A) Seminal.
B) Testicle.

A) periosteal reaction with dense sclerosis
B) septic arthritis with articular erosion and joint space narrowing
C) aortic calcification
D) none of these. Gonorrhea does not present on radiographs.

Accepted Answer

Septic arthritis with articular erosion and joint space narrowing is radiographically characteristic of gonorrhea.The other two options are radiographic characteristics of syphilis.

Question 3

What is the function of the seminal vesicles?
A) Produce sperm.
B) Store sperm until ejaculation.
C) Secrete a thin, alkaline liquid essential to sperm motility.
D) Secrete a thick, fructose-rich liquid, which is a sperm energy source.

Accepted Answer

The seminal vesicles produce a thick liquid,rich in fructose.This sugar serves as an energy source for the sperm after ejaculation.

Question 4

What is (are)the function(s)of the prostate gland?
A) Secrete a thin, alkaline fluid essential to sperm motility.
B) Secrete a thick, fructose-rich liquid, which serves as an energy source for sperm.
C) Store sperm until ejaculation.
D) Secrete nutrients essential to sperm maturation and store immature sperm during maturation.

Accepted Answer

The prostate gland secretes an alkaline fluid that is essential to sperm motility in the acidic environment of the vagina.

Question 5

Which of the following is a serious complication of gonorrhea in females?
A) Fibrous scarring of fallopian tubes.
B) Aortic calcification.
C) Osteomyelitis.
D) Urethral stricture.

Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea can lead to fibrous scarring of the fallopian tubes,which often results in sterility or ectopic pregnancy.

Question 6

Sperm go through the final stage of maturation in the _____.
A) epididymis
B) prostate
C) vas deferens
D) seminal vesicles

Accepted Answer

Sperm go through the final stage of maturation in the epididymis.

Question 7

Which of the following are radiographic imaging procedures of the female reproductive system that are commonly used today?
(1)Mammography.
(2)Pelvimetry.
(3)Hysterosalpingography.
A) 1 and 2 only
B) 1 and 3 only
C) 2 and 3 only
D) 1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

Pelvimetry is the radiographic evaluation of the maternal pelvis,which is rarely,if ever,used today.Mammography and hysterosalpingography are the only radiographic examinations of the female reproductive system still commonly used today.Mammography is effective for detection of breast cancer,whereas hysterosalpingography is useful for demonstration of the uterine cavity and fallopian tube patency.

Question 8

Which imaging modality has become the primary modality for imaging of both the male and female reproductive systems?
A) Computed tomography (CT).
B) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
C) Positron emission tomography (PET).
D) Ultrasound (US).

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound,because of its nonionizing nature,has become the primary imaging modality of the male and female reproductive systems.

Question 9

The most common site of hematogenous metastasis of prostate cancer is
A) lung
B) brain
C) kidneys
D) bone

Accepted Answer

Carcinoma of the prostate gland most commonly metastasizes via the blood to bone.Metastasis may also occur by direct invasion and via the lymphatics.

Question 10

Which stage of syphilis produces radiographic evidence of this disease?
A) Primary.
B) Secondary.
C) Tertiary.
D) Radiographic abnormalities of syphilis are evident in all stages.

Accepted Answer

Radiographic abnormalities become evident in the tertiary stage of syphilis.

Question 11

Refer to the image below obtained during an excretory urogram on a male patient.What condition is indicated in this image? 
A) Testicular torsion.
B) Benign prostatic hyperplasia.
C) Epididymitis.
D) Testicular tumor.

Accepted Answer

The location of the prostate gland in close proximity to the urinary bladder causes the prostate to create a smooth,elevated indentation in the contrast-filled bladder floor when enlarged.Excretory urograms are often ordered on males who have difficulty urinating,which is one symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Question 12

Which of the following body systems may be affected by the tertiary stage of syphilis?
(1)Skeletal.
(2)Cardiovascular.
(3)CNS.
A) 1 and 2 only
B) 1 and 3 only
C) 2 and 3 only
D) 1, 2, and 3

Accepted Answer

All of the body systems listed can be affected by the tertiary stage of syphilis,in addition to the GI tract.

Question 13

Which imaging modality is the most effective screening technique for skeletal metastasis of prostate carcinoma?
A) Radiography.
B) Ultrasound.
C) Nuclear medicine.
D) CT.

Accepted Answer

Since a great deal of bone destruction or reaction must occur before a metastatic lesion is evident on a radiograph,nuclear medicine is more sensitive for screening for skeletal metastasis.

Question 14

Common complications seen in infants with congenital syphilis include
A) dwarfism and blue sclera
B) increased incidence of pediatric cancers and bleeding disorders
C) gonadal agenesis and sterility
D) mental retardation and deafness

Accepted Answer

Infants with congenital syphilis have numerous complications including mental retardation,deafness,and blindness.

Question 15

Transrectal ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality for detection of
A) epididymitis
B) carcinoma of the prostate
C) undescended testis
D) testicular torsion

Accepted Answer

Transrectal ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality for detection of prostate cancer.Since ultrasound does not deliver a radiation dose,it is preferred for imaging of the reproductive system.Additionally,the proximity of the transrectal transducer provides optimal resolution of this anatomy.

Question 16

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)can be demonstrated via
A) ultrasound (US) or CT
B) radiography or nuclear medicine (NM)
C) NM or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
D) none of these. PID cannot be demonstrated on images.

Accepted Answer

US or CT can demonstrate PID,which becomes evident with thickened and dilated fallopian tubes or abscess formation.

Question 17

Which stage of syphilis is incurable?
A) Primary.
B) Secondary.
C) Tertiary.
D) All stages of syphilis are incurable.

Accepted Answer

The primary and secondary stages of syphilis are curable with antibiotics,and these stages are also still infectious.The tertiary stage is incurable.

Question 18

Which of the following is characteristic of the secondary stage of syphilis?
A) Neuropathic joint disease.
B) Nonitching skin rash.
C) Chancre on the genitals.
D) Chronic osteomyelitis.

Accepted Answer

The secondary stage of syphilis has a nonitching skin rash that can appear anywhere on the body.

Question 19

A _____ is characteristic of the primary stage of syphilis.
A) chancre on the genitals
B) nonitching skin rash
C) cardiovascular calcification
D) neuropathic joint disease
