Tytron C-3000 Flashcards
What is a tytron?
Paraspinal thermal imaging system
The tytron is primarily used for?
Pattern analysis
Tytron can be used for?
Break Analysis
What are some advantages of using a tytron?
Highly reproducible
Charts progress well
Benefits those looking at pattern
Well researched
What are the disadvantages of a tytron?
Not portable
Less effective for break analysis
Cost
What component of the VSC is the tytron?
Neuropathology
Histopathology
What component of the PART system is the tytron?
T: Tissue and Tone Changes
When running a scan, patient placement is identical to that of running a?
Cervical Glide with Nervoscope
When running a scan, scanner barrels never touch the skin, only the/
Rollers
When running a scan, you must maintain proper?
Disc Plane line pitch
When running a scan, it commences at S2 and terminates at the?
Base of Occiput
When running a scan, it should be smooth and continuous speed at?
1 sec/segment
Every scan that is run is accompanied by a ?
Mastoid fossa reading (C2 major reading)
A mastoid fossa reading provides more specific information about the?
Upper cervical complex (occiput, C1,C2)
When doing a fossa reading, commence by pressing the?
“F” key
With a fossa reading, the R barrel goes into?
R fossa
With a fossa reading, the R barrel also goes into?
L fossa
With a fossa reading what is clinically significant?
0.5 or greater
With a mastoid fossa reading the barrel does not touch the?
Fossa
A system of analysis that takes into consideration that thermal shifts on the surface of the skin occur as a part of normal physiology is called?
Pattern Analysis
If the overall presentation of dynamic adaptability is not present, it can be correlated with?
Autonomic Dysfunction
Compromised Ability to Adapt
The gold standard to establish a pattern is to take 3 thermal readings over a 25 hour period with the scans spaced every
12 hours
When thermal readings are done every 12 hours it allows the doctor the opportunity to see how the body?
Can/Can’t Adapt over time
Once a pattern has been established for a patient each subsequent scan on each visit is compared to that pattern to determine if an?
Adjustment is appropriate
If you deviate to much from every 12 hour scans, you will not allow?
Body to change overtime
The pattern can change if there are?
Trauma
Illness
Medication Changes
Pattern analysis scans can be run full spine, especially if you are using it as a?
Re-evaluation/Progress tool
Traditionally, upper cervical practitioners will utilize only?
Cervical Scans
There are 3 general scan types for the doctor to consider?
Pattern
Adaptive
Stress
What are common causes of stress scans?
Emotional Stress
Physical Stress/Pain
Drugs
Caffeine
