X-ray computer tomography scan

Evaluation Frequent physical examination, complete blood count (CBC), reticulocyte, and urinalysis based on symptomatology, the following may be needed needle aspiration to rule out osteomyelitis, abdominal studies (x-ray, computed tomography scan, etc), liver function tests, bilirubin, culture, and chest x-ray. 

Chest x-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan, and positron emission tomography (PET) scan are the most valuable diagnostic tests. Integrated CT-PET technology appears to improve diagnostic accuracy in staging NSCLC over CT or PET alone.

Imaging Studies. Auscultation and percussion are integral to the initial examination of the pulmonary patient The next step in evaluation is often imaging studies. The most common imaging studies in pulmonary medicine are radiographs of the chest (X rays), computed tomography (GT) scans, high-resolution...

Chest x-ray or chest computed tomography scan may reveal infiltrates, atelectasis, bronchiectasis, and mucus plugging. 

Intestinal obstruction may be manifested as meconium ileus, distal intestinal obstruction syndrome, or intussusception on abdominal x-ray or computed tomography scan. Rectal prolapse may be noted on physical exam. 

Radiologic scans x-rays, computed tomographic (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron-emission tomography (PET)... 

Radiographic imaging studies may include chest x-ray, bone scan, chest and abdominal computed tomography scans, positron emission tomography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. 

The most common type of PET scan uses a radioactive form of the sugar glucose to measure how the brain or body functions and to identify any tumor activity. CT (computed tomography) scans use X-rays to create a three-dimensional image of the body s structure. If your doctor will be ordering a standard PET or PET/CT scan of your body for examining your cancer, request that the scan be ordered with the specification that it also include a dedicated view of your...
