ct, ultra, mri

• An axial tomographic technique, produces source images that are perpendicular to the long axis of the body

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

• Non-invasive imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves greater than 20 kilohertz (kHz)

• A device known as a transducer is used to emit and to receive sound waves from various tissues in the body.

• The transducer is placed against the patient’s skin with a thin layer of coupling gel

ULTRASONOGRAPHY

• Non-invasive imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves greater than 20 kilohertz (kHz)

ULTRASONOGRAPHY

• A device known as a transducer is used to emit and to receive sound waves from various tissues in the body.

ULTRASONOGRAPHY

• The transducer is placed against the patient’s skin with a thin layer of coupling gel

ULTRASONOGRAPHY

In Ultrasonography, there is a device that is used to emit and to receive sound waves from various tissues in the body. This is placed against the patient’s skin with a thin layer of coupling gel

Transducer

A cross-sectional imaging technology that uses a magnetic field and radiofrequency signals to cause hydrogen nuclei to emit their own signals, which then are converted to images by a computer

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING •

When assessing an xray, always check the following:

• airway

• trachea

• bony prominences

• Costodiaphragmatic Recess

• Pleural Effusion Tension

• Pneumothorax

• Tracheal deviation

• More radiolucent on the left lung

• Too much air in the right lung that’s why it's deviated on the left
