Question 1

Which of the following are commonly used as long-term storage for DICOM images? &#10;1.Digital linear tape&#10;2.Optical disks&#10;3.Film&#10;A)1 only&#10;B)2 only&#10;C)1 and 2&#10;D)1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

Digital linear tape and optical disks are commonly used as long-term storage for DICOM images. Film is also an option, but it is less commonly used in modern medical imaging practices.

Question 2

In which RAID level are all data and error correction (parity) striped across all connected disks?&#10;A)RAID 0&#10;B)RAID 1&#10;C)RAID 3&#10;D)RAID 5

Accepted Answer

RAID 5 is the RAID level in which data and error correction (parity) are striped across all connected disks. RAID 0 doesn't have any error correction, RAID 1 mirrors data to another disk, and RAID 3 stripes data across multiple disks but only stores error correction on one dedicated disk. Hence, RAID 5 is the best choice for this scenario.

Question 3

A level, layer, or division of something is known as a ______.&#10;A)Tier&#10;B)RAID&#10;C)Stripe&#10;D)Mirror

Accepted Answer

The word "tier" specifically refers to a level or layer of something, making it the best choice among the given options. RAID, stripe, and mirror are all terms associated with data storage and organization, but do not necessarily imply a hierarchical structure.

Question 4

Which of the following information might be found in the DICOM header of an image?
1.Patient name
2.Lab results
3.Ordering physician

A)1 only
B)1 and 2
C)1 and 3
D)1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

The DICOM header of an image typically contains information related to the patient, such as their name, as well as information related to the medical imaging procedure, such as the ordering physician. Lab results are not typically found in the DICOM header, as they are a separate type of medical data. Therefore, choices 2 and 3 can be ruled out, and the correct answer is choice C, which includes the relevant information of 1 and 3.

Question 5

Which of the following are true regarding the image manager?
1.Contains the master database of all on the archive
2.Controls the receipt of all images
3.Stores images in its database

A)1 and 2
B)1 and 3
C)2 and 3
D)1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following are true regarding...

Question 6

Which component of the archive consists of the physical storage devices?&#10;A)Image storage&#10;B)Archive server&#10;C)Image manager&#10;D)Both A and B

Accepted Answer

Question 7

In which RAID level are all data striped across all connected disks and error correction (parity) is contained on one disk?&#10;A)RAID 0&#10;B)RAID 1&#10;C)RAID 3&#10;D)RAID 5

Accepted Answer

RAID 3 stripes data across all but one of the disks in the array, with the remaining disk being used to store parity information for error correction. This allows for improved performance and data protection.

Question 8

Which term is used to describe when data are broken up into pieces and each disk receives a &#34;piece&#34; of the data?&#10;A)Mirror&#10;B)Striping&#10;C)Tier&#10;D)RAID

Accepted Answer

Striping, also known as disk striping, refers to the process of dividing data into small pieces and storing it across multiple disks in a RAID array. This technique helps improve data access speed and reliability, as well as provide fault tolerance in case of a disk failure.

Question 9

Which of the following is an archive storage configuration that links different kinds of data storage devices on a special-purpose network?&#10;A)SAN&#10;B)DAS&#10;C)NAS&#10;D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

SAN (Storage Area Network) is a specialized high-speed network that connects different data storage devices, such as disks, tapes, and optical drives, to provide centralized, block-level data storage. SAN is commonly used for archive storage configuration that requires reliable, high-performance, and scalable storage solutions. NAS (Network-Attached Storage) is another type of data storage that uses a file-level protocol, such as NFS or SMB, to provide shared storage over a TCP/IP network. DAS (Direct-Attached Storage) refers to any storage device that is directly connected to a computer or server, such as an internal hard disk or an external USB drive. While both NAS and DAS can be used for archive storage, they are not designed for the same use cases as SAN. Therefore, the best choice for an archive storage configuration that links different kinds of data storage devices on a special-purpose network is SAN.

Question 10

Which PACS component interfaces with the radiology information system and hospital information system?&#10;A)Image storage&#10;B)Archive server&#10;C)ASP&#10;D)Image manager

Accepted Answer

The Image Manager component interfaces with the radiology information system and hospital information system to manage and retrieve patient information and images. The Image Storage component is responsible for storing and archiving images, the Archive server manages data retention and backup, and ASP (Application Service Provider) is a third-party service that provides software applications over the internet. None of these components are directly responsible for interfacing with other information systems.

Question 11

Which of the following are types of optical disks? &#10;1.MOD&#10;2.DLT&#10;3.UDO&#10;A)1 and 2&#10;B)1 and 3&#10;C)1 only&#10;D)1, 2, and 3
