Medical Imaging Vocabulary

RADIOLOGY

• ^{X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of bones, teeth, and internal organs. They are widely used for diagnosis of fractures, infections, and other conditions.}

• ^{Physician who applies any form of radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.}

• Skilled person who is  qualified by education to provide patient services using imaging modalities; as directed by a physician.

• ^{Medical specialty in which x-rays, radium, and radioactive substances are applied in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.} 

RADIOLOGIST

• Physician who applies any form of radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

• Skilled person who is  qualified by education to provide patient services using imaging modalities

• Their versatility makes them essential for early detection and treatment.

• They provide a comprehensive picture of the anatomy.

Basic principles of X-Ray Imaging

(a)  

Choose one feature of CT Scans.

• Uses X-rays to create detailed images of internal organs, bones, and tissues in cross-sections.

• Quick, Painless, Versatile Diagnostics

• Advanced Imaging with Magnetic Fields

Choose the Definition of MRI -Scans

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• Brain Imaging

• Musculoskeletal Imaging

Select two functions of ULTRASOUND

• Ultrasound is essential for monitoring fetal development, detecting birth defects, and assessing the overall health of the baby.

• provide valuable information about the heart's structure, function, and blood flow, helping diagnose heart diseases.

• used in various fields, including dentistry, oncology, and cardiology. Their versatility makes them essential for early detection and treatment

• Ultrasound is used to visualize internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys, and gallbladder, helping detect abnormalities.

What is ultrasonography?

• is a device that generates high-energy beams of electrons or X-rays for treating cancer and other purposes.

• is a painless, non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create pictures of the inside of the body.

• is a non-invasive brain imaging technique that measures brain activity by tracking changes in blood flo

Choose the definition of Linear Accelerator

• is a device that generates high-energy beams of electrons or X-rays for treating cancer and other purposes.

• •fMRI can help identify which parts of the brain are responsible for specific functions. 

• •The beams are then delivered to a patient's tumor 

  •

choose the best definition for SPET-SCAN

• is a non-invasive brain imaging technique that measures brain activity by tracking changes in blood flow

• is a device that generates high-energy beams of electrons or X-rays for treating cancer and other purposes.

• is a nuclear imaging test that shows how blood flows to organs and tissues.
