Term
light microscope (beam of light)
Definition
-lower magnification-shows cells
-resolution in micrometers, which is 100 fold increase in resolution over naked eye (2 orders of magnitude)
Term
electron microscope (beam of electron)
Definition
-resolution is nanometers
-orders of magnitude better than light microscope
-can see subcellur organelles
VS.
-scanning electron microscopy-clear 3D images
Term
x-rays
Definition
-use ionizing radiation (too much causes cancer)
*only shows hard tissue good for examing bone
*fluoroscope
Term
xrays
- fluoroscope
Definition
flourencent screen
Term
problems with xrays
Definition
2d images, low resolution, cant see soft tissue, repeat scans dangerous
Term
CT scans
Definition
-stands for Computed Axial Tomography
"section pictures"
-get many transverse (axial) slides through regions
Term
good about CT scans
Definition
is 3D, higher resolution than xrays
Term
problems with CT scans
Definition
radiation risk, not to good at soft tissue
Term
PET scan
Definition
-Positron Emissions Tomography
*reads radioactive isotopes injected in body
*isotopes decay and emit positrons which lead to gamma ray production
* senses gamma ray and convert to electrical impulses
Term
problems with PET scans
Definition
low resolution, isotope expensive
Term
MRI scans
Definition
-Magnetic Resonance Imaging
*no xrays involved, mutiple scans
*strong magnet feild, radio waves and comp.
*high reso and shows soft tissues
*liquid helium cools coils to create field
*radio waves cause protons move out of line
Term
problems with MRI scans
Definition
expensive, noisy effects of strong magnetic field
Term
sonography
Definition
ultrasound
