Nuclear Medicine
Most vascular findings in this modality would be incidental
What is X-RAY
A soft, gel-like padding between bones that protects joints and facilitates movement
What is Cartilage
A scan that moves the table and stops at every slice
What is an Axial/Conventional scan
This scan is almost always done before an OBS MRI
What is Ultrasound
This happens when a positron meets an electron
What is Annihilation
This would be the reason vascular pathologies are seen in X-RAY
What is Calcification
Used to see live joint pathology
What is Fluoroscopy
A bright, attenuating structure found in the GB would likely represent this pathology
What is a Gallstone
A white matter injury often seen in premature babies
What is PVL (Periventricular Leukomalacia)
The body treats radiopharmaceuticals like F-18 as this simple sugar
What is Glucose
This vascular structure would almost always been seen as calcified in geriatric patients on a CXR
What is the Aorta
What is X-RAY
A houndsfield unit of -1000 would represent this
What is Air
A pathology which describes a missing link between the right left cerebral hemispheres
What is Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum
This cranial organ needs a lot of glucose to function
What is the Brain
The only modality that can measure the velocity of vascular flow
What is Ultrasound
This type of arthritis comes from over use and aging
What is Osteoarthritis
This phase of injection would be used to rule out a Pulmonary Embolism
What is arterial phase
A pathology seen in utero which would indicate a perforation of the bowel
What is Meconium Peritonitis
The amount of time that is typically recommended for patients to stay 3 feet away from other people after a scan
What is 8 hours
This method of vascular scanning in MRI is made to provide contrast within vessels without giving actual contrast to the patient
What is TOF, Time of Flight
3D reconstructions of bone can be done in this modality
What is CT
This is what happens what an injection leaks out of the intended vessel
What is Extravasation
This type of disorder is better seen in OBS MRI when a certain organ is too posterior to see in Ultrasound
What are Placental Disorders
