Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) alternative to diagnostic coronary angiography is emerging as a non-invasive clinically reliable, fast-growing less invasive imaging technique alternative to conventional angiography, multislice CT angiography has been recognized as the method of choice for detecting and diagnosing head,  neck, and heart vascular disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, severe coronary Read More >>>>

VRT Scan Test(Volume Rendering Technique) is used to display a 2D projection of a 3D discretely sampled image. It provides a clearer depiction of the complex anatomy structure which can be used for surgical planning or during discussions with referring physicians. Volume rendering technique (VRT) in three-dimensional reconstruction is a revolutionary 2D and 3D imaging Read More >>>>

Multiplanar reformation (MPR) is the process of using the data from axial CT images to create nonaxial two-dimensional images. MPR images are coronal, sagittal, oblique, or curved plane images generated from a plane only 1 voxel in thickness transecting a set or stack of axial images. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) is a method of displaying three-dimensional datasets. The Read More >>>>

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is considered a dramatic development in CT technology used for diagnostic imaging in this MDCT approach, a two-dimensional (2D) array of detector elements replaces the linear array of detector elements used in the typical conventional and helical CT scanners. There are two main differences between conventional spiral CT and MDCT. Firstly, MDCT Read More >>>>

A fundamental blood test means is a leading or primary principle, overall test, which serves as the groundwork of a system essential part of a blood test. In a fundamental blood test routinely check the complete blood count (CBC) for levels of 10 different components of every major cell in your blood white blood cells, Read More >>>>

A myelogram is a diagnostic imaging test generally done by a radiologist. It uses a contrast dye and X-rays or computed tomography (CT) to look for problems in the spinal canal. Problems can develop in the spinal cord, nerve roots, and other tissues. This test is also called myelography. The contrast dye is injected into Read More >>>>

The neurological exam can be divided into seven areas. The outline below should be memorized. Having immediate recall of this outline allows the examiner to quickly proceed through the exam without omitting any sections. The exam should be performed in an organized, step-wise manner. Preparing the patient and the physician for the neurological examination. The Read More >>>>

Virtual colonoscopy (VC, also called CT colonography or CT pneumocolon) is a special X-ray examination that used CT scanning or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to produce two- and three-dimensional images to look for small polyps or other growths inside your colon (large intestine), from the lowest part, the rectum, to the lower end of the small intestine, and to display the images on an electronic display Read More >>>>

VLDL stands for very low-density lipoprotein and indicates it as bad cholesterol because it helps cholesterol build up on the walls of arteries. Lipoproteins are made up of cholesterol, triglycerides, and proteins. They move cholesterol, triglycerides, and other lipids (fats) around the body. VLDL is one of the three main types of lipoproteins and VLDL Read More >>>>

A venogram is a test that lets to see the veins in your body, especially in your legs, and belly area (abdomen)by using x-rays and a radiographic contrast material. A special harmless dye is injected that can be seen on an X-ray. Venography is an x-ray examination that uses an injection of contrast material to show Read More >>>>

The Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test (VDRL) is a screening blood test for syphilis and related non-venereal treponematoses that were developed by the eponymous lab. It measures substances (proteins), called antibodies, that your body may produce if you have come in contact with the bacteria that cause syphilis. The VDRL test is used to screen for syphilis (it has Read More >>>>
