Which of the following are correct with regard to attenuation of X-ray photons? a. The Compton effect refers to the interaction of X-ray photons with free electrons b. Attenuation is the difference between the incident beam and the attenuated beam c. Photoelectric absorption refers to the interaction of X-ray photons with loosely bound electrons d. An increase in atomic number increases the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) e. Elastic scatter results in no loss of energy

Answer»

a. True. The Compton effect is the interaction of X-ray photons with loosely bound or free electrons. 

b. True.

c. False. Photoelectric absorption is the interaction of X-ray photons with an inner shell or ‘bound’ electron. 

d. True. An increase in atomic number results in a higher probability that a photon will interact with an electron (photoelectric effect) as it passes through the material. 

e. True. This also known as coherent scatter and occurs when the photon does not have enough energy to overcome the binding energy of an electron shell and hence ‘bounces’ off without the loss of energy.

Regarding the properties of ultrasound: a. Ultrasound propagates through tissue as a longitudinal wave b. The velocity of the ultrasound wave is equal to the velocity of the particles of the tissue through which it propagates c. The wavelength of ultrasound in tissue in the range of frequencies used in diagnostic imaging is 1–5 mm d. An ultrasound wave undergoes reflection and refraction but not Rayleigh scattering e. Attenuation of the ultrasound wave by 10 dB corresponds to a tenfold decrease in ultrasound intensity

Answer»

a. True. This means that local movement of the tissue particles is in the same direction as the wave propagation. 

b. False. The velocity of the ultrasound wave is independent of the velocity of the particles of the medium. 

c. False. It ranges from approximately 0.77 mm (at 2 MHz frequency) to 0.1 mm (at 15 MHz frequency). 

d. False. It undergoes all these processes. Rayleigh scattering occurs when a wave is scattered from small structures with dimensions less than the ultrasound wavelength, such as red blood cells or micro bubbles. 

e. True. 10 dB (1 Bel) corresponds to a change by one order of magnitude.

8.

Concerning an X-ray beam: a. It reduces in equal quantities as it passes through material of equal thickness b. No matter how thick the material, it is not possible to completely absorb the primary X-ray beam c. Beam hardening results from a reduced number of photons being removed from the primary beam d. For a heterogeneous beam, the half-value layer (HVL) increases as the beam passes through the material e. Wearing lead gloves protects the operator’s fingers from the X-ray beam

Answer»

a. False. This is only true for a mono-energetic beam. X-ray beams consist of photons with varying energies (poly-energetic). 

b. True. This is known as the exponential law.

c. False. Beam hardening results from the low-energy photons being attenuated proportionally more than the high-energy photons as the beam travels through a material. 

d. True. As a result of beam hardening the penetrating power of the beam increases, resulting in an increase in the HVL. 

e. False. Protective equipment does not provide protection against the primary beam, only the attenuated rays.

9.

Ultrasound velocity: a. Is equal to the ultrasound frequency divided by the wavelength b. Increases with frequency in a given medium c. Is proportional to the square root of the material density d. Is higher in compressible materials e. Is lower in tissues with a higher fat or water content

Answer»

a. False. It is a product of the frequency and wavelength. 

b. False. Velocity in a given medium is virtually independent of the frequency. With velocity being constant, an increase in the frequency causes a proportional decrease in wavelength. 

c. False. It is inversely proportional to the square root of the material density. 

d. False. Ultrasound travels faster in stiff, non-compressible media. 

e. True. The velocity of ultrasound in fat and water is lower than in an average soft tissue.

11.

Concerning the thermal effects of ultrasound: a. Potential sources of heating are the absorption of ultrasound waves and heat produced at the transducer surface b. A temperature rise of less than 1°C is considered to present no hazard to human tissue including the embryo and fetus, even if maintained indefinitely c. According to International Standards IEC (2007), the maximum temperature of the probe in contact with the patient should not exceed 43°C when used internally, or 50°C when used externally d. Doppler techniques pose greater heating risks when compared with B-mode imaging e. Spectral Doppler poses less heating risk compared with colour flow imaging

Answer»

a. True. 

b. False. According to the British Medical Ultrasound Society, a diagnostic exposure that produces a maximum temperature rise of no more than 1.5°C above normal physiological levels (37°C) may be used clinically without reservation on thermal grounds. 

c. False. The temperature of a probe touching the patient either externally or internally should be limited to 43°C. The 50°C temperature limit applies to a probe running in air. 

d. True. Doppler imaging involves greater ultrasound intensities. 

e. False. There is a higher risk of heating in spectral Doppler as the beam is held in a fixed position. 

12.

Concerning factors affecting absorption and scatter of X-rays: a. An increase in the density of a material results in an increase in the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) b. Increasing the atomic number of a material increases its half-value layer (HVL) c. Reducing the tube voltage increases the LAC d. Increasing the filament voltage reduces the HVL of a material e. A narrow beam has a higher scatter-to-transmission ratio than a wide beam

Answer»

a. True. An increase in density results in a higher probability that a photon will interact with an electron as it passes through the material. 

b. False. An increase in atomic number results in a higher probability that a photon will interact with an electron (photoelectric effect) as it passes through the material and hence reduces the HVL. 

c. True. A reduction in tube voltage results in reduced photon energy, which means it is more likely to get attenuated as it passes through the material. 

d. False. Filament voltage increases the number of photons but not photon energy. 

e. False. A narrow beam results in a smaller amount of scatter.

