Which of the following is NOT a type of Interventional Radiology Imaging technique?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is not typically used in Interventional Radiology as it is not real-time and does not provide the necessary guidance for interventional procedures.

What is the primary advantage of Fluoroscopy in Interventional Radiology?

  1. High-resolution images

  2. Real-time imaging

  3. Detailed cross-sectional views

  4. Non-invasive procedure


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Fluoroscopy provides real-time imaging, allowing the interventional radiologist to visualize the procedure as it is being performed and make adjustments as needed.

Which imaging technique is commonly used for guiding biopsies and tumor ablations?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Computed Tomography (CT) is often used for guiding biopsies and tumor ablations due to its ability to provide detailed cross-sectional images and its accuracy in localizing lesions.

What is the primary role of Ultrasound in Interventional Radiology?

  1. Guiding vascular interventions

  2. Visualizing blood flow patterns

  3. Assessing organ function

  4. Detecting tumors and masses


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ultrasound is commonly used in Interventional Radiology to guide vascular interventions such as angioplasty and stent placement due to its ability to provide real-time images of blood vessels.

Which imaging technique is best suited for visualizing soft tissue structures and blood flow?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) excels in visualizing soft tissue structures and blood flow due to its high contrast resolution and ability to generate detailed cross-sectional images.

What is the main advantage of Cone Beam CT (CBCT) in Interventional Radiology?

  1. High-resolution 3D images

  2. Real-time imaging

  3. Reduced radiation exposure

  4. Non-invasive procedure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) provides high-resolution 3D images, allowing for precise visualization of anatomical structures and guidance during interventional procedures.

Which imaging technique is commonly used for embolization procedures?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fluoroscopy is often used for embolization procedures as it provides real-time imaging and allows the interventional radiologist to visualize the placement of embolic agents accurately.

What is the primary benefit of using Contrast Agents in Interventional Radiology?

  1. Enhancing image quality

  2. Reducing radiation exposure

  3. Improving patient comfort

  4. Shortening procedure time


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contrast Agents are used in Interventional Radiology to enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and tissues, thereby improving the quality of images and facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Which imaging technique is most commonly used for guiding catheter-based interventions?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fluoroscopy is the most commonly used imaging technique for guiding catheter-based interventions due to its real-time imaging capabilities and ability to provide continuous visualization of the procedure.

What is the primary role of Interventional Radiology in treating vascular diseases?

  1. Visualizing blood flow patterns

  2. Detecting vascular abnormalities

  3. Performing minimally invasive procedures

  4. Administering medications


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Interventional Radiology plays a crucial role in treating vascular diseases by performing minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and embolization to restore blood flow and address vascular abnormalities.

Which imaging technique is commonly used for guiding percutaneous biopsies?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ultrasound is commonly used for guiding percutaneous biopsies due to its ability to provide real-time images and allow for precise needle placement under direct visualization.

What is the primary advantage of using 3D Rotational Angiography in Interventional Radiology?

  1. Improved image quality

  2. Reduced radiation exposure

  3. Enhanced visualization of complex structures

  4. Shorter procedure time


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

3D Rotational Angiography provides enhanced visualization of complex anatomical structures and vascular networks, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in Interventional Radiology.

Which imaging technique is commonly used for guiding radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ultrasound is commonly used for guiding radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures as it allows for real-time visualization of the target tissue and precise placement of the RFA probe.

What is the primary role of Interventional Radiology in treating kidney diseases?

  1. Visualizing kidney structures

  2. Detecting kidney abnormalities

  3. Performing minimally invasive procedures

  4. Administering medications


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Interventional Radiology plays a crucial role in treating kidney diseases by performing minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and embolization to address vascular abnormalities and improve kidney function.

Which imaging technique is commonly used for guiding vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures?

  1. Fluoroscopy

  2. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

  3. Computed Tomography (CT)

  4. Ultrasound


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fluoroscopy is commonly used for guiding vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures as it provides real-time imaging and allows for precise needle placement and cement injection under direct visualization.
