1
New cards

Criteria for the estimation of carotid artery stenosis by CTA and MRA are based on the

a. intraluminal contrast density

b. blood flow velocity

c. thickness of the intimal plaque

d. measurement of the luminal diameter

d. measurement of the luminal diameter

2
New cards

A patient is receiving thrombolytic agents for an iliofemoral venous thrombosis. Which of the following techniques is essential for monitoring thrombolytic therapy?

a. duplex ultrasound

b. contrast venography

c. CT venography

d. MR venography

b. contrast venography

3
New cards

Contraindications to MRA include all but which of the following?

a. claustrophobia

b. Scarring forms surgical incisions

c. certain implanted devices such as a pacemaker

d. patient unable to hold their breath

b. Scarring forms surgical incisions

4
New cards

Which of these statements is incorrect with respect to imaging evaluation of traumatic vascular injury?

a. MRA is of limited value due to longer acquisition times

b. CTA can identify sides of arterial bleeding and permit arteriography to be directed to the vessels requiring intervention

c. Duplex ultrasound is usually insufficient to evaluate femoral artery injury after catheterization

d. MRA is difficult due to the monitoring of unstable patients inside the magnet

c. Duplex ultrasound is usually insufficient to evaluate femoral artery injury after catheterization

5
New cards

the following are examples of digital image reformatting in CTA or MRA except

field-of-view (FOV)

6
New cards

limitations associated with the evaluation of intravascular stents include the following except

endoleaks associated with aortic stent-grafts require DSA for detection

7
New cards

these conditions may be diagnosed by CT or MR venography of the abdomen and pelvis except

Lemierre's syndrome

8
New cards

which image modality is used as a guidance during carotid stent placement

digital subtraction angiography

9
New cards

MRA detection of renal artery stenosis can be challenging due to

tissue motion associated with longer acquisition times

10
New cards

arterial and venous causes for mesenteric ischemia can be differentiated by a single examination except in the case of

dsa

11
New cards

the case in which multiplanar digital image reconstruction demonstrate resolution similar to that in the original acquisition is referred to as

isotropic resolution

12
New cards

which of the statements about the technique referred to by the acronym TRICKS is incorrect

it involves the use of large contrast boluses

13
New cards

DSA is considered to be more invasive than other imaging techniques because

direct arterial access required

14
New cards

disadvantages of CTA include all except

long length of time to acquire images

15
New cards

this test has replaced ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scanning

CTA
