Q
  1. What does Fluoroscopy make use of?
A
  • it uses fluorescent materials
  • these convert the X-Rays into visible light
  • they do this onto a Phosphor screen

Q
  1. What kind of quality are the individual Fluoroscopy images?
A
  • they are of a much lower quality
  • this can be achieved with single image receptors in
    terms of:
    • spatial resolution
    • noise
    • contrast

Q
  1. Why is Fluoroscopy important?
A
  • it has replaced many surgical procedures
  • the X-Ray guidance of this technique allows us to insert
    medical equipment into the human body
  • this takes away the need to do an open surgery

Q
  1. What does these images represent?
A
  • a mobile C-arm
  • this machine can be rotated and positioned to look at
    various aspects of the patient
  • this machine can be transferred to various rooms
    within the hospital

Q
  1. What is the mobile O-arm?
A
  • it is a medical device
  • it is based on X-Ray technology
  • it is a multi-dimensional surgical imaging platform
17
Q
  1. In which settings do we use the O-arm?
A
  • we use it flexibly in various ORs within a clinic
18
Q
  1. What aspect of the O-arm is responsible for its name?
A
  • the O-shaped arm
  • this is use to connect the X-Ray source to the X-Ray
    detector
19
Q
  1. In parts of the body do we image using the O-arm?
A
  • spine
  • orthopaedic
  • trauma-related surgeries
20
Q
  1. Between the C-arm and the O-arm, which produces higher quality images?
A
  • the O-arm
21
Q
  1. What kind of images can we obtain from the O-arm?
A
  • both 2D and 3D images
22
Q
  1. What kind of images can we obtain from the C-arm?
A
  • only 2D images
23
Q
  1. What do we use Angiography for?
A
  • it is used to visualise the inside of blood vessels
  • it is used to visualise the inside of the organs of the
    body
24
Q
  1. What is Tomography?
A
  • this is a kind of imaging
  • it images by sections (sectioning) that uses any kind of
    penetrating wave
  • it is a type of real time imaging
25
Q
  1. Which 3 parts of the body does Angiography take a particular interest in?
A
  • arteries
  • veins
  • heart chambers
26
Q
  1. How does Angiography work?
A
  • it is done by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent
    into the blood vessel
  • the imaging is done using X-Ray based techniques
    (such as Fluoroscopy)

NB:
- we can see if there are any blockages that restrict the
flow of blood
