Best way to evaluate lung fatty lesion is do CT with:
A) Bone algorithm
B) Lung window
C) 1 mm thickness soft tissue window.
D) 1 mm thickness with sharp filter.
C) 1 mm thickness soft tissue window.
Notes:
- Several authors have studied the relationship between the accuracy of nodule measurement
and CT section thickness. They consistently found that variability decreased with decreasing
section thickness and that the thinnest sections (usually 1 mm) provided the most consistent
results.
- 1 mm thickness with sharp filter → bone algorithm.

exam:
A) Chest x ray.
B) CT angio.
A) Chest x ray.
Answer: A
Notes:
o If pregnant
o US leg

Patient underwent colonoscopy, presented with severe pain not relieved
by Buscopan, what to do next:
A) Double contrast enema
B) Single water-soluble contrast.
B) Single water-soluble contrast.
Answer: Single water-soluble contrast.
Notes:
- If a suspected bowel perforation is the primary indication for the study, then protocolling the
study with a water-soluble contrast medium is useful.
