Conclusion questions Conclusion Questions: 1. A patient enters a hospital after hitting her head in a car accident. She is diagnosed with a fractured skull but has other symptoms that she is suffering from brain damage. What technology should be used to confirm this diagnosis? (2 pts) MRI Scan first to determine what the problem is with the soft tissue of the brain. And a CT Scan next as it can also look for problems inside the body, in particular for a possible injuries to the skull. Although this test does expose the patient to some radiation. 2.Come up with a situation where it would be inappropriate to use an MRI scan as a diagnostic tool? (1 pt) If the patient is claustrophobic or has some sort of a metal surgical implant in their body. 3.Explain how a bone scan can be helpful in diagnosing bone cancers, like Mike Smith’s osteosarcoma. Be specific. (1pt) Bone scans are helpful in diagnosing bone cancer because the radioactive dye will highlight “hot spots”, places of abnormal bone metabolism activity amongst the bones. When you see hot spots it can indicate there is a problem, however it cannot indicate the source/cause of the cancer.  4.How do MRI and CT scan technologies compare to ultrasonography? (2 pts) They are similar in that they both non-invasive and are able to show soft tissue inside the body similar to the ultrasound. Where ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of the soft tissue, CT uses ionizing radiation and MRI’s use magnetic resonance.
