what is the use of pet scan specifically in cancer
to know the scope of cancer. they already established that there is cancer
determines the stage of cancer
biopsy
determines what cells are affected
PET scan
what stages of cancer are hard to detect
stage 1 and 2
simulate how to do the radiation therapy
CT simulation
1 session of radiation with low dose (radtera
protractionation
multiple session with high dose, giving time for cells to recover (radthera)
fractionation
what is a radiosensitizer
oxygen
water in lungs specifically the pleural cavity
pleural effusion
air sacs inflammation
pneumonia
lung inflammation
pneumonitis
produces bile
gall bladder
what can spread to the heart
tonsillitis
it is for immunity
appendix
most common infection
UTI
most common muscle tear
ACL or anterior cruciate ligament
receiver of radiation
image receptor
very sensitive to light. just a bit of exposure is enough to ruin it
film
to manipulate the flow of electricity so it won’t overload
transformer
this is where you put the name of your patienst
blocker
where the radiation comes from
source
source of radiation in ultasound
probes
purpose is to reduce friction of probe
transducer gel
this is where you view the images after processing
negatoscope
this is where you manipulate the technical factors and where you shoot x-rays
control console
device designed to control and minimize scatter radiation by limiting the x-ray field size to only the anatomy of interest
beam restrictor
