Quiz 2 - AP 2
Cardiovascular Interventional Radiography - Lecture 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
A Radiographic examination of vascular structures within the body | Angiography |
Characteristics of Angiography include: 1. 2. 3. | 1. Invasive Procedure 2. Labor intensive exam 3. Greater cost traditional radiologic exams |
What was the year that the first radiograph was done that demonstrated blood vessels? | 1896 |
What was used as contrast material when radiograph of blood vessels was first introduced | A thick emulsion of chalk |
Up until 1950's what was the approach called that injected contrast through a needle directly into the blood vessel or through a catheter that was passed into the body surgically exposing the blood vessel? | The Direct Approach |
In 1952, what approach was developed by Seldinger, a swedish Radiologist, whose technique allowed for indirect insertion of the catheter? | The Seldinger approach |
What did the Seldinger approach eliminate? | Surgical risk |
Early angiograms consisted of ______ images | single |
Device that allowed for many images to be taken to demonstrate the flow of contrast through the vessels? | Serial filming devices |
Examples of Serial Filming devices: 1. 2. 3. 4. | 1. Rapid film changers 2. Cine film devices 3. Cassette changers 4. Digital serial filming |
Development of Power or Mechanical injections allowed for? | More rapid and precise control of contrast material rates and volumes |
What type of injection involves placing catheter tip into orifice of specific artery? | Section injection (less dilution, limits superimposition) |
Types of procedures that determine the condition of the vascular system? | Diagnostic procedures |
An invasive procedure, which is a non-surgical method to correct a condition that has been previously diagnosed - can be vascular or non-vascular? | Interventional procedures |
System that allows visualization of the vascular structures - Records of flowing contrast medium in a series of images vs single film | Rapid film changer system |
The most significant imaging component which establishes the exposure rate or speed | Program Selector |
What are the 3 Programming phases on the Program Selector: | Fastest, slower, slowest |
What does the Fastest Programming phase in the program selector demonstrate? | Demonstrates contrast filled arteries |
What does the Slower Programming phase, in the program selector, demonstrate? | Demonstrates contrast filled veins |
What does the Slowest Programming phase in the program selector demonstrate? | Used to demonstrate delayed filling of tumors |
A mechanical device used to inject contrast into the circulatory system? | Automatic Injector |
Name of the Regulator that allows injection to be accelerated over a specific period of time - reduces catheter whip, termed linear rise | Accelerator regulator |
What sets the maximum pressures to be generated during the injection? | Pressure limiting device |
The delivery flow rate is also the? | Injector flow rate |
Guidewires harder to advance in the cardiovascular procedures? | Straight guidewires vs. curved |
Two methods used to introduce a catheter into the body | 1. Direct Stick 2. Seldinger |
Needle is placed in what Artery for the procedure (Angioplasty) | Femoral Artery |
What position is the patient placed for Angiography? | Supine on the table |
What technique is used to insert the catheter for and Angiography procedure? | Seldinger |
Patient may be required to rest in the supine position for how long observe for bleeding and hematoma? | up to 12 hours |
After an Angiography procedure, how long until the patient may resume normal activity? | After 24 hours |
The Circulatory system is composed of what two systems? | Lymphatic and Cardiovascular |
The Lymphatic system includes: | Lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes |
The Cardiovascular system includes: | Heart and vessels |
Pulmonary means? | Lungs |
Systemic means? | Body |
Cardio means? | Heart |
Vascular means? | Vessels |
The Lymphatic System is composed of an elaborate arrangement of ______ ______ | closed vessels |
The Lymphatic system serves as a what? | A drainage system for tissue fluids and wastes |
Functions of the Lymph System include: 1 2 3 4 | 1. removes impurities from the blood 2. produces anti-bodies 3. return collected fluid to the vascular system |
What is lymph? | A clear watery substance |
Cardiovascular System Functions: 1 2 3 | 1. Transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones and chemicals for necessary body activity 2. Remove waste products through kidneys and lungs 3. Maintains body temperature, water and electrolyte balance |
The vascular system is broken down into what two systems? | Pulmonary and Systemic |
Pertaining to the circulation of blood within the heart and Lungs? | Pulmonary system |
Pertaining to circulation within the blood vessels? | Systemic system |
