Answer to Question 1

Cerebral angiography is a radiologic procedure in which a radiopaque contrast dye is injected into the carotid arteries and an x-ray is taken to visualize the arterial circulation in the brain. This test can show aneurysms, stenosis, tumors, or plaque in the arteries. A tumor can be seen as an interwoven collection of new blood vessels, or it can be seen indirectly when it distorts normal anatomy and forces arteries into abnormal positions. The x-ray image is known as an angiogram or arteriogram.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: A) Correct
B) Areas of increased uptake are not called dark spots.
C) Areas of increased uptake are not called cold spots.
D) Areas of increased uptake are not called light spots.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
