95
Q 
X-rays passing through the body onto film
• Fewer rays pass through dense structures
to reach film and show up lighter
• Denser structures (bones) = lighter
color, Less dense (spaces) = black
• Everything will be shades of gray
• Low radiation
• Low cost
A

Radiography

96
Q 
Computer assisted radiography in which
x-rays are directed in many different
angles around a section of the body
• Visualizes soft tissues
• Creates flat slices through the body
• Like X-ray denser structure = lighter
color
• Uses radiation
• Higher cost
A

Computerized Tomography

97
Q

Visualizes structures by recording pulses of
ultrasonic waves bouncing off tissues
• Cross sectional image viewed in real time
• Can demonstrate movement
• Doppler ultrasonography can detect velocity of
moving object – can be used for blood blood
flow
• Low cost
• No radiation
• Portable

A

Ultrasonography

98
Q 
• The machine uses a large magnet
and a computer to take pictures of the
inside of your body. Each picture or
"slice" shows only a few layers of body
tissue at a time. The pictures can then
be examined on a computer monitor
• Similar to CT images but better for
tissue differentiation
• No radiation
• High cost
A

MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging

99
Q 
Body is injected with radioactive
isotopes - decay quickly, positrons are
released
• Areas with high number of positrons
are more active
• Good for showing high rates of activity:
oxygen consumption, metabolism (FDGfluorodeoxyglucose)
• High cost
• Higher radiation
• Lower resolution than fMRI
A

Nuclear Imaging
