Question 3

Patient is given radioactive thallium intravenously and then scanning equipment is used to visualize heart; especially useful in determining myocardial damage

Answer 3

Cardiac scan

Question 4

Measurement of sound-eave echoes as they bounce off tissues and organs to produce an image; procedure is used to measure velocity of blood moving through blood vessels to look for blood clots or deep vein thromboses

Answer 4

Doppler ultrasonography

Question 5

Noninvasive diagnostic procedure using ultrasound to visualize internal cardiac structures; cardiac valve activity can be evaluated using this method

Answer 5

Echocardiography
