Question 1

MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with the corresponding disease or condition.(Use each selection only once.)
-Gastric bubble seen above the diaphragm

Accepted Answer

A hiatal hernia occurs when a part of the stomach pushes into the chest cavity through the opening of the diaphragm. This causes the gastric bubble to be seen above the diaphragm on a radiograph.

Answer: D
 A Zenker diverticulum is a pouch that develops in the upper esophagus, near the pharynx. It can be seen on a radiograph as a sac-like structure just above the diaphragm.

Answer: E
 A Schatzki ring is a narrow band of tissue that can form in the lower esophagus. It can be seen on a radiograph as a constriction or narrowing of the esophagus.

Answer: G
 Esophageal varices are swollen, enlarged veins in the esophagus. They can occur in people with liver disease and are often seen on a radiograph as dilated vessels in the lower esophagus.

Answer: H
 Gastric carcinoma is a type of stomach cancer that can be seen on a radiograph as a mass or abnormal growth in the stomach. However, it may not always be visible on a radiograph and other imaging tests may be needed for diagnosis.

The options A, C, and F are not associated with any specific radiographic appearances.

Question 2

MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with the corresponding disease or condition.(Use each selection only once.)
-Irregular filling defect within the stomach

Accepted Answer

Irregular filling defects within the stomach on radiographic images are most commonly associated with gastric carcinoma. These defects are due to tumor masses or ulcerations that disrupt the normal lining of the stomach, creating an irregular appearance.

Question 3

MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with the corresponding disease or condition.(Use each selection only once.)
-Speckled appearance of the gastric mucosa and absence of rugae

Accepted Answer

Speckled appearance of the gastric mucosa and absence of rugae is a characteristic of gastritis.

Answer: H 
 Gastric carcinoma can appear as a thickened or irregular gastric mucosa on radiographs.

Answer: D 
 Zenker diverticulum appears as a pouch or sac-like protrusion from the esophagus on radiographs.

Answer: A 
 Ulcers can appear as a disruption or erosion in the mucosal lining of the stomach or intestines on radiographs.

Answer: E 
 Schatzki ring is a narrowing of the esophagus that appears as a thin band on radiographs.

Answer: G 
 Esophageal varices appear as dilated blood vessels in the esophagus on radiographs.

Answer: B 
 Hiatal hernia appears as a protrusion of the stomach through the diaphragm on radiographs.

Answer: C 
 Achalasia (cardiospasm) appears as a dilated esophagus with a narrowed cardiac sphincter on radiographs.

Question 4

MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with the corresponding disease or condition.(Use each selection only once.)
-Punctate collection of barium surrounded by a "halo" appearance during upper GI series

Accepted Answer

Ulcers can present as punctate collections of barium surrounded by a "halo" appearance during an upper GI series, indicating the presence of a crater-like lesion.

Question 5

MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with the corresponding disease or condition.(Use each selection only once.)
-Dilated distal esophagus due to reduced peristalsis

Accepted Answer

Dilated distal esophagus due to reduced peristalsis is a characteristic finding in achalasia (cardiospasm).

Answer: D
 Zenker diverticulum refers to a protrusion of the pharyngeal mucosa through the posterior cricopharyngeal muscle. It appears as a dilated distal esophagus on radiography.

Answer: E
 Schatzki ring is a narrow ring-like constriction at the distal esophagus. It appears as a dilated distal esophagus on radiography.

Answer: G
 Esophageal varices refer to dilated veins in the esophagus caused by portal hypertension. They appear as serpiginous filling defects projecting into the esophageal lumen on radiography.

Answer: H
 Gastric carcinoma is a malignancy of the stomach. It may present with focal or diffuse gastric wall thickening on radiography.

Question 6

MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with the corresponding disease or condition.(Use each selection only once.)
-Narrowing and wormlike appearance of distal esophagus

Accepted Answer

The answer of MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with...

Question 7

MATCHING
Match each radiographic appearance or description with the corresponding disease or condition.(Use each selection only once.)
-Enlarged recess in the distal esophagus

Accepted Answer

An enlarged recess in the distal esophagus is characteristic of Zenker diverticulum.

Answer: C
 An enlarged or dilated esophagus can be a sign of achalasia (cardiospasm), which is a condition where the muscles of the lower esophageal sphincter do not relax properly.

Answer: E
 A Schatzki ring is a narrowing of the lower end of the esophagus, usually caused by a ring of tissue that forms there.

Answer: G
 Esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the esophagus, which can occur in patients with chronic liver disease.

Answer: H
 Gastric carcinoma refers to cancer of the stomach, which can be identified by radiographic appearances such as a mass or irregularity in the gastric wall.

Answer: A, F
 Ulcers and gastritis both refer to inflammation and irritation of the gastric mucosa, which can result in radiographic appearances such as thickening of the stomach wall or ulcers that may be visible on imaging.

Answer: B
 A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm and into the chest cavity, which can cause radiographic appearances such as an enlarged gastroesophageal junction.
