  2. 8. examples are: allergic reactions, kidney failure, metformin use, pregnancy
  3. 11. (last name) a physicist and engineer that helped develop CT
  4. 12. (two words) In CT, affects image detail. Thinner ones show more detail but can increase scan time and dose.
  5. 13. (two words)a limitation in mammography
  6. 16. (two words) when a screening mammogram shows an abnormality that turns out not to be cancer after further testing
  7. 19. used in mammography to compact breast tissue
  8. 22. a breast condition affecting men
  9. 24. (three words) an MRI technical term
  10. 25. (two words) in 1897, did groundbreaking research on "radioactivity"
  11. 26. around 2,800 in the US are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025
  12. 27. mammogram can detect breast cancer up to 2 to 3 years before a _________ can be felt
  13. 29. breast abnormality seen on a mammogram
  14. 30. (two words) when a nipple begins to turn inward
  15. 31. uses nuclear medicine for staging and monitoring of cancer
  16. 32. (two words) one advantage of CT, which is crucial in emergency situations
  17. 33. this is lower, which is a downside of open MRI
  18. 34. (three words) an MRI technical term
  19. 36. (two words) in nuclear medicine, evaluates blood flow and detects coronary artery disease

  2. 2. (two words) advanced imaging modality using x-rays + computer reconstruction
  3. 3. (three words) approved in 2011 by the FDA that showed 3D breast images
  4. 4. can be used as a supplemental test with mammograms
  5. 6. name for type of material considered safe for MRI
  6. 7. (two words) a nuclear medicine study that detects fractures, infections and metastatic cancer
  7. 9. (three words) refers to cancer appearing white on top of the glandular tissue, which is also appears white

  9. 14. (two words) radioactive tracers used in nuclear medicine
  10. 15. CT technology that can create detailed 3D images
  11. 17. a mammogram exam performed on asymptomatic women
  12. 18. a condition that can cause a patient to be uncomfortable during an MRI scan
  13. 20. (two words) a medical imaging modality that shows function, not just anatomy
  14. 21. in a strong magnetic field, these atoms act like a compass needle and align with the field
  15. 23. how fast the CT table moves; faster scans = less detail
