Radiology Class Flashcards
Tumours can compress the optic chiasm (loss of vision)
Normally, we use contrast in the brain (T/F)
FALSE: it stays the same after contrast
Only pituitary glands and vessels enhance
Wernicke is related to… speech
Broca is related to … speech
- understanding
- motor (knowing how to speak). If there is a problem here: AFASIA
They are connected, if there is a problem in the connection, no habrá congruencia entre lo que dice y lo que entiende.
Representación esquemática HOMUNCULO MOTOR
A lesion in this area might cause, problems in the contralateral… (hand/leg)
HAND (more lateral)
Broca and Wernicke areas are only located in the… hemisphere
DOMINANT
With MRI we can do functional imaging and identify the different areas of the brain (T/F)
True: to identify primary motor areas of the hand for example, if we have a tumour we do not see it.
We need the patient to cooperate, to see which area of the brain controls the movement (either speaking for Broca, or moving something for motor cortex).
What can we see in this image?
A fetal MRI for CNS evaluation
What is the arrow pointing at?
Cerebellar tonsils
