Question | Answer |
Radiopaque | x-ray does not pass through, dyes used as contrast medium studies, like barium sulfate and iodine. |
radiolucent | x-ray does passes through |
Hypersensitivity test | detects idoine allergy |
Barium Sulfate | contrast medium for GI studies |
Iodine | contrast medium for angiography |
Barium Swallow | patient drinks barium, fluroscope and x-rays are used to trace barium through the UGI )esophaugs, stomach, small intestine) detects tumors, ulcerations. etc.. |
Barium Enema | Highlight lower digestive tract, bowel is cleared day before test barium is introduced into the colon by enema, x-rays are taken. Fluroscopy, detects tumors, polyps... |
Renal angiography | image of kidney blood flow, detects narrowed vessels, vasucalr damage, renal vein thromboysis, cysts, tumors |
aortogram | image of aorta |
angiogram | image of blood vessles |
arthogram | images the soft tissue components of a joint no catheter |
angiocardiogram | image of the coronary arteries, uses iodine, intraarterial injection, shows the interior of the heart chambers and great vessel. |
venogram | image of veins |
cystogram | dye injected into the urinary bladder |
chloecystogram | image of the gallbladder and bile ducts,(the liver), no fluroscopy, OCG-Oralcystogram |

myelogram | dye injected into lumbar subarachnoid spacem uses a tilt table |
CT Scan | uses a thin, fan-shaped beam that rotates around the pt to produce a cross-sectional view of the body |
PET Scan | uses radiopharmaceticals to produce enhanced images of selected body organs or areas |
MRI | uses electromagnetic energy to produce images |
Helical CT scan | scans a spiral path around patient, creats 3-D image |
Cerebral angiography | visualizes cerebral blood flow,detects aneurysms, clots, turmors, hematomas, abscesses |
Radiopaque | utilizes a special catheter to widen or open arteries that are blocked or occuled |
radiolucent | x-ray does passes through |
Hypersensitivity test | detects idoine allergy |
