New cards

computed tomography

imaging modality that combines x-rays with computer technology to product detailed, cross sectional images of the body, called “slices.” oral or intravenous contrast agent may be given to highlight specific regions in the body, resulting in clearer images

12
New cards

fluroscopy

imaging of moving body structures, like an x-ray movie. an x-ray bean is passed through the body part being studied, and then the image is transmitted to a monitor in real time so that movement can be seen in detail. contrast agent is often used to help identify and assess the function of different sources

13
New cards

nuclear medicine

imaging o internal structure by using a Gamma camera to detect radiation from different parts of the body after a radioactive material (radioisotope) has been given to the patient. computer software assembles data into images called scans

14
New cards

magnetic resonance imaging

high strength, computer-controlled magnetic fields producing a series of sectional images (slices) that visualize abnormalities such as swelling, infections, tumors, and herniated disks

15
New cards

scan

image obtained from diagnostic imaging procedures using sensing devices and (most often) radioisotopes

20
New cards

axial

horizontal plane dividing the body into superior and inferior portions (transverse plane & horizontal plane)

21
New cards

coronal

vertical plane passing through the body from side to side, dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions

22
New cards

midsaggital

vertical plane passing through the body from front to back at the midline, dividing the body equally into right and left halves

23
New cards

parasaggital

vertical plane passing through the body from front or back. dividing the body into unequal left and right sides

24
New cards

sagittal

vertical plane passing through the body from front to back, dividing the body into right and left sides (any plane parallel to the midsagittal plane)
