Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The flexible bronchoscope uses fiberoptic bundles to illuminate the endobronchial tree. Based on its imaging system, FBs are divided into fiberoptic, video, or hybrid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Positron emission tomography (PET) is often very helpful in evaluating solitary pulmonary nod-ules. Nodules with greater than 1 cm diameter that are avid for the isotope used in PET (5 fluorodeoxyglucose) and therefore light up on the scan generally are more likely to be malig-nant than nodules without uptake.
