RADR 2217 - Radiographic Pathology -
Test 1
Acute diseases correct answers diseases usually have a quick onset of symptoms and
last for a short period of time. Example pneumonia
Chronic diseases correct answers diseases may manifest more slowly and last for a
very long time. Example multiple sclerosis
Prognosis correct answers the predicted course and outcome of the disease
Diagnosis correct answers the identification of a disease an individual is believed to
have
Diseases correct answers abnormal disturbance of the functions or structure of the
human body as a result of some type of injury.
Pathogenesis correct answers refers to the sequence of events producing cellular
changes
Manifestations correct answers any observable changes due to diseases
Sign correct answers Objective manifestations of a disease, detectable by a physician
during an examination
Symptom correct answers Subjective manifestation of a disease, the patients
perception of the disease
Syndrome correct answers a group of signs or symptoms occurring together,
characterizing a specific abnormal disturbance.
Asymptomatic correct answers a disease that produces no immediate signs or
symptom; or none at all
Etiology correct answers the study of the cause or origin of a disease
Nosocomial correct answers disease acquire from the health care environment
Sequelae correct answers the lasting effects of a disease
Morphology correct answers the structure of cells or tissue
,Iatrogenic correct answers adverse reactions in response to medical treatment
Idiopathic correct answers No causative factor of a disease determined
Epidemiology correct answers the investigation of disease in large groups
Prevalence correct answers refers to the number of cases found in a given population
Incidence correct answers refers to the number of new cases found in a giver period of
time
Atrophy correct answers decrease in cellular or tissue size
Hypertrophy correct answers Increase in cellular or tissue size
Hyperplasia correct answers Increase in the number of cells in a tissue as a result of
excessive proliferation
Metaplasia correct answers The conversion of one cell type into another cell type that
is not normal for that tissue
Dysplasia correct answers refers to the abnormal changes of a mature cell
Congenital correct answers Diseases present at birth and resulting from genetic or
environmental factors
Hereditary correct answers Diseases caused by developmental disorders genetically
transmitted from either parent to a child through abnormalities of individual genes in
chromosomes and re derived from ancestors
Inflammatory correct answers results from the body's reaction to a localized injurious
agent
Infection correct answers an inflammatory process caused by a disease-causing
organism
Degenerative correct answers Diseases caused by deterioration of the body
Metabolism correct answers the sum of all physical and chemical processes in the
body
Traumatic correct answers Diseases that result from mechanical forces outside of the
body
Neoplasm correct answers New and abnormal tissue growth
, Invasion correct answers If the cancerous cells spread into surround tissue by virtue of
the proximity of the areas,
Seeding correct answers If the cancerous sells travel to a distant site or distant organ
system
What is another name for Osteogenesis Imperfecta? correct answers Brittle Bone
Disease
When does osteogenesis imperfect become present? correct answers Congentia (at
birth) or Tarda (starts in young children and end in adulthood)
What is the description or pathophysiology of brittle bone disease? correct answers
deficient osteoblastic activity; fracture occur with least amount of trauma; congentia
fractures may cause dwarfism
What is the prognosis for ostegenesis imperfect? correct answers chronic fractures
causing worsening deformities and may lead to death
What is the treatment for brittle bones disease? correct answers no cure, drug therapy
to help build bone mass
What is the most common inherited disorder affecting the skeletal system? correct
answers Achondroplasia
Describe the pathophysiology of achondroplasia correct answers Impaired long bone
growth. the cartilage at the epiphyseal plate does not convert to bone tissue.
What are the physical characteristics of a person with achondroplasia? correct answers
Normal truck size, with long extremities, extreme lumbar lordosis, bowed legs, bulky
forehead, narrow foramen magnum
What are the radiographic characteristics of brittle bone disease? correct answers
Multiple fractures at various stages of healing, decrease in bone mass, bone cortex
thin/porous, bone trabeculae thin, delicate and widely spread
What is another name for Marble bone disease? correct answers Osteopetrosis
When does ostopetrosis occur? correct answers During infancy, childhood or
adolescence depending on the type.
What is the pathophysiology of osteopetrosis? correct answers Increased bone density,
abnormal bone contour, abnormally heavy, compact and brittle; significant changes to
long bone, pelvis, base of skull and vertebrae.
