Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
HRCT is ideally suited to evaluating diffuse parenchymal lung disease like interstitial lung dis-ease, emphysema, and bronchiectasis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The chest radiograph often lags behind the clinical condition of the patient. This is common in pneumonia where the patient may come in with high fever and cough typical for pneumonia but an infiltrate on the chest film may not appear for 12 to 24 hr.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
