* * Introduction to Radiology What you need to know about imaging to get through the next four years Mark Chambers D.V.M., Ph.D., M.D. Topics of Discussion How to approach reading any image What are the different imaging modalities What imaging modality is this Tips and tricks for image interpretation Practice! Practice! Practice! How to Approach Reading any Image Identify the patient When was the image taken Are these the proper images The five densities Are the images technically adequate Identify the Patient Always look for the patient name and/or number Even if the film came out of the “right” folder If something seems “wrong”, double check When was the Image Taken Observe dates and times closely, especially with serial images Date “stickers” (color keyed) Are these the Proper Images Correct type of study Correct / complete views Correct limb Contrast The Five Densities Metal Bone Soft tissue (water) Fat Gas Are the Images Technically Adequate Exposure Development / display Positioning Proper contrast Artifacts Movement Interference Magnetic Resonance Imaging Also called “MRI” (used to be NMRI) Image formed by transmitting and receiving radio waves inside a high magnetic field Image “slices” reconstructed by computation The image formed is related to: Scanner settings Patient hydrogen density Patient hydrogen chemical/physical environment Image display on computer or multiple films Ultrasound Also called “sono” or “echo” or “US” Image formed by transmitting and receiving high frequency sound waves Image “slices” reconstructed by computation The image formed is related to interfaces between tissue areas of differing sound transmission characteristics Image display on computer or multiple films Interventional Radiology Also called angiography or “angio” or “IR” Image formed using broad beam ionizing radiation (fluoroscopy) Images acquired using digital detector and processed by computer The image formed is related to the subjects density Usually involves t
