Which imaging technique is X-ray visualization of body parts in motion?
Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures–similar to an X-ray “movie.” A continuous X-ray beam is passed through the body part being examined. The beam is transmitted to a TV-like monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail.
Which is performed from inside the esophagus is an ultrasonic imaging technique used to evaluate heart structures?
A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) uses echocardiography to assess the structure and function of the heart. During the procedure, a transducer (like a microphone) sends out ultrasonic sound waves.
Which term describes the path that the X-ray beam follows through the patients body from the entrance to the exit?

Is a nuclear scanning test that identifies new areas?
A bone scan is a nuclear scanning test that identifies new areas of bone growth or breakdown in the body’s skeletal system.
Is an instrument used to visually examine the external ear and tympanic membrane?
An otoscope or auriscope is a medical device which is used to look into the ears. Health care providers use otoscopes to screen for illness during regular check-ups and also to investigate ear symptoms. An otoscope potentially gives a view of the ear canal and tympanic membrane or eardrum.
What best characterizes a CT scan?
Specializes diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound, MRI and CT scans. What best characterizes a CT scan? Uses ionizing x-rays and computer to produce a transverse image of the body organs. Which term describes an x-ray test to show an organ in depth?
Which examination technique is the visualization of body parts in motion?
Which examination technique is the visualization of body parts in motion by projecting x-ray images on a luminous fluorescent screen? Fluoroscopy visualizes moving body parts by projecting x-rays onto a fluorescent screen. Thus the correct answer is fluoroscopy (b.).
What is an instrument used to visually examine the external ear and tympanic membrane?
Which technique is used to help locate problems within blood vessels throughout the body?
Doctors use angiography to diagnose and treat blood vessel-related diseases. Angiography exams produce pictures of major blood vessels throughout the body.
Which instrument is used to examine the tympanic membrane?
The Physician uses a specialized instrument called an “otoscope” (“oto” = Ear; and “scope” = to view) to examine an ear. The otoscope allows the physician to not only magnify the small areas of the ear but it also provides light for the areas that are to be viewed.
What is the instrument used to look in ears?
otoscope
An otoscope is an instrument which is used to look into the ear canal. The ear speculum (a cone-shaped viewing piece of the otoscope) is slowly inserted into the ear canal while looking into the otoscope.
