    Study Notes

    Echocardiography (ECHO)

    • ECHO stands for Echocardiography, a non-invasive medical imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the heart.

    Types of ECHO

    • Doppler ECHO is used for assessing blood flow within the heart.
    • 2D ECHO (Two-Dimensional Echocardiography) provides a 2-dimensional view of the heart.

    Nuclear Medicine Imaging

    Rectilinear Scanners

    • The main function of a rectilinear scanner is to produce a 2D image of the distribution of radioactive material in the body.

    Obsolescence of Rectilinear Scanners

    • The rectilinear scanner has become obsolete in medical imaging due to the development of more advanced imaging technologies.
    • The rectilinear scanner was largely replaced by the gamma camera in medical imaging.
