Objectives Week 4 - Lungs and Skeletal Imaging

  1. Discuss the physiology behind 99mTcMDP and how it incorporates into bone tissue.
  2. There are three basic types of imaging procedures in bone imaging. Compare threm: spot views, three phase, and whole body.
  3. Review bone diseases presented in lecture - what makes a bone scan positive?
  4. Identify the two different lung radiopharmaceuticals and discuss their mode of uptake.
    1. Ventillation
    2. Perfusion
  5. Compare match to mis-match defects in lung imaging and apply the diseases (PE and COPD). How do they differ?
  6. Identify the basic protocols for lung perfusion and aerosol ventilation.
  7. Identify the parts of a lung ventilation system (aerosol).
