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
