-Valium
-Zonegran
-Zarontin
Related Diagnostic Procedures - answer--MRI
-PET
-CT
-Angiogram
-WADA
-SPECT
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) - answer--Uses a magnetic
field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs
and tissues within your body
,-Cross sectional MRI images are used, but it can also be used to
produce 3-D images
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) - answer--Uses a
radioactive drug (aka tracer) to show the functional activity of
tissues and organs
-PET is commonly used in seizure patients to localize the part of
the brain that is causing the seizure activity
-The test evaluates glucose metabolism in the brain using the
tracer (usually FDG)
CT (Computerized Tomography) - answer--Combines series of x-
ray images taken from different angles and then creates cross-
sectional images that look at bones, blood vessels and soft
tissues.
-Faster than an MRI
Angiogram - answer--Minimally invasive test that uses x-rays
and contrasts to visualize vessels in the brain
-Can show aneurysm, AVM, blood clot, stroke
-Used with Wada test
Wada - answer--Also known as an intracarotid sodium
amobarbital study
-Looks at language and memory on one side of the brain at a
time so that if the side that controls language or has better
memory, the surgeon may consider further testing prior to
epilepsy surgery
, SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography) -
answer--A radioactive substance (tracer) to evaluate blood flow
in the brain
-An "ictal" SPECT can be done right after a seizure to localize
seizure activity
What does HIPAA stand for? - answer-Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
HIPAA - answer--Mandated significant changes in legal and
regulatory environments governing health payments, benefits,
privacy, etc.
-Title II (Administrative Simplifications)
-Ensures security of medial data and info
-Patients have the right to make requests for:
1) copies of medical records
2) amendment to medical record
3) account disclosures of PHI (personal health info)
4) limit info about oneself in hospital directory
ABRET Code of Ethics - answer-Principles that have been
adopted by the Board of Directors in order to encourage
personnel to aspire to the highest possible professional
practice.
An ABRET Registered technologist or Certified individual shall...
- answer-1. Do everything in his or her power to insure that the
