Chapter 20 Practice Pt 2 Flashcards
radioactive substance is given intravenously and a cross-sectional image is created of cellular metabolism based on local concentration of the radioactive substance
positron emission tomography
radiopaque substances are given and x-rays taken
contrast studies
medical specialty that studies the used of radioactive substances (radionuclides) in diagnosis of disease
nuclear medicine
this type of nuclear medicine imaging provides pictures of the lymphatic system
lymphoscintigraphy
x-ray pictures are taken circularly around an area of the body and a computer synthesizes the information into a composite axial picture
computed tomography
myelography
spinal cord
pyelography
renal pelvis of kidney and urinary tract
lymphoscintigraphy
lymphatic system
cholangiography
bile vessels (ducts)
upper GI series
esophagus, stomach, and small intestine
barium enema
lower gastrointestinal tract
hysterosalpingography
uterus and fallopian tubes
angiography
blood vessels
process, test of procedure performed, measured or observes outside a living organism
in vitro
medical specialty that studies the uses of radioactive substances in diagnosis of disease
nuclear medicine
test that combines radioactive chemicals and antibodies to detect minute quantities of substances in a patients blood
radioimmunoassay
radiopharmaceutical used in nuclear medicine studies
labeled compound
permitting the passage of x-rays
radiolucent
medical specialty concerned with the study of x-rays and their use in the diagnosis of disease
radiology
radioactive form of an element; radionuclide
radioisotope
magnetic field and radio waves produce images of the body in three planes (coronal, sagittal, and axial)
magnetic resonance (MR)
process, test or procedure performed, measured or observed in a living organizm
in vivo
radioactive substance us given intravenously and a cross-sectional image is created of cellular metabolism based on local concentration of the radioactive substance
positron emission tomography (PET)
