Question
Answer
The best position to identify free intraperitoneal air?   Upright chest xray including the diaphragms  
🗑
________is an imaging technique to obtain real-time moving images of the patient with x-rays.   Fluoroscopy  
🗑
______Evaluates patency, extrinsic abnormalities, and luminal narrowing, but has limited evaluation of mucosal detail   Fluoroscopy  
🗑
_________Evaluates fine mucosal detail that allow pathology from early inflammatory changes and tumor formation to be detected   Double contast Fluorscopy. Patient ingests barium followed by effervescent granules or air insufflation per rectum  
🗑
2D cross-sectional images of the body are made using   CT  
🗑
_____________differ from most other imaging modalities in that tests show the physiological function of the system as opposed to traditional anatomical imaging such as CT or MRI.   Nuclear medicine. Radiotracer (such as HIDA) is injected into the patient and images are obtained with a camera  
🗑
Best test for cholecystitis   HIDA (hepatociliary iminodiacetic acid scan. creates pictures of your liver, gallbladder, biliary tract and small intestine to evaluate for cholecystitis.  
🗑
___ is a nuclear medicine technique that evaluates for GI bleeds by looking for a collection of radiotracer in a distribution that matches bowel   Tc99m  
🗑
Common indications for Abdominal radiograph   Obstruction, ileus, free air  
🗑
Common indications for US   Cholecystitis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, Liver cirrhosis, patency of hepatic vasculature, appendicitis  
🗑
Hiatal hernias and esophageal varices can be assessed with   barium swallows  
🗑
Diverticulitis, colitis, colonic masses (usually in the setting of failed colonoscopy) can be assessed with   Barium enema  
🗑
Indications for CT   cholecystitis, bowel obstruction, abdominal tumors, complications in pancreatitis and liver cirrhosis  
🗑
Indications for MRI   Complications of liver cirrhosis, biliary tract obstructions and evaluate/stage abdominal tumors  
🗑
_____ can be used to assess an acute lower GI bleed   Tagged RBC scan  
🗑
Etiologies for narrowing of the distal esophagus   tumor, strictures (often GERD), Chagas, Achalasia  
🗑
____ can be used to assess esophageal varcies   Single-contrast barium esophagram  
🗑
___ reveals gastric anatomy and adenocarcinoma   Single-contrast barium  
🗑
Linnitus plastica is a finding associated with   gastric adenocarcinoma  
🗑
Where is it normal to have air-fluid levels?   in the colon  
🗑
"string sign" is seen using which imaging modality in Crohn's disease?   Barium studies  
🗑
"sunburts" pattern on a CT is consistent with what diagnosis?   Carcinoid tumor. Strands go out from the carcinoid cells to the mesenteric nodes  
🗑
FAP can be imaged with what modality?   Double contrast barium enema  
🗑
Ulcerative colitis can be viewed using   air-contrast barium enema  
🗑
"apple core" is used to describe a   constricting lesion of colon adenocarcinoma. Can be imaged with double contrast barium enema  
🗑
Study of choice to image diverticulitis   abdomen and pelvis CT  
🗑
Imaging for Hepatocellular Carcinoma   Contrast-enhanced CT can show multiple hypodense nodules representing hepatocellular carcinoma  
🗑
Which is more sensitve for imaging hepatocellular carcinoma? CT or MRI   MRI  
🗑
Advantage of using MRCP in choledocholithiasis   therapeutic, can remove stones  
🗑
Which modality is best when looking at the biliary system? MRI or CT?   MRI. You can subtract the parts that you don't want to see  
🗑
What can be used to tell the difference between a tumor and a stone in the gallbladder?   Shadow (stone)  
🗑
Imaging options for visualizing the pancreas   CT and MRI (contrast on board to highlight the pancreatic parenchyma)  
🗑
Air in the pancreatic bed is indicative of   abscess and/or fistulous communication with bowel  
🗑
Plain radiographs are useful to rule out   free air and obstruction  
🗑
Number 1 cause of acute lower GI bleed   angiodysplasia (70-80%), Diverticular dz (33%)  
🗑
disadvantage of CT in GI bleeds   CT is insensitive to localize the site of bleeding  
🗑
Colonoscopy is the preferred imaging method in   GI bleeds that are hemodynamically stable. Direct visualization and therapeutic options  
🗑
____ is best suited for identifying slow-bleeding and needs to be done during active bleeding   Tc99m tagged RBC scan  
🗑
_______ is best suited for briskly bleeding and needs to be done during active bleeding   mesenteric angiogram  
🗑
