Radiographic Pathology test 2
Osteogenesis imperfecta correct answers Disease affecting the newborn skeletal
system. A congenital disease with patient born with multiple fx's.
Achondroplasia correct answers A congenital disorder in which cartilage is converted to
bone. Patient has normal trunk size with shortened extremities. Most commonly known
as dwarfism
Transitional vertebra correct answers A congenital disorder that takes on the
characteristics of verebrae on each side of a major division of the spine, generally on L-
spines
cervical rib correct answers Rib like appearance on both sides of transverse processes
of c-7. Can be seen on a PA chest.
osteopetrosis correct answers Generalized increase in bone density, its hereditary and
gives off a marble appearance. signs and symptoms are anemia, deformities of the skull
and compression of cranial nerves.
spina Bifida correct answers Failure of bonue fusion between the two laminae which
causes icomplete formation of the neural arch. It is congenital, and Asymptomatic
unless complications occur, most common in the l-spine.
Scoliosis correct answers Lateral curvature of the spine, that is congenital.
hemivertebra correct answers congenital disorder classified characterized by half the
vertebra being complete or partially complete and the other half being absent. abnormal
vertebra on spine radiographs.
arthritis correct answers Inflamation of the joints, and shows degenerative signs on film
Rheumatoid arthritis correct answers An auto-immune disease from nutritional, stress,
or metablic causes characterized by the over growth of synovial tissues which
progressively destroy cartilage, bone and supporting structures. usually found in wrists,
hands and feet.
reiter syndrome correct answers calcaneal spurs, conjunctivitis, urethritis, and
uclerations. Shows narrow eroded joint space, and calcaneal spurs.
Ankylosing spndylitis correct answers Arthritis of the spine eventually causing the spine
to become fused into a rigid block of bone, noted as bamboo spine. unknown cause,
occurs more in males, can be fatal.
, osteoarthritis correct answers Non-inflammatory deterioration of joint cartilage which
occurs as a result of the gradual wear and tear of aging. Pain swelling, heat and
redness of joint, generally seen a bone spurs.
gouty arthritis correct answers excess amounts of uric acid are produced and deposited
in the joints. It is a genetic metabolic disorder. Seen as erosion and overhanging edges
of joint, crystal deposits of uric acid. Can be seen obvious in the MTP joint of the 1st
toe.
osteitis correct answers Infection of the bone. Shows dense bones and is treated with
meds
Osteomyelitis correct answers Infection of the bone and bone marrow. Most often
caused by staph. Hot spots show up on radiographs. Extremely Painfull.
Bursitis correct answers Inflammation of the bursae surrounding tendons of a joint.
Calcified deposits are demonstraded in the tendons of patients.
Gout correct answers Deposits of uric acid in joints and cartilage. Painfull arthritis.
Osteoperosis correct answers Decrease in density of bone due to loss of calium
content, from aging and hormonal chages, and increases risk of fx.
Osteomalacia (rickets) correct answers Softening of the bone due to inadequate
amounts of minerals. Can be seen as bowing of the legs.
Paget's diesease osteitis deformans correct answers Bone characterized by two
stages, bone becomes weakened causing bending, then fx. Shows a mixed area of
radiolucent and radiopaque areas.
Osgood-shlatter's disease correct answers Inflammation or partial seperation of the
tibial tuberosity. Caused by trauma to the epiphysis which later causes seperation.
Common at young age in males
Osteosarcoma correct answers Primary Bone Malignancy. Destructive lesions giving a
sun-ray appearance.
Multiple Myeloma correct answers Malignant neoplasm of the bone marrow. Shows a
Punched Out leasion in the bone and has a swiss cheese apperance.
Ewings Sarcoma correct answers Tumore of bone marrow in children and young
adults. Arises from bone marrow. bone destruction in central portion of long bone.
Onionskin appearance be seen in the periosteal.
