| RLQ | Right Lower Quadrant |
| RUQ | Right Upper Quadrant |
| U&L, U/L | upper and lower |
| CT | computed tomography |
| CXR | chest x-ray |
| MRI | magnetic resonance imaging |
| PET | positron emission tomography |
| US | ultrasonography, ultrasound |
| SPECT | single-photon emission computed tomography |
| adhesion | band of scar tissue binding anatomical surfaces that are normally separate from each other |
| inflammation | protective response of body tissues, infection, or allergy |
| sepsis | body's inflammatory response to infection, in which there is fever, elevated heart and respiratory rate, and low blood pressure |
| radiographic tecnique that uses narrow beam of x-rays, which rotates in a full arc around the pt to image the body in cross-sectional slices. A scanner and detector send the images to a computer, which consolidates all of the data it receives. | computed tomography scan |
| visual examination of the interior of organs and cavaties with a specialized lighted instrument called and endoscope | endoscopy |
| radiographic procedure that uses a fluorescent screen instead of a photographic plate to produce a visual image from x-rays that pass throught the pt. Offers cont imaging of the motion of internal structions | fluoroscopy |
| radiographic imaging technique that uses electromagnetic energy to produce multiplanar cross-sectional images of the body | magnetic resonance imaging |
| diagnostic technique that produces an image by recording the concentration of radiopharmaceutical. | nuclear scan |
| radiographic technique that combines computed tomography with the use of radiopharmaceuticals. | Positron emission tomography |
| production of captured shadow images on photographic film through the action of ionizing radiation passing through the body from an external source | radiography |
| drug that contains a radioactive substance that travels to an area or specific organ that will be scanned | radiopharmaceutical |
| a techinque for carefully studying an area, organ, or system of the body by recording and displaying an image of the area | scan |
| type of nuclear imaging study to scan organs after injection of a radioactive tracer. | Single photon emission computed tomography |
| radiographic techique that produces a film representing a detailed cross section of tissue structure at a predetermined depth | tomography |
| imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves that bounce off body tissues and are recorded to produce an image of an internal organ or tissue. | Ultrasound |
| connection between two vessels; surgical joining of two ducts, blood vessels, bowel segments to allow flow from one to the other | anastomosis |
| process of burning tissue by thermal heat, including steam, electricity or another agent, such as laser or dry ice | cauterize |

| poster/o | back (of body), behind, posterior |
| proxim/o | near, nearest |
| radi/o | radiation,xray; radius |
| spin/o | spine |
| thorac/o | chest |
| umbilic/o | umbilicus |
| ventr/o | bell, belly side |
