Planes of the body: Cuts the body into inferior and superior halves

Planes of the body: Cuts the body into anterior and posterior halves

Planes of the body: cuts the body into left and right halves

What plane is image 3?

What plane is image 1

What plane is image 2?

Is a moveable frame thatcontains the x-ray tube, including:collimators and filters, detectors,data acquisition system, rotationalcomponents including slip ringsystems,electronicsand all associatedsuch as CT scannergantry angulation motors &positioning laser lights.

This controls such variables such as the thickness of the image tissue slice, mechanical movement of the patient couch, and other radiographic image factors

Process of capturing radiographic data from aconventional X-ray machine and processingthe data digitally to produce crisp and highquality radiographic images

This material is placed in cassetes instead of a film.

The ______reads the identification data, handles theplates, reads the image and sends out a raw dataset in DICOM-format.

The " "has the special property of storing the X-rayenergy in a latent form and releasing the same when stimulated by a laserenergy in the CR Reader / Digitize

The digitized image data is processed on a processing server and is displayed on its monitor

This technique isperformed bydigital X-raymachines with flatpanel detectors

This type of digital radiography where the machine absorbs x-rays and converts them to light. Images are viewed in computer monitor.

This type of digital radiography where photoconductor absorbers x-ray and image is viewed on computer screen.

The device that intercepts the x-raybeam after it has passed throughthe patients body and produces an image in digital form, that is, amatrix of pixels, each with a numerical value.

A function performed by thecomputer system associated with thedigital radiography process. These functions consist of controlling the movement of the images amongassociating other datathe other components andandinformation with the images.

It is an adjunct to essential radiography. Through the System adjunct digital system. interface, information such as patient ID, scheduling,procedures actual performed, etc is transferred.

It also possible to use digital processing to enhance visibility of detail in some radiographs.

Digital radiographs, and other digital medical images, are stored as digital data. Advantages (compared toimages recorded on film)include

Digital radiography system: Another advantage of digital images is the ability to transfer them from one location toanother very rapidly

Digital radiography system: One major advantage is the and optimize ability of the viewer to adjustimagecharacteristics such as contrast.

A medical specialty involving the application of radioactivesubstances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Today, nuclear medicine is more concernedwith how disease acts, not just how it looks. Also known as

Are medicinal formulations containing radio isotopes which are safe for administration in humans for diagnosis or for therapy.

Radiopharmaceuticals consist of: 1. Amolecule which determines thebehavior of the radiopharmaceutical in the body.

The radiation emitted by the radionuclide maybe detected from outside the body by a radionuclide imaging device

Imaging Procedures: This are real time images (static or dynamic) obtained as if the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical within the patient’s body were from a single “plane.

Imaging procedures: " " are those that have been computer reconstructed from linear projection data through anobject.

This type of tomographic modality where the camera rotates and acquires data 360 degrees around the patient

This type of tomographic modality where the radiation detectors are located in a ring around thepatient, and utilize coincidence detection to detect the511 KeV annihilation photons.

Clinical applications:

It is a study of the skeletal system that uses a for technetium-99m (99m Tc) injected intravenously absorbed by the bone

Clinical applications

It provides both an anatomic and functional evaluation of the kidneys especially after transplantation.

Clinical applications

Evaluate various neurologic conditions as Alzheimer and Parkinson disease

Clinical Applications

To evaluate functions of the thyroid gland using sodium iodide

Is a condition characterized bya decrease in the density of bone, decreasing itsstrength and resulting in fragile bones

Ways to measure bmd:

This is the most accurate and standardized way to measure BMD and it uses two different X-ray beams to estimate bone density inthe spine and hip

WAYS TO MEASURE BMD:

It is a type of DEXA test. It measures the density of bones in the arms or legs, such as the wrist. The results are thicker than standard DEXA measurements.

FOUR INFORMATIVE SKELETAL SITES:

The distal one-third of the radius (wrist) is efficacious inpredicting fracture risk

FOUR INFORMATIVE SKELETAL SITES:

Measurement at this site isparticularly important because weight-bearing bone may lose strengthat a different rate than non-weight bearing bone

FOUR INFORMATIVE SKELETAL SYSTEM:

It is useful in the monitoring of treatment for osteoporosis

BMD IS DONE IN All women aged 55 or older and men over 60 years of age regardless of risk factors.

BMD IS DONE IN Postmenopausal women under age 65 and men in the age group of 50-70 years who have one or more risk factors

Produces very clear, detailed pictures of the organs and structures in the body and it is a form of medical imaging that uses no ionizing radiation

TYPES OF MAGNETS:

It has many coils of wire that wrap around the bore, through which electrical currents are passed, creating a magnetic field

TYPE OF MAGNETS:

One that delivers a magnetic field, which is always on at full strength andtherefore, does not require electricity.

TYPES OF MAGNETS:

These are very similar to the design of the resistive magnets, in that they have too have coils through which electricity is passed creating a magneticfield.

It works by damaging the DNA within cancer cells and destroying theirability to reproduce.

RADIATION ONCOLOGY TEAM:

The doctor who oversees the radiation therapy treatments

THE RADIATION ONCOLGY TEAM:

Works with the radiation oncologist and medical physicist to calculate the proper dose of radiation given to the tumo
