SPI 2- Patient Care and New Technologies
Across
- 3. when acoustic fields cause motion of fluids
- 6. cavitation the production of bubbles in a liquid medium
- 9. a sonographic technique used to evaluate the stiffness of a mass or tissue ergonomics—the scientific study of creating tools and using equipment effectively in order to help the human body adjust to the work environment
- 10. rapid heart rate; a rate that exceeds the normal rate for the person's age
- 11. imaging technology that provides the ability to view alternate imaging modality (e.g., CT or MRI) during real-time sonography; also referred to as hybrid imaglng
- 12. index the calculation used to predict the maximum temperature elevation in tissues as a result of the attenuation of sound
- 13. external defibrillator a portable device that is used to detect and treat abnormal heart rhythms with electrical defibrillation
- 14. ketoacidosis a complication of diabetes that results from the severe lack of insulin
- 15. ultrasound (CEUS) type of imaging in which an ultrasound contrast agent containing microscopic gas bubbles is used to improve visualization of structures or blood flow
- 17. wave elastography elastography technique that uses shear wave information to analyze the stiffness of tissue
- 19. radiation force impulse imaging— uses acoustic radiation force to compress the soft tissue and provides a qualitative measurement of stiffness without requiring pressure input from the sonographer
- 20. a lower-than-normal blood sugar level
Down
- 1. ultrasound the technique that employs a miniature ultrasound transducer placed on a catheter and inserted into the circulatory system
- 2. of the liver
- 4. index— the calculation used to identify the likelihood that cavitation could occur
- 5. forces forces exerted by a sound beam on an absorber or reflector that can alter structures
- 7. the body's pathologic response to illness, trauma, or severe physiologic or emotional stress
- 8. mnemonic, which stands for "as low as reasonably achievable: that is used to remind professionals to keep patient exposure to ultrasound at a minimum
- 14. mellitus a group of metabolic diseases that resuft from a chronic disorder of carbohydrates metabolism
- 16. infection a hospital-acquired infection
- 18. elastography operator dependent type of elastography that measure the change in tissue as a result of compression
