Midterm | Rad Correlation (Circulatory System) Flashcards
The alternate expansion and recoil of elastic arteries aft er each systole of the left ventricle creates this traveling pressure wave
Pulse
8 Common pulse points
- Superficial temporal artery
- Facial artery
- Common carotid artery
- Brachial artery
- Femoral artery
- Popliteal artery
- Radial artery
- Dorsal artery of foot
Location of Superficial temporal artery
Medial to ear
Location of Facial artery
Mandible (lower jawbone) on line with corners of mouth
Location of Common carotid artery
Lateral to larynx
Location of Brachial artery
Medial side of biceps brachii muscle
Location of Femoral artery
Inferior to inguinal ligament
Location of Popliteal artery
Posterior to knee
Location of Radial artery
Lateral aspect of wrist
Location of Dorsal artery of foot
Superior to instep of foot
Pressure in arteries generated by the left ventricle during systole and the pressure remaining in the arteries when the ventricle is in diastole.
Blood pressure
NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE
120/80
Pressure exerted when blood is ejected into arteries
Systolic blood pressure
Normal systolic blood pressure
120mmHg or below
Pressure blood exerts within arteries between heartbeats
Diastolic blood pressure
An over-wire technique of catheter insertion to obtain safe percutaneous access to vessels and hollow organs
Seldinger Technique
Radiographic examination of thoracic aorta
THORACIC AORTOGRAPHY
Indications for THORACIC AORTOGRAPHY
- Aortic aneurysm
- Congenital/ Post-surgical condition
Radiographic study of the abdominal aorta after introduction of contrast medium through a catheter
ABDOMINAL AORTOGRAPHY
Indications for ABDOMINAL AORTOGRAPHY
- Aoritc aneurysm
- Occlusion
- Atherosclerosis
An X-ray of the blood vessels of the lungs
PULMONARY ARTERIOGRAPHY
Indications for PULMONARY ARTERIOGRAPHY
- Blockages
PULMONARY ARTERIOGRAPHY vs BRONCHOGRAPHY
PULMONARY ARTERIOGRAPHY: Tests BV
BRONCHOGRAPHY: Tests bronchial tree
A diagnostic procedure that involves the visualization of blood vessels supplying the abdominal organs using contrast material and x-rays
ABDOMINAL VISCERAL ARTERIOGRAPHY
Indications for ABDOMINAL VISCERAL ARTERIOGRAPHY
Visualizes tumor vascularity to rule out
1. Thrombosis
2. Occlusion
3. Atherosclerosis
4. Bleeding
Diagnostic procedure used to visualize the veins of the upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts of the body
SUPERIOR/ INFERIOR VENACOGRAM
Indications for SUPERIOR/ INFERIOR VENACOGRAM
- Thrombosis
- Occlusion
Types of VISCERAL VENOGRAPHY
A. Hepatic venography
B. Renal venography
A method of visualization of the hepatic veins by direct injection of a radiopaque substance through a special catheter into a liver vein
Hepatic venography
X-ray images of renal veins, obtained by injecting contrast medium in a large vein; detects renal vein thrombosis
Renal venography
Indications for VISCERAL VENOGRAPHY
- Stenosis
- Thrombosis
- Occlusion
Radiographic examination of upper limb veins in which contrast is injected into the veins or arteries of the wrist to visualize the abnormalities of the forearm and arm veins or arteries.
UPPER LIMB ARTERIOGRAPHY and VENOGRAPHY
Indications for UPPER/ LOWER LIMB ARTERIOGRAPHY and VENOGRAPHY
- Stenosis
- Thrombosis
- Occlusion
Diagnostic procedures used to evaluate the arteries and veins of the lower extremities
LOWER LIMB ARTERIOGRAPHY and VENOGRAPHY
X-ray imaging of the arterial blood vessels in the brain after injection of contrast material
CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY
Use of medical imaging techniques to guide doctors as they diagnose and treat certain problems with blood vessels and lymph vessels throughout the body
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHY
COMMON PATHOLOGIES
1.Atherosclerosis
2.Cardiomegaly
3.Stenosis
4.Occlusion
A. Thrombosis
B. Embolism
Condition in which fatty deposits called plaque build up on the inner walls of the arteries
Atherosclerosis
Abnormal enlargement of the heart
Cardiomegaly
Narrowing of the blood vessels
Stenosis
Complete obstruction of a blood vessel
Occlusion
Occlusion can be:
a. Thrombosis
b. Embolism
Blood clot
Thrombosis
The sudden blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus
Embolism
