Study Notes

Breast Tomosynthesis

Radiation dose is within FDA-approved safe levels for mammograms
Similar doses to conventional mammography in some systems
Improves breast cancer detection rates and reduces "call-backs"
Exposes patients to low-dose radiation
May lead to additional testing
Not all cancers can be detected or cured

Mammography Procedure

Confirm doctor's order
Wear gloves and perform hand washing to prevent infection
Inform patient to avoid deodorant, talcum powder, or lotion on exam day
Obtain prior mammograms for comparison
Remove neck jewelry and gown from waist up during exam
Reasons for mammography include genetic testing, diagnosis of fetal infection, and treatment

Amniocentesis

Performed between 15-20 weeks of pregnancy
Recommended for fetal abnormalities, chromosome disorders, and family history of genetic disorders
Used to diagnose conditions like Down Syndrome and detect infection in the baby
Can be used to drain excess amniotic fluid

Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS)

Identifies cysts, tumors, fibroids, and signs of cancer or infection
Confirms pregnancy, determines gestation, and monitors fetal heartbeat
Prepares for surgery and detects warning signs of miscarriage or early delivery
Patient may need to drink beforehand and have a partially full bladder

Newborn Hearing Test

Checks the softest level of sound the ear can hear
Sounds are played to the baby's ears and electrodes detect responses
Measures responses to identify babies with hearing loss
Repeat test is done 12-24 hours later if results are unclear
Diagnostic audiology assessment is done by an audiologist if necessary

Stadiometer and Osteometric Board

Measure height and body proportions
Interpretation: children should fall within the 5th and 85th percentiles
Deviations can indicate nutritional or medical issues

Immunization Record

A comprehensive timeline of vaccinations received
Needed for jobs, travel, or school enrollment
