| (i) Cancer detection is based on biospy and histophathological studies of the tissue, and blood and bone marrow tests for increased cell counts in case of leukaemia |
| (ii) In biopsy, a piece of the suspected tissue cut into thin sections is stained and examined under microscope by a pathologist |
| (iii) Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. |
| (iv) Computed tomography uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionising radiations to detect physiological changes in living tissues. |
| (v) MRI uses X-rays and ionising radiation to generate a 3-D image of the internal structure of an object. |
| Which of the above statements are incorrect? |
A) (i) and (iii)
B) (ii) and (iv)
C) (iii) and (iv)
D) (iv) and (v)
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Computed tomography uses X-rays to generate a three-dimensional image of the internal structure of an object. MRI uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionising radiations to accurately detect pathological and physiological changes in the living tissues.
