  2. Elastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastography

    Naturally, elastography sees use for organs and diseases where manual palpation was already widespread. Elastography is used for detection and diagnosis of breast, thyroid, and prostate cancers. Certain types of elastography are also suitable for musculoskeletal imaging, and they can determine the mechanical properties and state of muscles and ...

  3. Tomoelastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomoelastography

    Tomoelastography of the abdomen; upper a healthy state, lower with malignancy.. Tomoelastography (from ancient Greek τόμος tomos, “slice” and elastography – imaging of viscoelastic properties) is a medical imaging technique that provides quantitative maps of the mechanical properties of biological soft tissues with high spatial resolution (called elastograms).

  4. Magnetic resonance elastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Magnetic_resonance_elastography

    Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a form of elastography that specifically leverages MRI to quantify and subsequently map the mechanical properties (elasticity or stiffness) of soft tissue. First developed and described at Mayo Clinic by Muthupillai et al. in 1995, MRE has emerged as a powerful, non-invasive diagnostic tool, namely as an ...

  5. Optical coherence elastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coherence_elastography

    The first OCT elastography of arteries was done by the Brezinski group in 2004 [9] But the term optical coherence elastography was first coined in a 2004 paper with Brett Bouma. [ 10 ] Requiring no injections, OCE is a non-invasive imaging method can gives more details than ultrasound or MRI .

  6. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    Elastography is a relatively new imaging modality that maps the elastic properties of soft tissue. This modality emerged in the last two decades. Elastography is useful in medical diagnoses, as elasticity can discern healthy from unhealthy tissue for specific organs/growths.

  7. Thromboelastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboelastography

    Thromboelastography (TEG) is a method of testing the efficiency of blood coagulation.It is a test mainly used in surgery and anesthesiology, although increasingly used in resuscitations in emergency departments, intensive care units, and labor and delivery suites.

  8. Medication Administration Record - Wikipedia

    A kardex (plural kardexes) is a genericised trademark for a medication administration record. [2] The term is common in Ireland and the United Kingdom.In the Philippines, the term is used to refer the old census charts of the charge nurse usually used during endorsement, in which index cards are used, but has been gradually been replaced by modern health data systems and pre-printed charts and ...

    Physician documentation is then usually included in the patient's chart and used for medical, legal, and billing purposes. Nurses are required to generate progress notes on a more frequent basis, depending on the level of care and may be required anywhere from several times an hour to several times a day.
