Questions and Answers

Which device is used to detect radiation from organs or tissues?

  • X-ray machine
  • Ultrasound machine
  • MRI scanner
  • Gamma Camera (correct)

    • How can nuclear medicine images be used to find tumours?

  • The tumour 'takes up' more of the radiopharmaceutical than the rest of the organ or tissue (correct)
  • The radiopharmaceutical disperses equally throughout the body
  • The rest of the organ or tissue 'takes up' the radiopharmaceutical, but the tumour doesn’t
  • The radiopharmaceutical is not absorbed by any part of the body

    • What is a dynamic study in nuclear medicine imaging?

  • A series of images that captures movement or activity (such as blood flow to an organ) (correct)
  • Front and back views of the body in 2 dimensions
  • A study focusing on static objects within the body
  • A 2-dimensional view that shows one image at a time

    • Nuclear medicine imaging can only be used to examine the structure of organs, not their function
