Equipment and Technology
These ______ are a vital safety tool for medical staff, patients, and other professionals who may be exposed to scatter radiation during imaging procedures
Lead Aprons
Protects the brain
Skull
To use medical equipment (like an MRI or CT machine) to create images of the inside of the body for diagnosis or monitoring.
Scan
Energy that travels in waves or particles. In medicine, it’s used in treatments (like cancer therapy) and imaging (like X-rays), but must be carefully controlled.
Radiation
This is a medical imaging technique that uses a small dose of ionizing radiation to create images of the inside of the body, particularly bones and certain organs
Radiograph
Hard, rigid structure that forms the skeleton. They support the body, protect organs, and store minerals.
Bones
To introduce medicine or fluid into the body using a needle and syringe, often into a vein or muscle.
Inject
Materials or barriers used to block or reduce exposure to harmful radiation. Common in radiology rooms to protect patients and staff
Shielding
This machine creates images of the body's internal structures for diagnostic purposes, such as detecting broken bones or pneumonia
X-Ray machine
A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function. Examples include muscle _____, nerve ______, and connective _____.
Tissue
To move a patient, sample, or medical data from one place to another — for example, transferring a patient to another hospital or blood to a lab.
Transfer
Completely free of germs, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Sterile tools and environments are essential during surgeries and medical procedures.
Sterile
This is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs, tissues, and blood flow inside the body without the use of radiation.
Ultrasound
The place where two bones meet. _________ allow movement and flexibility, like bending your knees or rotating your shoulders.
Joints
To inspect a patient’s body or behavior closely to check for signs of illness or injury.
Examine
A set of rules and procedures designed to keep patients and staff safe. Includes hygiene practices, emergency steps, and equipment handling guidelines.
Safety Protocol
This is an advanced medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed, three-dimensional pictures of organs, bones, and soft tissues inside the body.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Soft tissue that contracts to produce movement in the body. _________ help us walk, lift, and even breathe.
Muscles
To identify a disease or condition by examining symptoms, test results, and medical history.
Diagnoses
Gear worn by healthcare workers to prevent infection or injury — includes gloves, masks, gowns, and face shields.
