Question 18

Which part of the body is the enhancement of MRI images using isotopes of noble gases most effective?

Accepted Answer

MRI images of the lungs can be significantly enhanced using isotopes of noble gases, such as helium or xenon, due to their unique physical properties. These gases are inhaled by the patient, improving the contrast and detail of lung images, which is particularly useful given the lung's low density and the challenges it presents for traditional MRI imaging.

Question 19

The use of radionuclides to treat cancer by exposing cancerous cells to gamma radiation is called

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic radiology, also known as radiation therapy, involves the use of high-energy radiation, often including gamma rays, to target and kill cancer cells. This treatment can be external or internal and is specifically designed to damage the DNA of cancer cells, leading to their death or decreased ability to multiply.
