  4. 13. Measurement of bone density using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) to detect osteoporosis
  5. 14. Branch of the health sciences dealing with radioactive substances and radiant energy and with the diagnosis and treatment of disease by means of both ionizing (e.g., roentgen rays) and nonionizing (e.g., ultrasound) radiation
  6. 15. Radiography of the breast
  7. 16. Any process by which a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, thus acquiring a net charge
  8. 17. Ultrasonographic imaging of the heart and associated vasculature
  9. 19. Making of records (radiographs) of internal structures of the body by passing x-rays or gamma rays through the body to act on specially sensitized film or an imaging plate or system
  10. 20. Electromagnetic radiation of short wavelength that is produced when electrons moving at high velocity are suddenly stopped

  1. 1. Recording of a predetermined plane in the body using an x-ray beam that is measured, recorded, and then processed by a computer for display on a monitor
  2. 2. Radiologic procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the vascular system.
  3. 3. Branch of radiology that involves the introduction of radioactive substances into the body for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes
  4. 4. Radiologic procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system
  5. 6. Visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections of pulses of ultrasonic waves directed into the tissue
  6. 8. Capacity to operate or work
  7. 9. An advanced-level radiographer who extends the capacity of the radiologist in the diagnostic imaging environment, thereby enhancing patient care
  8. 10. Branch of radiology involved in the treatment of disease by means of x-rays or radioactive substances
  9. 11. The creation of sectional images of the body that demonstrate the physiologic function of various organs and systems
  10. 18. Energy transmitted by waves through space or through a medium
  11. 19. Physician who specializes in the use of x-rays and other forms of both ionizing and nonionizing radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of disease
