Diagnostic Imaging (cont’d)▪ Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
▪ Uses two different forms of energy▪ Spinning hydrogen atom is placed into a magnetic field, forcing the atoms to line
up and “spin”
▪ Applied radio waves force the hydrogen atoms to cycle in phase
▪ Atoms release a radio wave of the characteristic frequency that is measured and transformed into an image
▪ MRI uses these radio waves in a strong magnetic field to form pictures of parts of the body

Diagnostic Imaging (cont’d)▪ Ultrasonography
▪ High-frequency sound waves are directed into the body and reflected from the tissues to a recording device for diagnostic purposes
▪ Echocardiography
▪ Provides a two-dimensional image of the heart by directing beams of ultrasonic waves from a sonar-like device through the chest wall

Diagnostic Imaging (cont’d)▪ Doppler ultrasonography
▪ Doppler monitor measures blood flow that transmits the sound of moving red blood cells to the transducer
▪ Used in the OR to determine the patency of arterial anastomosis
![Page 11: ANES 1502 - M14 PPT: Diagnostic Procedures](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082515/55c8e31dbb61eb4a6b8b477a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Diagnostic Imaging (cont’d)▪ Isotope scanning
▪ Involves intravenous injection of a radioactive isotope into the patient prior to the imaging study
▪ Radiation therapy
▪ Use of radiation to kill cells by interfering with metabolic activity
![Page 12: ANES 1502 - M14 PPT: Diagnostic Procedures](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082515/55c8e31dbb61eb4a6b8b477a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Laboratory Reports▪ Laboratory or pathology department
▪ Responsible for countless types of examinations on every type of body fluid and tissue that exists
▪ Findings are extremely valuable in sorting out what may be normal for one patient and abnormal for another
