Tests are performed in ………….
Laboratory tests include ………
The common imaging tests are ………
Read the case report below and put down what tests should be ordered to clarify the diagnosis?
Case Report
A 66-year-old female patient with a history of persistent atrial fibrillation and severe mitral stenosis secondary to rheumatic heart disease for which she underwent mitral valve replacement 25 years ago presented with progression of her baseline dyspnea (одышка). On presentation, she had stable vital signs; neck examination revealed bilateral congested (застойный, переполненный кровью) neck veins with prominent systolic venous pulsations. Chest and heart auscultation revealed a well-heard mechanical click, a pansystolic murmur (шум) heard over the tricuspid area and decreased air entry over the right lung base.
Dx: Big Heart
Speaking
Magnetic Resonance (MR) spectroscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic test for measuring biochemical changes in the brain, especially the presence of tumors. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identifies the anatomical location of a tumor, MR spectroscopy compares the chemical composition of normal brain tissue with abnormal tumor tissue. This test can also be used to detect tissue changes in stroke and epilepsy.MR spectroscopy is conducted on the same machine as conventional MRI. The MRI scan uses a powerful magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create detailed images. Spectroscopy is a series of tests that are added to the MRI scan of the brain or spine. MR spectroscopy analyzes molecules such as hydrogen ions or protons. Proton spectroscopy is more commonly used.
21. Group Work. Read the notice on the right and answer the questions:
ü What is MRI and MR Spectroscopy? What forms of energy do thy use?
ü What do these imaging tests measure and define?
ü What are advantages\disadvantages of these imaging tests?
ü Is it safe to undergo these tests?
ü Would you agree to participate in this trial? Why or why not? Give your pros and cons.
