Question | Answer |
---|---|
define radiopharmaceuticals | Radioactive compound used for diagnosis and/or therapy of diseases |
T/F: radaiopharmaceuticals are used for pharmacological effects? | false; used in tracer quantities |
what are the ideal biological characteristics of radiopharmaceuticals? | ideal half life (long enough to formulate RaPh and accomplish imaging study, but short enough to reduce overall radiation dose to the patient) readily available high target:non-target ratio |

which imaging modalities are good for only atomic imaging? | Radiographs and CT |

what is the difference b/t atomic and physiologic imaging? | atomic- rays pass through whole body physiologic- rays emmited from body |

which radiopharmaceutical is used for thyroid imaging? | 99mTcO4 |
what is another radiopharmaceutical used for thyroid imaging? | 123I- |
why would you choose to use 99mTcO4 over 123I-? | 99mTcO4 is cheaper and has a faster clearance rate than 123I- |
99mTc Sulfur Colloid is used in what type of scintigraphy? | Liver |
How are liver tumors displayed with TcS scintigraphy? | photopenic void; so shows up as negative image |
how do you differentiate b/t a tumor and cirrhosis of the liver when using scintigraphy? | send in a biopsy |

99mTc-HMPAO and 99mTc-ECD are what type of imgaging agents? | brain |
99mTc-MAG3 is what type of imaging agent? | renal |
what is the trade name for 99mTc-HMPAO | Cerutec |
what is the trade name for 99mTc-ECD | Neurolite |
99mTc-DTPA measures what? | glomerular filtration rate (GFR) |
131I-OIH, replaced by 99mTc-MAG3, measures what? | Effective renal blood flow (ERBF) |
99mTc-DMSA measures/displays what? | renal morphology |
why would you use renal scintigraphy rather than using a chem panel to determine renal problems? | Can quantify individual kidney function and can detect renal dysfunction before there is an increase in BUN |
when an increase in BUN is detected in a chem panel, how much renal funciton is already lost? | >75% |
how would you determine renal failure based on renal scintigraphy? | poor reanal uptake of 99Tc-DTPA prolonged blood pool activity |
Why would you use a 99mTc-MAG3 scintigraphy over a 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy? | ERBF scan is more sensitive than a GFR scan. Also MAG3 has a higher clearance rate tahn DTPA |
why would you do a scintigraphy for renal morphology? | Used to evaluate size, shape and location of kidneys Used to evaluate for acute pyelonephritis Used to determine the distribution of functional renal mass |
how would you diagnose end stage kidney on renal scintigraphy? | 99mTc localized to cortex of kidney; medulla gone |
what is the sign on scintigraphy of end stage kidney? | horseshoe shape in middle of kidney |
99mTc Phosphorous compounds are used for imaging what body part? | bones |
what is 153Sm-EDTMP used for? | nuclide radiotherapy used to treat osteosarcomas |
what is the trade name for 153Sm-EDTMP? | QuadraMet |
what is the most commonly used radiopharmaceutical with PET scans? | fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) |
FDG helps to locate tumors in which tissues? | brain, heart (metab glucose quickly) |
what is an antiseptic? | Substance applied to living tissue that inhibits growth and development of microorganisms |
what is a disinfectant? | Substance applied to inanimate objects to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms |
which agent can serve as both an antiseptic and a mild disinfectant? | nolvasan |
what is a germicide? | Substance used to destroy bacteria or other infective microorganisms |
what is a cleanser? | Substance that aids in physical removal of foreign material; NOT A GERMICIDE |
what is a sanitizer? | Substance that reduces the number of bacteria to levels considered safe according to public health interpretations |
what is sterilization | Complete destruction of all forms of microbial life |
the ideal antiseptic has a wide spectrum of effectiveness; however, would you rather it be cidal or static? | cidal |
what factors determine the effectiveness of a cleaning agent? | concentration, time, pH, temperature, vehicle |
what factors determine the effectiveness of a microorganism? | susceptibility, number, meduium, virulence |
what factors determine whether or not a host will become infected and develop symptoms of a disease? | health, immune status |
what are the modes of action of antimicrobials | adsorption into the mircoorganism diffusion into the microorganism altered permeability |
how does adsorption of an antisepctic/disinfectant into the microorganism alter the microorganism's effectiveness | causes a layer of lethal substance |
how does diffusion of an antiseptic/disinfectant into the microorganism alter the microorganism's effectiveness? | interferes with metabolism |
