25
The body is exposed to a high-energy magnetic field, which causes protons (small positive particles within atoms, such as hydrogen) in body fluids and tissues to arrange themselves in relation to the field. Then a pulse of radio waves “reads” these ion patterns, and a color-coded image is assembled on a video monitor. The result is a two- or three-dimensional blueprint of cellular chemistry. (Which imaging technique is described here?)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
26
What does MRI stand for?
Magnetic Reasonance Imaging
27
Which imaging technique cannot be used on patients with metal in their body?
MRI
28
Which imaging technique shows fine details for soft tissues but not for bones?
MRI
29
Which imaging technique is most useful for differentiating between normal and abnormal tissues?
MRI
30
Used to detect tumors and artery-clogging fatty plaques; reveal brain abnormalities; measure blood flow; and detect a variety of musculoskeletal, liver, and kidney disorders.
MRI
31
Which imaging technique is shown here?
MRI
32
In this form of computer-assisted radiography, an x-ray beam traces an arc at multiple angles around a section of the body.
Computed Tomography (CT)
