Week 6

Question 1

chiropractor

Answer 1

a doctor who believes all body functions are connected

Question 2

osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT)

Answer 2

manually guided therapy that is performed to improve physiological function

Question 3

other procedures

Answer 3

a methodology that attempts to remediate or cure a disorder or disease

Question 4

treatment

Answer 4

manual treatment to eliminate or alleviate somatic dysfunction and related disorders

Question 5

computed tomography (CT scan)

Answer 5

multiplanar images that have been computer reformatted

Question 6

contrast material

Answer 6

material injected into the patient to allow for quicker identification of abnormalities in the body due to image density

Question 7

fluoroscopy

Answer 7

external ionizing radiation on a fluorescent screen captures a single-plane or biplane real-time image, which can also be stored by digital or analog means

Question 8

high osmolar contrast material (HOCM)

Answer 8

material that has a higher level of particle concentration than normal body fluids

Question 9

isotope

Answer 9

one of two or more atoms that contain the same atomic number but have different mass numbers in the nucleus

Question 10

low osmolar contrast material (LOCM)

Answer 10

material with a lower level of particle concentration than normal body fluids

Question 11

magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Answer 11

multiplanar images developed from the capture of radio frequency signals emitted by nuclei in a particular body site excited within a magnetic field that can produce a computer-formatted digital display of the images

Question 12

modality

Answer 12

in medicine, a certain protocol, therapeutic method, or agent

Question 13

non imaging nuclear medicine assay

Answer 13

after the introduction of radioactive materials, radioactive emissions are detected, identified, and measured in the body fluids and blood elements

Question 14

non imaging nuclear medicine probe

Answer 14

after the introduction of radioactive materials into the body, there is a study of the distribution and fate of certain substances by the detection of the radioactive emissions

Question 15

non imaging nuclear medicine uptake

Answer 15

after the introduction of radioactive materials into the body, organ function can be determined from the detection of radioactive emissions

Question 16

nuclear medicine

Answer 16

treats and diagnoses diseases using small amounts of radioactive material to create an image

Question 17

plain radiography

Answer 17

standard x-ray, with planar display of an image

Question 18

planar nuclear medicine imaging

Answer 18

single-plane display of images after the introduction of radioactive materials

Question 19

positron emission tomographic imaging (PET)

Answer 19

a three-dimensional image is produced after the introduction of radioactive materials but the images are simultaneously captured 180 degrees apart

Question 20

radiation oncology (rad onc)

Answer 20

a form of radiology that is therapeutic as opposed to diagnostic

Question 21

radiographic isotopes

Answer 21

radioactive material used to create an image

Question 22

radiologic technician

Answer 22

a person specially trained to use the equipment unique to the radiology department

Question 23

radiologist

Answer 23

a doctor whose specialty is radiology

Question 24

radiology

Answer 24

the study of x-rays, high-frequency sound waves, and high-strength magnetic fields, which sometimes includes the use of radioactive compounds to diagnose and/or treat disease or injuries

Question 25

radionuclide

Answer 25

a radioactive substance that can be found in nature, that can be human-made, and that is the source of the radiation causing the emissions for the image to be produced; also called a radioactive isotope or radiopharmaceutical

Question 26

radiopharmaceutical

Answer 26

a radioactive substance that can be found in nature, that can be human-made, and that is the source of the radiation causing the emissions for the image to be produced; also called a radioactive isotope or radionuclide

Question 27

system nuclear medicine therapy

Answer 27

the introduction of unsealed radioactive material into the body for treatment; does not include the encapsulated radioactive material used in cancer treatment

Question 28

tomographic nuclear medicine imaging (tomo)

Answer 28

a three-dimensional display of images, developed from the capture of radioactive emissions

Question 29

ultrasonography

Answer 29

the real-time display of images of anatomy, developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high-frequency sound waves
