What is the imaging procedure that determines renal function by analyzing a radioactive IV injection?
renal scan
What imaging technique utilizes radioactive substances?
bone scan
Chemistry in medical imaging?
Frequently a contrast substance is introduced into the body before an imaging procedure.
What type of medicine use isotopes?
Some imaging uses radioactive isotopes to see various parts of the body.
List several uses of radioactive isotopes?
It can be used in medicine, they use a radioactive isotope of a very short half life to help diagnose medical conditions.Carbon 14 can also be used to date organic material and is determined by the decay rate and comparison of carbon-14 to carbon-12 as carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope and will hence decay at a half life of 5720 years. radioactive isotopes can be used todetermine the ages of rocks and fossilsto treat cancer and kill bacteria that causes food to spoilas "tracers" to follow the movements of substances within organisms
What is the imaging procedure that determines renal function by analyzing a radioactive IV injection?
renal scan
What study requires a high contrast setting?
You would want high contrast when imaging bone or metallic foreign objects via radiography. These settings may also be used when performing certain types of injection or ingestion imaging series, such as imaging the blood vessels of the liver or the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Is the radiographic imaging of the blood vessels in the brain after injection of contrast medium?
eeg
What type of medicine use isotopes?

Why need positron?
Positrons are used for 'PET', a medical imaging tomography technique. The positrons are produced in the radioactive decay of Sodium 22.
What is gaddinium?
It's substance used in M.R.I. (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) by injecting it into vein, when imaging brain tissue. Shortly, it's contrast material for the Magnetic Resonance Imager.
An imaging technique used to display soft tissue structures such as blood vessels without the confusing overlay of bone images?
Angiography; radiographic imaging of the heart and blood vessels after injection of a contrast dye
What is a brain-imaging method in which radioactive glucose is injected into the subject and a computer compiles a color-coded image of the activity of the brain?
PET or positron emission tomography
What is the machine known as cyclotron used for?
A cyclotron is used to create various radioactive atoms which can then be used for various diagnostic imaging. It is often used in the medical industry.
