“Doppler flow studies” are ordered by the Physician to determine:
blood flow within blood vessels
“Endoscopy” is a generic term used to indicate:
Visual examination of a body cavity or hollow organ.
An “esophageal motility and reflux study” is ordered from which hospital dept
gastroenterology
A “gastroscopy” is a procedure used to:
visualize the interior of the stomach

neurodiagnostics
A procedure done to inspect the common bile duct, biliary tract, and pancreatic duct by inserting a catheter through an endoscope is called:
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
Which Diagnostic tests require a Consent Form:
- Special X-ray
- Endoscopy
- Ultrasound guided biopsy (+ surgical pathology req)
- CT guided biopsy (+ surgical pathology req)
- Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
- Pacemaker
- Cardioversion
- CABG
- Coronary Angioplasty
What is the proper sequencing when more than one test is ordered?
- X-rays of the lower spine and pelvis before a barium enema or UGI is done.
- Abdominal studies that use ultrasound or CT should be before studies that use barium.
- Liver and bone scans and Nuclear Medicine tests should come before barium studies.
