ultrasound
Give this one a try later!
-very high frequency sound directed in to the body from a transducer
placed in contact with the skin. forms a grey scale image
-the test itself is painless
-usually fairly inexpensive comparatively
-doesn't use radiation
-pretty safe
-there is question whether over time it may cause problems to fetal hearing.
**safe in pregnancy is the right test answer
-operator dependent
-it cannot penetrate air or bone
-cant ultrasound the brain bc it wont go thru bone. wont go thru air very
well either
-fluid is a good to ultrasound
,MRI does better than CT at

showing inflammation in the bone
CT angiography fix
Give this one a try later!
-rapid intravenous injection of contrast media result in significant
opacification of blood vessels, which with multiplanner or 3D
reconstruction, can be exploited to produce and angiogram.
spect

ct and nuclear study together
fluoroscopy
