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