Surgical Imaging

2. Two key radiation rules—stand back and keep exposure short.
4. Zoom feature that gives a closer image but increases radiation.
8. Small metal pins used to hold bone pieces in place.
9. Space between patient and instrument table that only sterile staff can enter.
11. Clear divider between sterile and non-sterile areas.
12. Keeping the surgical area completely free from germs.
13. A high-dose fluoroscopy setting on the C-arm that gives a brighter image when more detail is needed, but increases radiation exposure.
15. Safety feature on mobile X-ray units that stops the machine instantly when the control handle is released.
16. Extra radiation that bounces off the patient and can reach staff.
17. Limiting the X-ray beam to a smaller area for less exposure.
22. Mobile X-ray unit used in surgery for live imaging.
23. Computer system that helps guide the surgeon using imaging.
25. Metal rod put inside a long bone to fix a fracture.
26. Fluoro setting that gives short bursts of X-rays to lower dose.

1. Movable lead wall that protects workers from scatter radiation.
3. Device that makes X-ray images brighter on the monitor.
5. Doctor who gives anesthesia and monitors the patient.
6. Non-sterile nurse who brings supplies and helps outside the sterile field.
7. Digital sensor used instead of an image intensifier on new C-arms.
10. X-ray of the bile ducts taken during gallbladder surgery.
11. Clean cover placed over the patient or C-arm to stay sterile.
14. Surgery where the hip joint is replaced with an artificial one.
18. Surgery that removes part of a vertebra to relieve pressure on the spine.
19. Sterile team member who helps the surgeon and keeps tools clean.
20. Surgical path through the nose to reach the pituitary gland.
21. Rule to keep radiation As Low As Reasonably Achievable.
24. Fluoro image with contrast that helps guide tools in blood vessels.
