🗑
Pros of x-rays   High spatial resolution(.1mm), cheap, fast(real time)  
🗑
Cons of x-rays   ionizing radiation, 2D projection (shadow) imaging  
🗑
2D projection   3D projection to 2D image, ex is the fork in the patient or on it  
🗑
Tomosynthesis   Series of X-rays acquired over limited projection of angles, provides slices  
🗑
Pros of tomosynthesis   relatively fast, cheaper than CT, partial 3D info, high spatial resolution (.5mm)  
🗑
Cons of tomosynthesis   more ionizing radiation than x-ray, more expensive than x-ray, partial 3d info  
🗑
Computed Tomography (CT)   reconstruct tomographic(cross sectional) images by acquiring x-ray projections at multiple view angles  
🗑
Clinical applications of CT   looking at heart and arteries  
🗑
Pros of CT   Fast, 3D, high spatial resolution (5mm)  
🗑
Cons of CT   lots of ionizing radiation, only measures x-ray attenuation(density) ex)iodine and calcium may look same  
🗑
Nuclear Medicine/Positron emission tomography (PET)   radioactive tracers injected into body and travel to specific organs and emit radiation  
🗑
Type of radiation emitted in nuclear medicine imaging   gamma rays  
🗑
Nuclear medicine provides these images rather than anatomical ones   functional  
🗑
What Nuclear medicine/PET images are fused with this to provide functional and anatomical images   CT  
🗑
Clinical applications of Nuclear Medicine/ PET   Oncology, looking at heart (coronary artery)  
🗑
Pros of Nuclear Medicine/ PET   functional imaging, limitless applications  
🗑
Chest CT has 200 times the radiation of   A chest X-ray  
🗑
Radiation from 2 chest x-rays equal to   2 round-trip flights from NY to LA  
🗑

🗑
Ultrasound is produced by sending   high frequency signals  
🗑
Sound waves are not electromagnetic but   acoustic  
🗑
transducer   transmits and receives sound waves  
🗑
The longer it takes to hear an echo the   farther away the tissue is  
🗑
Clinical applications of ultrasound   scan abdomen, obstetrics, breast imaging, liver imaging, cardiovascular imaging  
🗑
How ultrasound makes a 3D image   moving transducer around  
🗑
Pros of Ultrasound   safe, 3D, inexpensive, realtime  
🗑
Cons of Ultrasound   limited spatial resolution, need acoustic window (can't see through bone or air)  
🗑
MRI   most recently developed, hydrogen protons are small magnets that cause the magnetic field to precess  
🗑
Presence of field effect on magnetization   in absence no net,in presence net  
🗑
