Process of recording sound

Aka ultrasonography US

Visualizes soft tissue structures, blood movement, tissue denseness

Can examine heart, blood vessels, eyes, thyroid, brain, breast,abdomen, skin and muscle

Q

Computed tomography

CT

A

Imaging modality that combines x-rays with computer technology to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the body called slices. Oral or intravenous contrast agent may be given to highlight specific regions in the body, resulting in clear images.

Visualizes internal organs, movement of blood, and denseness of tissue

Can examine bones, heart,lungs,vessels, and abdomen

Can detect disease, injuries, fractures, clots, internal bleeding, and tumors

69
Q

Fluoroscopy

A

Imaging of moving body structures like an x-rayed movie. An x-ray beam is passed through the body part being studied, and then the image is transmitted to a monitor in real time that the movement can be seen in detail. Contrast agent is often used to help identify, and assess the function of different structures
