Question

Which of the following are the techniques for detection of cancer of internal organs?
a) Radiography, MRI
b) MRI, computed tomography
c) Widal test, radiography
d) MRI, widal test

• A. b and c
• B. b and d
• C. a and b
• D. a and c

Hint:

Focus on imaging: Radiography, MRI, and CT are primary tools for cancer detection. Tests like Widal are for infectious diseases, not oncology.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

• Definition of Techniques: The question asks for imaging techniques used to detect cancer in internal organs, which are non-invasive methods providing detailed internal visuals.
• Option Analysis:
  • (a) Radiography, MRI: Radiography uses X-rays to create images of internal structures, while MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses magnetic fields and radio waves for detailed soft tissue imaging. Both are widely used for cancer detection.
  • (b) MRI, Computed Tomography (CT): MRI is already covered, and CT scans use X-rays to produce cross-sectional images, highly effective for identifying tumors. This is a valid technique.
  • (c) Widal Test, Radiography: The Widal test is a blood test for diagnosing typhoid fever, not cancer. This is irrelevant for cancer detection.
  • (d) MRI, Widal Test: Combining MRI with a typhoid test has no medical basis for cancer detection. This is incorrect.
• Correct Combination: Options (3) a and b include Radiography/MRI and CT, both of which are established cancer detection methods.
• Conclusion: The correct answer is (3) a and b, as they represent valid imaging techniques for cancer diagnosis.
