The answer
Read the information typed on the scan
The scan was taken on in 2002 and the patients date of birth is recorded as
1933. Therefore the scan was taken on a 68 year old patient. The name
of the patient has been touched out of the image but will often be there if you
are shown an image in an exam.
While you are studying the image you could say;
This image is taken from Mr/Mrs John/Joan Smith, a 68 year old male/female
What type of scan is this?
The scan was performed with intravenous and oral contrast, note the contrast
enhancement of the intestines and the high signal intesity over the major blood
vessels and from the kidneys. This type of scan is termed `dynamic'.
The student may say
This is a dynamic abdominal CT scan taken on the 4-Jul-2002 on
Mr Joe Smith a 68 year old gentleman
