Document Summary
Compression and expansion causes a vibration in the crystal, which generates a sound wave; generates a voltage from incoming sound dots indicate reflection of sound. Fluid within gallbladder doesn"t reflect sound, but stones do reflect, and not much sound passes through stones. Small parts - thyroid, testis, salivary glands, breast (lol small) Locomotor page 12 required to house mri machine to provide protection from strong magnetic field. Joints for pain, bones where x-rays not helpful. Liver and biliary tree where us not helpful. Accumulation of radiopharmaceutical chemical interaction with organ/tissue emission of rays. In1902, ernest rutherford described three different kinds of radiation that emitted in the decay of radioactive substances. Rays are penetrating - very similar to x-rays but of slightly higher frequency collimator only accepts radiation of a certain energy. Accumulation of radiopharmaceutical in the organ of interest c/w rest of the body. Bones for occult trauma or tumour (commonly looking for metastatic disease)
