    Study Notes

    Diagnostic Procedures

    Amniocentesis

    • Analysis of fluid from the sac surrounding the fetus to detect abnormalities in the fetus
    • Procedure involves removing fluid by a needle inserted through the abdominal wall

    Arteriography (Angiography)

    • X-ray study using radiopaque dye injected through a thin tube (catheter) to detect blockage or defect in an artery
    • Commonly used to examine arteries in the brain, heart, kidneys, aorta, or legs

    Audiometry

    • Assessment of the ability to hear and distinguish sounds at specific pitches and volumes using headphones
    • Examines the ears

    Auscultation

    • Listening with a stethoscope for abnormal heart sounds
    • Examines the heart

    Barium X-ray Studies

    • X-ray study to detect ulcers, tumors, or other abnormalities in the esophagus, stomach, intestine, or rectum
    • Uses radiopaque dye to visualize the digestive tract

    Biopsy

    • Removal and examination of a tissue sample under a microscope to check for cancer or another abnormality
    • Can be used to examine any tissue in the body

    Blood Pressure Measurement

    • Test for high or low blood pressure, usually using an inflatable cuff wrapped around the arm
    • Examines the arm (usually)

    Blood Tests

    • Measurement of substances in the blood to evaluate organ function and diagnose/monitor disorders
    • Usually involves a blood sample from an arm

    Bone Marrow Aspiration

    • Removal of a bone marrow sample by a needle for examination under a microscope to check for abnormalities in blood cells
    • Examines the hipbone or breastbone

    Bronchoscopy

    • Direct examination with a viewing tube to check for a tumor or other abnormality in the airways of the lungs

    Cardiac Catheterization

    • Study of heart function and structure using a catheter inserted into a blood vessel and threaded to the heart

    Chorionic Villus Sampling

    • Removal of a sample from the placenta for examination under a microscope to check for abnormalities in the fetus

    Chromosomal Analysis

    • Examination under a microscope to detect a genetic disorder or to determine a fetus's sex
    • Examines blood from the mother

    Colonoscopy

    • Direct examination with a viewing tube to check for a tumor or other abnormality in the large intestine

    Colposcopy

    • Direct examination of the cervix with a magnifying lens to check for abnormalities

    Computed Tomography (CT)

    • Computer-enhanced x-ray study to detect structural abnormalities in any part of the body

    Cone Biopsy

    • Removal and examination of a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix using a heated wire loop or a laser
    • Examines the cervix

    Culture

    • Growth and examination of microorganisms from a sample to identify infection with bacteria or fungi
    • Can be used to examine any area of the body (usually a fluid sample)

    Dilation and Curettage (D and C)

    • Examination of a sample from the cervix and uterus under a microscope to check for abnormalities in the uterine lining
    • Uses a small, sharp instrument (curet)

    ...and so on for the rest of the procedures.
