Successful completion of the MDCB’s examinations and certification by it is intended to act as an indicator to medical professionals, patients and the general public that an individual possesses a specific level of skill. Because persons who require the services of a Medical Dosimetrist are generally suffering from serious conditions and diseases, treatment by and with a certified expert is intended to provide a level of assurance as to the professional’s qualifications.  \nTest integrity and security are paramount concerns. The use of legitimate study, reference and preparation materials is appropriate and expected. For that reason, the MDCB has assembled the Sample Practice Tests Manual (the “Manual”) for use by candidates. The items contained in the Manual are retired test questions. They provide a candidate with examples of the type of questions, which may appear on the actual examination, and the possible format of the questions. They also demonstrate difficulty levels and may provide some information relating to test content, which has been addressed in prior examinations.  \nNone of the items in the Manual should be relied upon for accuracy or correctness. Because of progress in the field and changes in the scientific arts, content, which may have been current when an item was inuse, may no longer be accurate. What was once the best answer to a question may no longer be current. Candidates are advised that the information in the Manual should be confirmed by independent study and research. The Manual is intended to provide candidates with a general familiarity of the examination style and format and is meant to foster study and preparation. It should not be relied upon as authoritative or necessarily substantive.  \nThe information contained in the Manual is proprietary. The items are copyrighted and none of the Manual is to be reproduced by any means, disseminated in any manner, copied, distributed, disclosed, published or re-published for any purpose to any person or entity whatsoever without the express permission and written consent of the MDCB. Activity as described above may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution.  \n1. Which one of the following DVH results for a pancreatic treatment plan of conventional fractionation meets QUANTEC recommended dose tolerances?  \nA. 75% of the left kidney will receive 30 Gy.  \nB. 50% of the right kidney will receive 40 Gy.  \nC. 50% of the liver will receive 42 Gy.  \nD. 25% of the stomach will receive 45 Gy.  \n2. Which of the following is TRUE regarding clinical electron beams?  \nA. High energy electrons lose energy at a rate of approximately 2 MeV per cm of water or soft tissue.  \nB. The depth of the 80% isodose occurs at approximately 1/4 of the electron energy in MeV.  \nC. The depth of the 90% isodose occurs at approximately 1/3 of the electron energy in MeV.  \nD. The practical range of electrons (in cm of water) is approximately 2 times the energy in MeV.  \n3. What factors are instrumental in determining the dose uniformity in equally weighted parallel opposed beams?  \nA. beam energy, tissue inhomogeneity, and patient thickness  \nB. beam energy, patient thickness, and tissue maximum ratio  \nC. beam flatness, patient thickness, and collimator scatter  \nD. patient thickness, inhomogeneity, and collimator scatter  \n4. Which of the following computer algorithms can most accurately account for the dose calculation uncertainty in the interface region between inhomogeneous materials for photon calculations?  \nA. convolution/superposition  \nB. Monte Carlo method  \nC. pencil beam method  \nD. ray tracing  \n5. An IMRT technique in which the patient is treated slice by slice by intensity-modulated beamsin a manner analogous to CT imaging is called:  \nA. step-and-shoot therapy.  \n","cbCailZYeTUaTh0k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailZYeTUaTh0k","pdf",1142302,59,"English","# Statement of Purpose and Usage\n## Practice Questions","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the MDCB practice test manual?\",\"answer\":\"It provides candidates examples of question types and formats used in the certification examination, along with difficulty levels and some historical test content context.\"},{\"question\":\"Can candidates rely on the manual answers as authoritative and current?\",\"answer\":\"No. The items are retired questions and must not be relied upon for accuracy or correctness; content may no longer be current, so independent study and research are required.\"},{\"question\":\"What is emphasized regarding test integrity and preparation materials?\",\"answer\":\"Test integrity and security are paramount, and the use of legitimate study, reference, and preparation materials is expected.\"}]","MDCB Practice Test 1 - Statement of Purpose and Usage - Practice Questions | PDF",1790328381,149]
