Final Flashcards
separated from shaft by epiphyseal growth plate
Epiphysis in long bones
forms a protrusion from the growth plate
Apophysis:
separates the diaphysis and physis (epiphyseal growth plate)
Metaphysis:
Ultrasound Sonography is a procedure which:
Uses a transducer or probe to generate sound waves and produce pictures of the body’s internal structures.
When performing bedside assessment of the lungs for a pneumothorax , an ultrasound sonograph is more accurate modality to determine a pneumothorax, with a greater sensitivity than a bedside chest x-ray.
TRUE
Ultrasound sonography of the shoulder may be used to assess the following pathologies (except):
