Elevatedcardiacapex * Bulgingofanteriorupperpartofheartborderonlateralview

Left ventricle enlargment

bulging of L lower cardiac border with depressed cardiac apex

An Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm that has a size of ______ requires referral to a vascular surgeon.

5.0 cm

Echocardiography Indications

Cardiac function *Systolic function: measure ejection fraction *Quantify stroke volume and cardiac output *Measure chamber volume and wall thickness *Diastolic function: measurement of left ventricular “relaxation” Congenital heart disease * Diagnosis and quantification of valvular disfunction * Cardiac masses * Pericardial effusion * Aortic dissection * Stress echocardiography: dx regional wall motion abnormalities induced by exercise

Cardiac Multidetector Computer Tomography (MDCT)

Image cardiac coronary arteries during diastolic resting

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMRI)

Quantify cardiac function * Congenital heart disease: complementary to echocardiograph * Cardiac anatomy * Myocardial viability * Aortic dissection * Cardiac masses * Pericardial disease

Abdominal aorta that is >3cm in diameter is considered abnormal

Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) utilizes “____________________” to evaluate for peripheral vascular disease.

Ratio of systolic blood pressure at the ankle to brachial pulse

All of the following symptoms are concerns for a Pulmonary Emboli, except this one answer.

Severe unilateral flank pain

Right Upper Quadrant ultrasound imaging is used to evaluate…

galbladder pathology

Computer Tomography is “gold standard” when evaluating for Placenta Previa.

FALSE -placenta previa is imaged with ultrasound... you would never do CT on a pregnant woman

Pulmonary Emboli CXR

*Positive imaging contains * Pleural effusion * Localized area of consolidation contacting the pleural surface * (Or) possible collapse contacting the pleural surface

Abdominal AXR

Suspected intestinal obstruction *Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract *Follow-up of urinary tract calculi *Foreign bodies due to penetrating injuries

Left Lower Quadrant Pain (LLQ)

DIVERTICULITIS

First trimester US

Confirm live pregnancy * Accurately assess dates * Management of complications (e.G. Management of ectopic pregnancy)

Nuchal thickness US is done at

11-14 weeks

Ultrasound Imaging of Uterine Fibroids will appear as

Masses of variable echogenicity in the smooth muscle of the uterus

Which of the following statements is true regarding Urological Imaging?

US and CT are the primary methods of imaging

+A DaT Scan is a…

SPECT Imaging to visualize dopamine transportto the striata for confirming thediagnosis of Parkinson's, Multiple System Atrophy, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy in patients with essential tremors.

symptoms of brain tumor may include all of the following except

paralysis of the bladder

which method of imaging combines anatomy and function to determine how the tumor is utilizing glucose

PET-CT scan

mailgnant

T/F mammogram is excellent for women under 35

FALSE

intraoccqular tumors can be seen with flash photography

especailly in kids

in imagining of intraoccqular tumors...

MRI, unless contraindicated is necessary to evaluate the extent of tumor involvement, sizing, and staging

T/F Benin breast lumps tend to be mobile, well defines, with smooth margins

TRUE

the FDA states that thermography

is not a replacement for screening mammography and continue to recommend getting a regular mammogram

Generalized symptoms of a brain tumor may include all of the following, except

Paralysis of the bladder Other CR: Sensory changes Myoclonic seizure Nausea or vomiting Personality or memory changes

Which method of imaging combines anatomy and function to determine how the tumor is utilizing glucose?

PET-CT scan

MRI T1 and T2

-T1 MRI Short TE(<45ms) Short TR(<2000ms) Identifies anatomy Fat is viewed as WHITE H2O is viewed as BLACK -T2 MRI Long TE(>45ms) Long TR(>2000ms) Identifies pathologies Fat is viewed as LIGHT GREY H2O is viewed as WHITE (In T2 with white water easier to visualize edema and swelling)
