in mri dynamic imaging is when the patient is scanned after a certain amount of time after contrast. for example you do and abdomen w w/o and you scan the patient right after contrast then again 3 minutes later then again 5 minutes later. |

Almost:
In Dynamic Imaging, you are administrating contrast as the same time scanning. In effect you get real time enhancement. Pituitary Scans are often termed "Dynamic". When a patient is scanned for a certain time period after contrast administration, that is termed "delayed scanning" because the contrast is already present throughout the blood stream. Delayed Scanning is important in Liver imaging where the additional time needed for certain tumors to enhance.

wow i was just looking for the definition of dynamic imaging! lol im getting ready for the registry and couldnt find the definition of it. so i saw a topic about it and saw that i had answered it lol i was a little off though i see, but thanks for the info MangetMan. i really couldnt find it, looked in the MRI in practice book, all my class notes, a few other books i have, goggled it, still couldnt find out much, so thanks again.
also i have a few questions you might be able to help me out with. i see your the chief MRI technologist, my question is, well first how long ago did you take the MRI registry? im having trouble knowing what exactly to go over and study and stuff, like before i took the x ray registry i had a few review books and this great online review/practice test program, but i couldnt find anything like that for MRI. so what ive been doing is, they have the, im not sure what its called exactly, but in the back off the ARRT handbook for MRI they have kind of a break down of whats on the test, so im pretty much just going over that (thats why i needed the dynamic imaging defintion) so yea im pretty much just going by whats there. oh so my question, sorry for making it so long lol, do you think that would be good preparation for the registry? i really dont know what else/or how else to study, any advice would be great. thanks!
also one more question. i read your also a radiation safety officer. ive heard of that before, but im not really sure what you guys do? so, well, what exactly do you do? and what kind of training/education did you have to do? just curious as it may be something im interested in. anyway thanks again! |
