Radiation Therapy - not diagnostic
- Therapy involves treating a patient who
is already diagnosed with a disease.
Nuclear Medicine radiopharmeceuticals
Specialized Areas
Sonography - sound waves
Special Procedures - Interventional ra-

used to detect breast cancer; used to
screen large segments of the population
Tracers are a substance that emits radi-

All of the radioactive compounds (trac-

called radionuclides or radiopharmaceu-
ticals, are artificially produced.

uses high frequency sound waves to
form an image.
Transducer
Ultrasound beam
An image display on a cathode ray tube
or television monitor
Components of Sonography?
• Transducer serves two purposes:
- TRANSMITS sound in pulses and
bursts
- SENSES the echoes that are returning
from the previous pulse

exams that may improve a patient's con-
dition
• Can help the patient not have to have
surgery -
Examples:
• removal of bile ducts or renal stones
• postoperative abscess drainage
• selective cancer therapy
Interventional radiology
Angiographic studies are performed:
- To demonstrate any vascular Abnormal-
ities
- Demonstrate Pathology in the sur-
rounding tissue and organs
To obtain 2D views of an internal organ
or structure,
(especially the brain and spinal cord)
To assess response to treatment,
(especially cancer chemotherapy or radi-
ation therapy.)
Purpose of MRI To assess sports-related injury to bones
and joints.
