Quiz 1 Flashcards
Asthenic
A slight build with long, narrow, shallow thorax, which is wider more superiorly
Hypersthenic
Massive, truncated build with short, broad, deep thorax
Hyposthenic
A build somewhere between asthenic and sthenic
Sthenic
Average with respect to height, weight, and torso length
CT or MRI
In general, it is better at imaging compact bone
CT
CT or MRI
It is better at demonstrating microfractures
MRI
CT or MRI
Ferromagnetic objects in or near patients are problematic
MRI
CT or MRI
Generally, it involves less scanning time
CT
CT or MRI
It has better tolerance for patient motion
CT
CT or MRI
It is a less expensive sectional imaging option
CT
CT or MRI
It offers low-contrast resolution
MRI
CT or MRI
Almost all images are acquired transaxially
CT
CT or MRI
Contrast media is gadolinium based.
MRI
CT Or MRI
It relies on hydrogen atoms in the body as part of the imaging process
MRI
CT or MRI
Contrast media is iodinated (ionic or nonionic) or barium sulfate.
CT
CT or MRI
Images are “weighted” by Pd (protein density), T1 relaxation times, or T2 relaxation times.
MRI
Ct or MRI
The ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) concept is promoted.
CT
True or false
Non-ionic iodinated contrast injections in CT will result in fewer contrast reactions compared to ionic iodinated contrast injections.
True

True
True or false
A person in the anatomic position is standing face forward, with palms of hands facing posteriorly.
False
True or false
The sectional imaging modality preferred for head trauma is CT, as it can demonstrate skull and/or facial features as well as brain injury.
True
