| Question | Answer facial edema, ur= |
|---|---|
| gantry rotation speed | the technical parameter controlling a CT system of temporal resolution It is how fast the gantry rotates and how fast the images are taken. |
| Pitch | described as the movement of the table throughout a helical scan divided by slice thickness |
| collimation | the dimension of the CT slice along the longitudinal detector configuration |
| Reconstruced slice thickness | performed after the initial prospective reconstruction to slice thickness |
| Slice interval | the distance between the center of one CT section and the center of the next adjacent section |
| Because the data selected for SFOV are a subset of all the scan data available the SFOV cannot be larger than the DFOV | False because the DFOV can not be larger thaen the SFOV |
| Comparing the reported rate of adverse reaction | LOCM are much lower than HOCM by a factore of approximately 4 to 5 times |
| Contrast reactions taht are accompanied by a temporary drop in blood pressue, facial edema, bronchospasm,laryngeal edema are | moderate reactions |
| A increase in KVP_______image noise and ____radiation dose if other parameters are held constant | decrease, increases |
| Image noise will decrease with an _____kvp and ____radiation dose if other parameters are held constant. | increase, increase |

| Explain how variations in contrast dose and flow rate affect aortic enhancement. | Flow rate increase as time decrease. |
| List three criteria that could be present for a diagnosis of appendicitis | abdominal pain, ratty appearance around the appendix, high wbc. |
| Why is multiphase imaging important when image tumores of the liver | because a noncontrast study will nost see the difference in the surrounding tissue of the liver |
| Why is it important to use a low attentuation contrast when 3-D imaging is necessary | because low attentuation contrast will not obsecure the difference in density of tissue |
| What can be done to reduce the radiation dose of the patient of a ct exam for the diagnosis of urinary tract caliculi | reduce the mA to 100 |
