Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

  1. Which type of neural network has been most foundational for analyzing medical images?
    • Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
    • Recurrent networks for audio
    • Decision trees
    • Spreadsheet macros
  2. What does the Viz.ai system do?
    • Schedules hospital cafeteria menus
    • Analyzes CT scans to flag suspected large-vessel strokes and alert the team
    • Translates radiology reports into music
    • Replaces the CT scanner hardware
  3. What is the U-Net architecture commonly used for in imaging?
    • Generating song lyrics
    • Compressing video games
    • Per-pixel segmentation, like outlining a tumor or organ
    • Encrypting patient passwords
  4. What regulatory pathway did FDA use for the named Viz.ai imaging device?
    • A blanket approval covering all imaging-AI tools
    • A drug marketing authorization
    • An exemption from all clinical evidence requirements
    • A De Novo classification decision for a specific device and intended use
  5. A key reason an imaging AI might fail on a new hospital's data is:
    • Differences in scanner type, protocol, or patient population from training data
    • The scans are too colorful
    • The model dislikes the building
    • Images are always identical everywhere
  6. What do U-Net skip connections carry from the encoder to the decoder?
    • A patient’s medical record number
    • Higher-resolution feature maps that help recover spatial detail
    • A radiology report’s billing code
    • Only a global class label
  7. Why should medical-imaging datasets generally be split at the patient level?
    • To make every scanner appear in only one dataset
    • To guarantee equal disease prevalence
    • To reduce leakage from multiple correlated images of the same patient across train and test sets
    • To remove the need for external validation
  8. What does probability calibration assess in an imaging model?
    • Whether the scanner has been recently serviced
    • Whether every image has the same resolution
    • Whether the model segments the correct number of organs
    • Whether predictions assigned a probability match observed frequencies over evaluated cases
