What is an example of a substance having a known or determined range of values in order to ensure reliable results?
What is quality control?
This imaging modality uses sound waves, not radiation.
What is an ultrasound?
This artifact occurs when sound reflects multiple times, producing a false image.
What is a reverberation artifact?
This anticoagulant is monitored with an INR.
What is warfarin?
These cells in the pancreas produce insulin.
What are beta cells of the islets of Langerhans?
This lab test measures long-term glucose control over 2-3 months.
What is HbA1c?
This vessel carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the pulmonary veins?
The normal adult lover echotexture is usually describes as this.
What is homogeneous?
What are beta-lactams?
This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
This selective media differentiates gram-negative organisms based off of their lactose fermentation.
What is MacConkey agar?
This nuclear medicine scan evaluates bone metabolism and detects metastases.
What is a bone scan?
This fluid collection surrounds the fetus and cushions it.
What is amniotic fluid?
This condition occurs when bone density decreases, increasing fracture risk.
what is osteoporosis?
This structure in the nephron is responsible for filtration of blood plasma.
What is the glomerulus?
This hematologic neoplasm has greater than or equal to 20% blast count and primarily affects the common myeloid progenitor.
What is acute myeloid leukemia?
This bone is commonly fractured in a FOOSH injury.
What is a radius?
This mode shows blood flow in color over the grayscale image.
What is color Doppler?
This condition is a collapsed lung caused by air entering the space between the lung and chest wall, creating pressure that prevents full expansion. It causes sudden chest pain and shortness of breath.
What is a pneumothorax?
This property of light determines whether it bends toward or away from the normal when entering a new medium.
What is refractive index?
Patient results: fasting glucose of 250 mg/dL, HbA1c is 10%, and serum C-peptide is zero. Which type of diabetes is most likely?
What is Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?
This MRI sequence type suppresses fat signal, is commonly used to detect edema or inflammation, and is highly sensitive for musculoskeletal pathology.
What is STIR (Short Tau Inversion Recovery)?
This artifact occurs when sound waves pass through a fluid-filled structure and make structures deep to it appear falsely enhanced, a critical concept when evaluating cystic versus solid lesions.
What is posterior acoustic enhancement (through-transmission)?
A patient with chronic kidney disease presents with hyperkalemia. Which medication class should be used cautiously or avoided because it can worsen potassium retention?
What are ACE inhibitors?
A car rounds a curve at constant speed. Although its speed is constant, its velocity changes because it has this type of acceleration.
What is centripetal acceleration?
