Q

Radiological technique that integrates CT and a radioactive material or tracer injected into the bloodstream to visualize blood flow to tissues and organs

A

Single photon emission computed tomography SPECT

22
Q

Radio graphic technique that produces an image representing a detailed cross section or slice of an area tissue or organ at a predetermined depth

A

Tomography

Ex: CT PET and SPECT

23
Q

Imaging procedure using high frequency sound waves that display the reflected echoes on a monitor

A

30
Q

Surgical technique employing a device that emits intend heat and power at close range to cut, burn, vaporize, or destroy tissues

A

Laser surgery

31
Q

Surgical removal of tissue in an extensive area surrounding the surgical site in an attempt to excise all the tissue that may be malignant and decrease the chance of recurrence

A

Radical dissection

32
Q
