82
Q

Radiography

A

produce image of interior structures
• Inexpensive & **quick **
• Hollow structures appear black or **gray **
• Do not pass easily through dense structure (bone)
- At low dose, useful for soft tissue (breast)

  • Mammography (breast)
  • Bone densitometry (bone density)
83
Q

**Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) **

A

• High energy magnetic field
- Protons in body fluid align with field
• Color image on a video monitor
- 2D and 3D blueprint
• Relatively safe procedure
- Not used on patients containing metal **
• Used for differentiating normal** and abnormal tissues
- Tumors, brain abnormalities, blood flow

84

3-D structures

  • Visualize soft tissue in more detail than conventional radiography
  • Tissue intensities show varying degrees of gray
  • Whole-body CT scan
        - Lung & kidney cancers, coronary artery disease
85
Q

Ultrasound Scanning

A

**• High frequency sound waves **

 - Sonogram
 - Noninvasive, painless, no dyes 
 - Pregnancy (fetus)
86
Q

Radionuclide Scanning

A

Radioactive substance (radionuclide) given intravenously

Gamma rays detected by camera

Radionuclide image displays on video monitor

Color intensity represents uptake

Single-photo-emission computerized tomography (SPECT)

Specialized technique used for brain, heart, lungs, and liver

87
Q

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

A

• Positron (positively charged particles) emitting substance injected into the body
- Collision between positrons and negatively charged electron in body tissues

  • ** Gamma rays produced**
  • Computer constructed a PET scan image in color
  • **Used to study physiology of body structures (metabolism) **
88
