The Pathology Problem
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ________ is the medical science that is concerned with all aspects of disease. | Pathology |
| A patient with pneumonia (air-filled lungs filled with fluid) - will cause an ______ in attenuation of radiation. | increase (the fluid will absorb more radiation than air) |
| A patient with emphysema (normal lung tissue is destroyed and the air sacs become enlarged) - will cause an _______ in attenuation of radiation. | decrease (increased amount of air in the lungs) |
| If a disease causes the affected body tissue to ______ in thickness, effective atomic number or density, there will be a greater attenuation of the x-ray beam. | increase |
| Diseases that are harder to penetrate are called ______ conditions. | additive |
| There is an ______ relationship between additive conditions and IR exposure (when additive conditions are present, IR exposure will decrease as the extent of the disease increases. | inverse |
| If a disease causes the affected body tissue to ______ in thickness, effective atomic number or density, there will be less attenuation of radiation. | decrease |
| Diseases that are easier to penetrate are called ________ conditions. | destructive |
| There is a ______ relationship between destructive conditions and IR exposure - when destructive conditions are present, the IR exposure will increase and the extent of the disease increases. | direct |
| To produce a visible difference requires a minimal change of ___ - ____ percent in the overall exposure of the IR for film/screen radiography. | 25 - 50 |
| Name diseases that may be visible in a radiograph but do not require changes in technique: | ulcers, diverticula, simple fractures |
| Name disease that do not require radiography and are diagnosed through lab testing: | diabetes mellitus, anemia, meningitis |
| A ____ percent in kVp will approximately double the exposure to the IR. | 15 |

| _______ is an infection by mycobacteria that causes the inflammatory response. | Tuberculosis |
| ________ is a large dilation of the aorta and results in an increased thickness. | Aortic Aneurysm |
| ______ is fluid accumulation within the peritoneal cavity that causes an increase in tissue thickness. | Ascites |
| ______ are most commonly present in the gallbladder or kidney and are calcified, which causes an increase in atomic number of tissue. | Calcified stones |
| ______ is fibrotic change in the liver and causes the liver to enlarge and ascites can result. | Cirrhosis |
