Q

Which diagnostic test is this?
-magnetic waves, not xrays, are used to create an image of the body organs
-the image can be taken in several planes of the body (frontal (coronal), sagittal (side), and transverse (axial or cross section)- and are particularly useful for studying tumors of the brain and spinal cord and abnormalities of the chest, abdomen, and head

Q

Which diagnostic test is this?
-images produced by beaming sound waves into the body and capturing echoes that bounce off organs
-these echos are the processed to produce an image showing the difference between fluid and solid masses and the general position of the organs

Q

Which diagnostic test is this?
-a radioactive substance is injected through IV and its uptake in bones is detected with a scanning device
-tumors in bone/bone lesions can be detected by increased uptake of the radioactive material in the areas of the lesions

Q

Which diagnostic test is this?
-IV injected radioactive substance is collected in any lesion that disturbs the natural barrier that exists between blood vessels and normal brain tissue (BBB), allowing the radioactive substance to enter the brain tissue
-can identify areas of tumor, abscess, or hematoma

A

brain scan

17
Q

Which diagnostic test is this?
-radioactive gallium (gallium citrate) is injected
-collects in areas of certain tumors (Hodgkin disease) and in areas of infection

A

gallium scan

18
Q

Which diagnostic test is this?
-radioactive iodine substance is injected through IV and collects in the thyroid gland
-the increased or decreased activity of the gland is demonstrated by the glands capacity to use the radioactive iodine; also evaluates the position, size, and functioning of the thyroid gland

A

thyroid scan

19
Q

Which procedure is this?
-surgical puncture to remove fluid from the amnion (sac that surrounds the fetus) in the uterus
-used for chromosomal and chemical analysis

A

amniocentesis

20
Q

Which procedure is this?
-surgical procedure to remove fluid from a joint

A

arthrocentesis

21
Q

Which procedure is this?
-process of listening for sounds produced within the body
-performed with a stethoscope to determine the condition of the chest or abdominal organs

A

auscultation

22
Q

Which procedure is this?
-removal of a piece of tissue from the body and subsequent exam of the tissue with a microscope
-can be done with surgical knife, by needle aspiration, or via endoscopic removal

A

biopsy

23
Q

Which procedure is this?
-removal of a small amount of bone marrow
-often from the iliac crest
-helpful in determining the number and type of cells in the bone marrow

A

bone marrow biopsy

24
Q

Which procedure is this?
-insertion of an endoscope into the airway to examine the lining of the bronchial tubes and remove tissue for biopsy

A

bronchoscopy

25
Q

Which procedure is this?
-insertion of an endoscope through the rectum and into and upward through the colon for visual exam and biopsy for growths/polyps

A

colonoscopy

26
Q

Which procedure is this?

-useful in detecting abnormalities in heart rhythms/heart disorders

A

electrocardiography

27
Q

Which procedure is this?
-insertion of needle electrodes into muscle to record electrical activity
-detects injuries and diseases that affect muscles and nerves

A

electromyography

28
Q

Which procedure is this?
-insertion of an endoscope into the abdomen
-used to remove organs such as gallbladder, appendix, and ovary

A

laparoscopy

29
Q

Lab tests can be performed on….

A

-blood
-plasma
-serum
-urine
-feces
-sputum
-CSF
-skin

30
Q

Elevated levels of acid phosphatase in serum indicates what?

A

metastatic prostate cancer

31
Q

Elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase in serum indicates what?

A

liver disease, bone disease, or bone cancer

32
Q

Which lab test is this?
-sample of plasma is tested for the presence of Abs that are found in the patients with SLE

A

antinuclear antibody test

33
Q

Bence Jones protein is found in serum and urine only if the patient has…

A

cancerous bone marrow cells (multiple myeloma)

34
Q

CSF lab tests look at what?

A

proteins, blood cells, and microorganisms

35
Q

Which lab test is this?
-measurement of the rate at which RBCs in well mixed venous blood settle to the bottom of a test tube
-if the rate is slow, it may indicate inflammatory conditions like RA

A

erythrocyte sedimentation rate

36
Q

Which lab test is this?
-test to determine how the blood uses glucose
-blood and urine samples are collected after the patient has fasted
-then a solution of glucose is given orally
-half hour later, blood and urine samples are obtained and may be collected every hour for 4-5 hours
-can indicate abnormal conditions like diabetes or hypoglycemia

A

glucose tolerance test

37
Q

Which lab test is this?
-blood test that measures the amount of an antigen elevated in all patients with prostatic cancer and also in some with an inflamed prostate gland

A

prostate specific antigen
