IMPORTANT RADIOLOGY NUCLEAR MEDICINE TERMS-4-LESSON 149

1. Radiopharmaceutical- A radioactive medicine, which consists of a radionuclide and a chemical substance in combination, which is administered in one piece for diagnostic and curative rationales.

2. Roentgenology- Study of x-rays i.e. radiology.

3. Scan- An all purpose word for pictures of organs, fractions, or oblique or crossway sections of the body part created in a mixture of tactics. A good number are often used to portray pictures taken from ultrascan, CT scan, and other tracer methods.

4. Scintillation scanner- Scintill/o-means glow or glint. An equipment used to become aware of radioactive drug substances stayed inside the body. This method is used to take investigative pictures.

5. SPECT or single-photon emission computed tomography- A radioactive outliner material is brought inside the body using an injection via intravenous route. The pictures are then taken and seen in a computer monitor and three-dimensional views are taken.

6. Tagging- The course of action is the body is followed after putting together a radioactive substance inside the body.

7. Tomography- Investigative radiographic method by which a sequential order of images are taken in different profundities of an organ of the body.

8. Tracer studies- Radioactive materials are used as tagging materials to put together chemical substances and went after at the same time as they travel through the body organs.

9. Ultrasound- A investigative method that endeavors and gets back high-frequency sound waves, at the same time as they rebound off from parts of the body they travel.

10. Uptake- The speed or velocity of assimilation of a radioactive material into and tissue or an organ of the body.

11. VP scan or ventilation/perfusion scan- First a radioactive drug is drawn inside and brought in through an injection. The travel of the radionuclide through the respiratory tract is followed and pictures taken.

This post concludes radiotherapy important medical terms. In the next lesson we will learn about important combining forms of radiology. Okay.

IMPORTANT RADIOLOGY NUCLEAR MEDICINE TERMS-3-LESSON 148

1. Magnetic resonance imaging- A magnetic ground radio signals are used to outline sagittal, coronal, and axial pictures of the body.

2. Megavoltage- High-energy radiation engendered by means of an equipment and employed in restorative x-ray analysis intended for cancer.

3. Nuclear medicine- This is a medical speciality, which examines and employs of radioactive materials called radionuclides within identification and treatment of ailment.

4. Orthovoltage- Emission of low-energy radioactive waves that are employed in pain-killing radiation therapy and exterior skin cancer diseases.

5. Palliative- Means just soothing or painkilling, not curing completely that is not possible.

6. PET scan or positron emission tomography- Radioactive materials are administered using intravenous route and these substances give out positrons. They generate a cross-sectional picture of the metabolism of the body. These images symbolize local concentration of the radioactive material administered.

7. Radiation Oncology- This is a speciality of medicine that studies and provides treatment of tumors utilizing radiation of high-energy (radiotherapy).

8. Rad- Radiation absorbed dose, a measurement of radiation dose administered.

9. Radioimmunoassay- This is an examination that blends the utilization of antibodies, as well as radioactive substances to become aware of microscopic amount of materials in the blood.

10. Radioisotope- A radioactive mode of a material called radionuclide.

IMPORTANT RADIOLOGY NUCLEAR MEDICINE TERMS-2-LESSON 147

This lesson is the continuation of the lesson 146.

1. In vitro- A method of test or a technique in which something is appraised or monitored from the outer surface of living organism.

2. In vivo- A method of test or a technique in which something is appraised or monitored from within the living organism.

3. Irradiation- Dispensing radiation management of treatment to a patient.

4. MRI or magnetic resonance imaging- A magnetic ground with radio signals are used to outline sagittal, axial, and coronal pictures of the body.

5. Lethal- This is concerning to that which is poisonous, noxious, or fatal.

6. Interstitial Therapy- Radioisotopes are put in using a surgery into a tumor.

7. Interventional Radiology- Healing methods that are carried out by a radiologist.

8. Half-life- Time necessary for a radioactive material to be unable to find half of its radioactivity by breakdown.

9. Ionization- The partition of durable materials into electric or excited elements. These elements are called ions. This process is called ionization.

10. Linear accelerator- This is an equipment used to distribute radiation rehabilitation method.
