Diagnostic Imaging Review Flashcards
IMAGE STUDIES OF JOINTS, PERFORMED BY FLUOROSCOPY.
ARTHROGRAMS
AGENTS INJECTED INTO ARTERIES, VEINS, DUCTS OR SUBARACHNOID SPACES TO HIGHLIGHT AREA.
CONTRAST MEDIA
IMAGE STUDIES OF THE SPINE PERFORMED BY FLUOROSCOPY.
MYELOGRAMS
AN XRAY/RADIOGRAPH THAT UTILIZES AN IMAGE INTENSIFIER TO SHOW MOVING IMAGES IN REAL TIME.
FLUOROSCOPY
A TYPE OF MATERIAL THAT ALLOWS X-RAYS TO PASS THROUGH, SUCH AS AN OR TABLE USED WITH C-ARM.
RADIOLUCENT
WHAT COLOR DOES AIR APPEAR ON AN X-RAY?
BLACK
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF AN MRI OVER CT SCAN?
MRI SLICES CAN BE TAKEN FROM ANY DIRECTION, WHERE A CT SCAN CAN ONLY IMAGE FROM A SINGLE AXIS OF ROTATON IN THE AXIAL OR TRANSVERSE PLANE. MRI ALSO USES NO IONZING RADIATION
CONTRAST MEDIA FOR RADIOGRAPHY STUDIES ARE MOST FREQUENTLY MADE WITH ONE OF WHIHC TWO COMPOUNDS?
IODINE OR BARIUM SULFATE
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) AND SCINTIGRAPHY ARE BOTH USE FOR WHAT TYPE OF IMAGING?
RADIOISOTOPE, RADIONUCLIDE OR NUCLEAR MEDICINE IMAGING
WHY WOULD A MYELOGRAPHY BE USED INSTEAD OF MRI FOR PATIENTS WIHT NECK, BACK OR LEG PAIN?
THE PATIENT MAY HAVE METALLIC IMPLANTS THAT WOULD PREVENT THE USE OF MRI
THE CONTRAST MEDIUM FOR —————- IS NOT IODINE BASED, BUT MADE OF PARAMAGNETIC METAL IONS FROM GADOLINIUM.
MRI
AN ULTRASOUND CANNOT BE USED TO IMAGE STRUCTURES THAT CONTAIN?
AIR
