Anatomical Term & Imaging Tech Flashcards
Which plane splits the individual into superior and inferior portions?
Transverse plane
Which plane splits the individual into Left & Right portions?
Sagitaal plane
Which plane splits the individual into anterior and posterior portions?
Coronal plane
The foot is ____ to the knee
Distal
The eye is ___ to the ear
Medial
The Latissimus dorsi is ___ to the Trapezius
Inferior
The Rhomboid Major/Minor is ___ to the Trapezius
Deep
The Deltoid is _____ to the Bicep brachii
Proximal
The hand is ____ to the forearm
Distal
What are the (2) primary body regions?
- Axial
- Appendicular
The axial region can be subdivided into what structures?
Structures along the vertical axis of the body;
- Head
- Neck
- Trunk
The Appendicular Region can be subdivided into what categories?
Upper & Lower limbs
What are the (4) imaging modalities
- Xray (Radiography)
- CT
- MRI
- US
On an XRay, Air/Fat is observed as what color?
Dark; black/grey
What are (2) orientations of XRays?
Which is more beneficial and why?
A. Anterior-Posterior (AP) and Posterior-Anterior (PA), relative to the direction of the XRay beam.
B. The PA is more beneficial because there is less interference caused by the pericardial sac in AP XRays
AP should only when the patient is unable to stand or move.
XRays only occur in what dimensions?
2D
Describe the Soft tissue and Bone detail of XRays
Soft Tissue: Poor
Bone: Excellent
On a CT Scan, Bone and Contrast are observed as what colors?
Very light/White
What dimensions can CT be rendered in?
2D: basic CT
3D: Helical CT
Describe the detail of Soft-Tissue and Bone in CT’s
Soft-Tissue: Poor
Bone: Excellent
In what Dimensions can an MRI be rendered?
2D & 3D (Primarily 3D)
On an MRI, Fat is observed as what color?
T1: White
T2: Dark
T1 & T2 are the inverse of eachother
Describe the detail of Soft-Tissue and Bone detail from MRI’s
Soft-Tissue: Excellent
Bone: Poor
In what dimensions can US be rendered?
2D
3D
4D (Doppler US; US in motion)
Describe the Soft-Tissue and Bone detail in US
Soft-Tissue: Poor
Bone: Poor
Between the (4) modalities, give the Cost-trend, from Greatest to Least
Greatest | MRI > US > XRay > CT | Cheapest
Between the (4) modalities, give the detail of Soft-tissue trend, from best to worst
Best | MRI > CT > US/XRay | Worst
Between the (4) modalities, give the detail of Bone trend, from best to worst
Best | XRay/CT > MRI > US | Worst
Between the (4) modalities, give the radiation exposure trend, from greatest to least
Greatest | CT > XRay > MRI/US > Least
Between the (4) modalities, give the duration of procedure trend, from Longest to Shortest
Longest | MRI > US > CT > XRay | Shortest
