Definition 1 of 95
IV drug used to detect cancerous tumors. It is combined with a hormone that is attracted to
cancerous cells of the endocrine system, or it is combined with a monoclonal anitbody that is
attracted to cancerous cells of the ovary or colon. It is a soft, silvery metal
Iodine 123 and Iodine 131

Cholescinigraphy (HIDA scan)
Iodinated contrast dye is injected intravenously. The dye travels through the blood to the
liver and is then excreted with bile into the gallbladder. It outlines the gallbladder and bile
ducts and shows thickening of the gallbladder wall and gallstones.
detect areas of decreased uptake in the gallbladder that are related to cystic duct
obstruction and acute cholecytitis
HIA stands for hydroxyminodiacetic acid, a molecule that carries that radiopharmaceutical
drug to the liver
Uses a beam of electrons and a computer to create an image. EBT is known as a full body
scan, although only the area from shoulders to the upper legs is actually scanned. They are
considered screening tests, not diagnotics
is a two part test that uses two radioactie substances, one that is inhaled and one that is
given by iv. it is used to detect areas of decreased uptake that indicate poor air flow,
pneumonia, or pleural effusion.
,Definition 3 of 95
Are a form of invisible radiation. Produced when a positively charged metal plate inside a vacuum
is bombarded with a stream of electrons.
They have short wavelengths and contain so much energy that they are able to pass through the
body
X-rays
AP chest x-ray

Electron beam tomography
Definition 4 of 95
Single photon emission computed tomography
Uses a muga scan of the heart in which the gamma camera moves in a circle around the patients
to create indiv images as slices of the heart

Iodinated contrast dye gets injected into the blood vessels.
what you measure radiation exposure in
the film image of an x-ray
,Definition 6 of 95
uses x-rays to create an image of the breast. They are compressed to lessen the thickness and
improve the quality of the image. They are used to detect areas of microcalcifications, infection,
cysts, and tumors that cannot be felt during breast examination

Krypton 81
Inhaled gas used to image the lung, it is also used in krypton lasers in surgery. It is a
colorless, odorless gas that is present in trace amounts in the atmosphere
in intavenous pyelography, iodinated contrast dye is injected into the vein, circulates
through the blood, and is excreted in the urine. It outlines the urinary tract and shows
narowing, blockage and stones. (excretory urography)
Inhaled gas used to image the lungs. It is a colorless, odorless gas

cancerous cells of the endocrine system, or it is combined with a monoclonal anitbody that
is attracted to cancerous cells of the ovary or colon. It is a soft, silvery metal
Definition 8 of 95

Venography
Modified MRI

Gallium-67
, Definition 9 of 95
an endoscope is passed through the mouth and down into the duodenum. A catheter is passed
through the endoscope and contrast dye is injected to visualize the pancreatic duct and the
common bile duct

Charged particle that has the same effect as an electron, just opposite charge
Used it PET scans
IV drug used to image many different areas of the body. It is the most common drug used
in nuclear imaging. It is a silvery gray metal
barium contrast medium is inserted into the rectum. The barium outlines the colon and
rectum and shows tumors, polyps, or diverticula in the bowel wall.
preliminary x-ray that is taken to provide an initial view of an area before a radiopaque
contrast dye is administered
Definition 11 of 95
Lead doesn't let x-rays pass through because it's so dense. Therefore, lead aprons are used to
shield parts of the patients body that are not being x-rayed; they are also worn by the radiology
department if they are in the room.
