Which of the following is the radiologic procedure of choice for detection of suspicious renal tumor, abscess or stones?
- A.
Retrograde pyelography
- B.
Barium enema
- C.
IV urography
- D.
IV cholangiography
Correct Answer
C. IV urograpHyExplanation
IV urography is the radiologic procedure of choice for the detection of suspicious renal tumor, abscess, or stones. This procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into the veins, which then travels to the kidneys and urinary tract. X-rays are taken at specific intervals to track the movement of the dye and identify any abnormalities in the kidneys or urinary system. IV urography provides detailed images of the kidneys and is particularly useful in diagnosing renal tumors, abscesses, and stones. Retrograde pyelography is a procedure used to visualize the urinary tract, but it is not the preferred choice for detecting these specific conditions. Barium enema and IV cholangiography are procedures used to examine the gastrointestinal and biliary systems, respectively, and are not relevant to the detection of renal tumors, abscesses, or stones.Rate this question:

1 only
- B.
1 and 3
- C.
2 and 3
- D.
1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer
A. 1 onlyExplanation
Retrograde pyelography is considered a non-functional direct study because it involves the injection of contrast dye directly into the ureters, allowing for visualization of the urinary tract. This procedure does not involve the functional assessment of the kidneys, making it a non-functional study. Excretory urography, on the other hand, is a functional study that involves the injection of contrast dye into a vein, which is then filtered by the kidneys and excreted into the urinary tract. Infusion pyelography is also a functional study that involves the infusion of contrast dye into a vein, allowing for the visualization of the urinary tract and assessment of kidney function. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 only, as retrograde pyelography is the only procedure considered a non-functional direct study.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT seen on an IVP radiography 5 minutes after injection?
- A.
Renal pyramid
- B.
Renal pelvis
- C.
Urinary bladder
- D.
Calyces
Correct Answer
C. Urinary bladderExplanation
The urinary bladder is not seen on an IVP radiography 5 minutes after injection. An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a radiographic procedure used to visualize the urinary system. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream, which helps highlight the urinary tract structures. The dye travels through the bloodstream and is excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Within 5 minutes after injection, the contrast dye would have passed through the kidneys, renal pelvis, calyces, and renal pyramid, but it would not have reached the urinary bladder yet. Therefore, the urinary bladder would not be visible on the IVP radiography at this time.Rate this question:

Which of the following procedures would most likely follow an excretory urogram?
- A.
Cholangiography
- B.
Retrograde pyelography
- C.
Amniography
- D.
Proctology
Correct Answer
B. Retrograde pyelograpHyExplanation
An excretory urogram is a diagnostic procedure that involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream to visualize the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Retrograde pyelography is a procedure that is used to further evaluate the urinary system by injecting contrast dye directly into the ureters and kidneys. Since both procedures involve the use of contrast dye to visualize the urinary system, it is likely that retrograde pyelography would follow an excretory urogram. Cholangiography is a procedure used to visualize the bile ducts, amniography is used to visualize the amniotic sac during pregnancy, and proctology is the study and treatment of diseases related to the rectum and anus, so they are not directly related to an excretory urogram.Rate this question:

T-tube cholangiography is the correct answer because it refers to a post-operative examination of the biliary system using a special catheter called a T-tube. This procedure involves injecting a contrast dye through the T-tube to visualize the biliary system and detect any abnormalities or complications after surgery. Enteroclysis is a different procedure used to examine the small intestine, PTC stands for percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography which is a different imaging technique for the biliary system, and myography is the study of muscle contractions and movements, which is unrelated to the biliary system examination.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. BuscopanExplanation
Buscopan is the correct answer because it is a medication that is commonly used to reduce peristalsis during medical examinations. Peristalsis is the movement of muscles in the digestive tract that helps to propel food through the system. By reducing peristalsis, Buscopan can help to relax the muscles in the digestive tract, making it easier for medical professionals to perform examinations or procedures. This can be particularly useful in situations where a patient may be experiencing discomfort or where it is necessary to have a clear view of the area being examined.Rate this question:

How should a patient for operative cholangiography be positioned?
- A.
15 to 20 degree LPO
- B.
15 to 20 degree RPO
- C.
45 degree LPO
- D.
45 degree RPO
Correct Answer
B. 15 to 20 degree RPOExplanation
A patient for operative cholangiography should be positioned in a 15 to 20 degree right posterior oblique (RPO) position. This position allows for optimal visualization of the bile ducts during the procedure. The RPO position helps to move the liver away from the spine, providing a clear view of the bile ducts and reducing the risk of injury during the procedure.Rate this question:
