Endoscopy
|
|
|
Radiographic procedure that uses a fluorescent screen to produce a visual image from xrays that pass through the patient, resulting in continuous imaging of the motion of internal structures and immediate serial images
|
Fluoroscopy
|
|
|
Radiographic technique that uses electromagnetic energy to produce multiplanar cross-sectional images of the body
|
Magnetic resonance imaging
|
|
|
It produces an image of an organ or area by recording the concentration of a radiopharmaceutical introduced into the body
|
Nuclear scan

Scan
|
|
|
Radiographic technique that produces a film representing a detailed cross-section, or slice of an area, tissue, or organ at a predetermined depth
|
Tomography
|
|
|
Radiographic tech. that uses a narrow beak of xrays that rotates in a full arc around the patient to acquire multiple views of the body that a computer interprets to produce cross-sectional images of that body part
|
Computed tomography
|
|
|
Radiographic tech. Combining computed tomography with radiopharmaceuticals that produces a cross-sectional (transverse) image of the disbursement of radioactivity (through emission of positrons) in a section of the body to reveal the areas where the radiopharmaceutical is being metabolized and where there is a deficiency in metabolism
|
