43
Q

adhesion

A

band of scar tissue binding anatomical surfaces that are normally separate from each other

44
Q

inflammation

A

protective response of body tissue to irritation, infection, or allergy

45
Q

sepsis

A

body’s inflammatory response to infection in which there is fever, elevated heart and respiratory rates, and low blood pressure

46
Q

endoscopy

A

visual examination of the interior of organs and cavities with a specialized lighted instrument called and endoscope

47
Q

fluoroscopy

A

radiographic procedure that uses a fluorescent screen instead of a photographic plate to produce a visual image from x-rays that pass through the patient, resulting in continuous imaging of the motion of internal structures and immediate serial images

48
Q

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

A

Radiographic technique that uses electromagnetic energy to produce multiplanar cross-sectional images of the body

49
Q

Nuclear scan

A

diagnostic technique that produces an image of an organ or area by recording the concentration of a radiopharmaceutical substance called a tracer, usually introduced into the body by ingestion, inhalation, or injection

50
Q

radiography

A

production of captured shadow images on photographic film through the action of ionizing radiation passing through the body from an external source

51
Q

radiopharmaceutical

A

drug that contains a radioactive substance, which travels to an area or a specific organ that will be scanned

52
Q

tomography

A

radiographic technique that produces a film representing a detailed cross-section of tissue structure at a predetermined depth

53
Q

computed tomography (CT) scan

A

narrow beam of x-rays with a contrast medium or without a contrast medium that targets a specific organ or body area to produce multiple cross-sectional images for detecting pathological conditions such as tumors or metastases

54
Q

Positron emission tomography (PET) scan

A

nuclear imaging study that combines CT with radio-pharmaceutical to produce a cross-sectional image of radioactive dispersements in a section of the body to reveal the areas where the radiopharmaceutical is being metabolized and where there is a deficiency in metabolism; useful in evaluating Alzheimer disease and epilepsy

55
Q

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan

A

nuclear imaging study that scans organs after injection of a radioactive tracer and employs a specialized gamma camera that detects emitted radiation to produce a there-dimensional image from a composite of numerous views; used to show how blood flows to an organ and helps determine how well the organ is functioning

56
Q

ultrasonography (US)

A

imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) that bounce off body tissues and are recorded to produce an image of an internal organ or tissue
