via diagnostic ultrasound compared to
plain film, CT scans or most standard MRI is that diagnostic ultrasound:
produces a dynamic real time image (moment to moment changes)
, When x-rays pass through the body, they strike the film plate in different
intensities. If all of the rays are absorbed by the body, the resulting image on the
film will appear:
white
Nuclear imaging differs from other forms of traditional imaging in that
____________________
it focused on function of tissues vs the structural anatomy
On a plain film radiograph, a narrow joint space is most likely indicative of:
degenerative joint disease
Ottowa ankle rules state that a series of ankle radiographs is required only if
there is any pain in the malleolar zone and any of these findings:
bone tenderness at the posterior edge or tip of the medial malleolus
You are evaluating a patient who reports right sided low back pain with tingling in
the anterior-lateral shin and dorsal surfaces of the 2nd and 3rd toes. Your clinical
examination reveals decreased sensation in a similar distribution pattern, Which
of the following MRI reports would be consistent with this presentation?
a. right posterior-lateral disc herniation at L4-L5
b. right far lateral disc-herniation at L4-L5
c. right posterior lateral disc herniation at L5-S1
d. left posterior-lateral disc herniation at L5-S1
A. right posterior-lateral disc herniation at L4-L5
You are evaluating a 40 year old male via direct access who was hit in the upper
back with a can of pain that fell off a ladder while he was bent over. He complains