13.

Which of the following are true about acoustic impedance? a. It is measured in kg m-2 b. The acoustic impedance of fat is lower than most other tissues c. The acoustic impedance of air is almost zero d. It is independent of temperature e. The intensity of ultrasound is directly proportional to the acoustic impedance and to the wave amplitude

Answer»

a. False. The acoustic impedance is a product of ultrasound velocity (in m s-1 ) and density of the medium (in kg m-3 ). Therefore, its unit is kg m-2 s -1 , which is also termed rayl after Lord Rayleigh. 

b. True. The lower velocity of ultrasound in fat combined with fat being of lower density leads to a lower acoustic impedance. 

c. True. This is mainly due to its low density. 

d. False. It changes with temperature as the material density and stiffness may change. 

e. False. It is proportional to the acoustic impedance and to the square of the amplitude.

14.

Regarding digital subtraction angiography (DSA): a. It is a high-dose technique with a lower dose of contrast medium b. Misregistration is more prominent at the boundaries between low-contrast details c. Pixel shifting can be done for each movement in the field of view d. The signals of the contrast and mask images are converted into their logarithms prior to subtraction because of the exponential nature of the attenuation e. Taking several mask and contrast images, with later subtraction according to the table position, will need less examination time but more contrast medium

Answer»

a. True. 

b. False. Misregistration is caused by movement, particularly at the boundaries between high-contrast details, e.g. bone edges. 

c. False. Pixel shifting can be done over the full area of the image and does not allow for differential movement within the field of view. 

d. True. 

e. False. Most DSA allows acquisition of several mask and contrast images along the full length by table movement. The table position is recorded for each contrast image. The system will subtract the appropriate mask image according to the table position. The advantages of this method are less contrast medium and less time required for examination. 

15.

Regarding flat-plate detectors: a. Caesium iodide is used as the scintillator b. They have the same detective quantum efficiency (DQE) as a conventional image intensifier c. They have the same dynamic range as a conventional image intensifier d. In a magnified field of view, the spatial resolution is increased e. Both contrast resolution and distortion are less in comparison with a conventional image intensifier

Answer»

a. True. 

b. True. The DQE for these detectors is comparable with an image intensifier (about 65%). 

c. False. The principal advantages of these detectors are increased dynamic range and improved spatial resolution. 

d. False. The spatial resolution when using a flat-plate detector does not improve with magnification. 

e. False. The contrast resolution is better and distortion is less.

16.

The following improve contrast:a. Collimationb. A higher kVc. Reduced beam filtration (for a given kV)d. Films with higher gammae. The use of contrast media

Answer»

a. True. Collimation improves contrast by reducing scatter. 

b. False. Higher kV means there is more scatter and less difference in absorption between tissues. 

c. True. This is due to a reduction of the overall mean energy of the X-ray beam. 

d. True. 

e. True.

Answer the following questions according to the text.There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange. In the dark, the fear of an unexpected touch can lead to panic. Even clothes give insufficient security: it is easy to tear them and pierce through to the naked, smooth, defenseless flesh of the victim. All the distances which men create round themselves are dictated by this fear. They shut themselves in houses which no one may enter, and only there they feel some measure of security. The fear of burglars is not only the fear of being robbed, but also the fear of something touching you in the darkness. 1. According to the passage, what frightens people most is _____. A) the thought of being robbed at night. B) the unexpected contact with something unknown. C) a sense of insecurity. D) being alone in the dark. E) the knowledge that they won’t be protected. 2. Because people are frightened of the unknown _____. A) they feel it necessary to put a barrier between themselves and the unknown. B) it is natural that they should always be in a state of panic. C) they feel safer in a crowd. D) they try to avoid physical contact of all kinds. E) burglars find it much easier to break into houses. 3. This passage is concerned with _____. A) how people can regain a sense of security. B) the measures people are advised to take against burglars. C) the three main types of fear. D) people’s fear of the unknown and how they try to cope with it. E) how to bring one’s fears into the open.

9 : 30 pm

Dear Diary

Today I am elated because my friend Johnsy is back to life. I was terribly scared when she was not recovering. I could have done anything to save her life. I am really grateful to Mr. Behrman who joined us in saving her life. The whole credit goes to him. Though it pains me a lot when I think about Mr. Behrman and his tragic death. There are very few people who keep their life at stake in order to save others. It was only the painted 'Last Leaf' that helped in rekindling hope in Johnsy. My joy knows no bounds now that my friend is well and out of danger. I wish Mr. Behrman would also have been well, but we can't fight with destiny. I wish Johnsy a speedy recovery.

Coordination is  (a) function of management  (b) the essence of management  (c) an objective of management  (d) none of the above

Answer»

Coordination is the essence of management.

It is neither a function nor an objective of an organisation. Rather, it is intrinsic in all the operations and functions of the management. It is a process through which the activities of various departments and units are synchronised towards the achievement of the common goals of the organisation. It is only through coordination among the different functions of management that the desired goals can be achieved.
