band of scar tissue binding anatomical surfaces

Question 2

inflammation

Answer 2

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

Question 3

sepsis

Answer 3

Body’s inflammatory response to infection, which there is fever, elevated heart and respiratory rate, and Low blood pressure

Question 4

endoscopy

Answer 4

Visual examination of the interior of organs and cavities w/ a specialized lighted instrument

Question 5

fluoroscopy

Answer 5

radiographic procedure that uses a fluorescent screen to produce a visual image from x-rays that pass through patient, imaging of the motion of internal structures

Question 6

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Answer 6

radiographic technique that uses electromagnetic energy to produce multi-planar cross sectional images of the body

Question 7

nuclear scan

Answer 7

image of an organ or area by recording the concentration of a radiopharmaceutical introduced into the body

Question 8

radiography

Answer 8

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

Question 9

radiopharmaceutical

Answer 9

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

Question 10

scan

Answer 10

technique for carefully studying an area, organ, or system of the body by recording and displaying an image of the area

Question 11

tomography

Answer 11

radiographic technique that produces a film representing a detailed cross-section, or slice, of an area, tissue, or organ at a predetermined depth

Question 12

computed tomography (CT)

Answer 12

radiographic technique that uses a narrow beam of x-rays that rotates in a full arc around the patient to acquire multiple views of the body that a coputer interprets to produce cross-sectional images of that body part

Question 13

positron emission tomography (PET)

Answer 13

radiographic technique combining computed tomography with radio pharmaceuticals that produces a cross-sectional (transverse) image to reveal the areas where the radiopharmaceutical is being metabolized and where there is a deficiency in metabolism

Question 14

single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)

Answer 14

type of nuclear imaging study that scans organs after injection of a radioactive tracer with a gamma camera that produces a 3D image from a composite of numerous views

Question 15

Ultrasonography (US)

Answer 15

imaging technique that uses ultrasound that bounce off body tissues and are recorded to produce an image of an internal organ/tissue

Question 16

Doppler

Answer 16

Ultra high-frequency sound waves that are used to produce audible sound of blood flowing through an artery

Question 17

Anastomosis

Answer 17

connection between two vessels;surgical joining of two ducts, blood vessels, or bowel segments to allow flow from one to the other

Question 18

cauterize

Answer 18

process of burning abnormal tissue w/ electricity, freezing, heat, or chemicals
