Alternative imaging Flashcards
MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging
Used no xrays, uses high magnetic fields.
MRI
Small amount of radioactive material is injected in the patient
Nuclear scintography
Fluoroscopy
Live xray
Xray travel upward from the table
Fluoroscopy
PET
Positron emissions tomography
Allows us to be able to send xrays and ultrasounds
Teleradiology
CT
Computer tomography
Moves 360 degrees around the patient.
Computed tomography
Uses no X-rays.
MRI
Radioactive material is injected into the patient.
Nuclear scintography
A live X-ray viewed on a television screen.
Fluoroscopy
Makes it able to send emails of digital images.
Teleradiology
Advantages of digital imaging?
Allows more soft tissue imaging, does not need a processor, can be adjusted on the computer, reduces retakes
CR
Computed radiology systems
No film is used in this imaging.
CR
What type of waves do ultrasounds use?
Sound
One dimensional imaging shown as peeks on a graph
A-mode
Two dimensional imaging depicted in dots.
B mode
Two dime trial imaging to show fluid flow
M mode
Appears bright on the monitor.
Echogenic
Appears black on imaging.
Sonolucent
Appears black, often fluid.
Aenchoic
