Positron Emission Tomography (PET) - ANS-computed tomography
records the positrons (positive charged particles) emitted from a
radiopharmaceutical to produce a cross-sectional image of metabolic
activity of body tissues to determine the presence of disease
radiography - ANS-technique in which x-rays are passed through the body
or area and captured on a film to generate an image; also called x-ray
single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) - ANS-radiological
technique that integrates computed tomography (CT) and a radioactive
material (tracer) injected into the bloodstream to visualize blood flow to
tissues and organs
ultrasonography (US) - ANS-high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) are
directed at soft tissue and reflected as "echoes" to produce an image on a
monitor of an internal body structure; also called ultrasound, sonography,
and echo
biopsy - ANS-removal of a representative tissue sample from a body site
for microscopic examination, usually to establish a diagnosis
excisioanal - ANS-biopsy in which the entire lesion is removed
incisional - ANS-biopsy in which only a small sample of the lesion is
removed
ablation - ANS-removal of a body part, pathway, or function by surgery,
chemical destruction, electrocautery, freezing, or radio frequency (RF)
anastomosis - ANS-surgical joining of two ducts, vessels, or bowel
segments to allow flow from one to another
curettage - ANS-scraping of a body cavity with a spoon-shaped instrument
called a curette (curet)
