Question 1

Case 001 (Compression Counseling): In a high-volume outpatient imaging center, what communication approach best supports patient safety and cooperation before compression?

Avoid discussing compression to reduce anticipatory anxiety. Provide a brief plain-language explanation, confirm understanding, and proceed with coached breathing. Ask the patient companion to decide whether compression is acceptable. Start compression and explain details only if pain occurs.

Correct Answer:

Provide a brief plain-language explanation, confirm understanding, and proceed with coached breathing.

Question 2

Case 002 (Prior Study Comparison): In a hospital breast-imaging department, what is the best action when outside prior mammograms are not yet loaded?

Proceed and permanently skip comparison. Initiate retrieval workflow and flag the case so interpretation includes prior comparison when available. Assign the patient to ultrasound only. Delete current images and reschedule automatically.

Correct Answer:

Initiate retrieval workflow and flag the case so interpretation includes prior comparison when available.

Question 3

Case 003 (Contralateral Surveillance): In a screening day with tight scheduling, after unilateral treatment, what is generally needed in ongoing mammography planning?

No further imaging once treatment is complete. Appropriate surveillance of remaining breast tissue per clinical protocol and radiologist direction. MRI only for every follow-up regardless indication. Automatic downgrade to biennial follow-up without physician input.

Correct Answer:

Appropriate surveillance of remaining breast tissue per clinical protocol and radiologist direction.

Question 4

Case 004 (Clinical History Capture): In a callback diagnostic appointment, which history element is most important to document before image acquisition?

Preferred appointment day only. Prior breast surgery, palpable concerns, and relevant family/personal cancer history. Primary-care office fax number only. Insurance authorization code only.

Correct Answer:

Prior breast surgery, palpable concerns, and relevant family/personal cancer history.

Question 5

Case 005 (Callback Communication): In an early-morning quality-control shift, a patient asks whether a callback means cancer. Which response is most appropriate for the technologist?

State that callback almost always confirms malignancy. Explain that additional views are common and avoid giving a diagnostic interpretation. Interpret the finding using BI-RADS language and management recommendations. Advise the patient to skip additional imaging and wait for annual screening.

Correct Answer:

Explain that additional views are common and avoid giving a diagnostic interpretation.
