Q

How is a CT scan created

A
  • thousands of mathematical calculations calculate Voxel

with a pixel of 512x512

30
Q

What is Voxel

A

volume of tissue

31
Q

this scale assigns densities to tissues; quantitative

A

Hounsfield Unit scale

32
Q

examples of HU

A 
-1000 air 
0 Water 
20 to 40 soft tissue
40 old blood
80 to 100 acute blood
700 Medullar B
800 Corticullar B
1000 Metal
33
Q

Center of the gray scale

- set the HU for the interested organ or part

34
Q

the width of the gray scale that surrounds the level

35
Q

if pixel qualit is greater than defined window

A

pic will be white

36
Q

pixel density less than defined window

A

pic will be black

37
Q

patient’s right side is

A

on the left side

38
Q

Limit patient exposure to radiation

A

set ct xray dose low as possible

- images can be reformatted without additional xray needed

39
Q

Computed T Angiography

A
  • for arterial imaging
  • intercranial arteries for Aneurysm
  • Pumonary A for P embolism
  • contrast is injected
40
Q

This uses highly magnetic field and radio

41
Q

Has high modality magnets

42
Q

What can FMRI detect

A

Neurologic and Musculoskeletal imaging

43
Q

the parameters set result in the acquisition of a set of images

A

MR imaging sequence

44
Q

in what position should be when taking breast mri

45
Q

when is Open magnets mri used

A

for children
obese people
claustrophobic people

46
Q

this is the chemical injected when doing mri scans

A

Gadolinium

47
Q

what to be cautious of when starting mri

A
  • implanted objects

because of the high strength magnetic field

48
Q

This uses high frequency sound waves

  • no ionization
  • acoustic gel used
A

Ultrasound

49
Q

what is the name of ultrasound inducers

50
Q

diff types of probes

A

linear probes

  • endo- cavitry probe
  • curved area
51
Q

this is a type of UT probe

- potimal for abdomial and obstetric imaging

A

Curved array

52
Q

this is a type of UT probe

- best for vascular and small superficial structures

53
Q

this is a type of UT probe

- best for prostate gland and female pelvic

A

Endo Cavitry

54
Q

Ultra sound are real time imaging

55
Q

what are the images of UT called

56
Q

what is the depth of UT

A

declining as it goes further

57
Q

sound is reflected back from tissue to be measured by UT

58
Q

ability to reflect waves in context of surrounding tissues

A

Echogenicity

59
Q

sound cannot reflect back
- it is pitch black
`

60
Q

sound is reflected back to the UT

  • probe is decreased
  • black screen
A

hypoechoic

61
Q

as white

62
Q

sound reflected back is increased compared to other tissues

- white on screen

A

Hyperechoic

63
Q

PER-WHI-ISO

A

HYPERECHOIC
WHITE
ISOECHOIC

64
Q

PO-BLA-NA

A

HYPOECHOIC
BLACK
ANECHOIC

65
Q

Uses high frequency sound waves to to analyze flowing of liquids
- can change frequency to analyse blood flow

A

Doppler UT

66
Q

in what time and length is doppler ut analyzed

67
Q

what colors represent the flow of blood

A

towards probe- orange/red

away from probe- blue

68
Q

Permeable to one or another form of radiation, such as X-rays. Radiolucent objects do not block radiation but let it pass

A

radioluscent

69
Q

structures that are dense and resist the passage of x-rays. structures appear light or white in a radiographic image.

A

Radiopaque

70
Q

MRI image that is white
