This is a quote from the Jounal of Nuclear Medicine Technology...


In the event that there is a significant splanchnic or bowel overlap with the inferior wall, various maneuvers, such as drinking water or milk or eating fatty food, can be tried to alleviate the problem before repeating delayed imaging.


So, sound like * overlap * would be correct.


I got this by googling the words - myocardial perfusion scan splanchnic

Subject: this is a tough one! sm

Just going to give you wild guesses and maybe it will help - could the word be

self-_____?
cell _____?
____ folate?

I'm not 100% sure but I think it is typed FOLFOX (??)
Man, that's a tough one!
Subject: Man, that's a tough one!

All I can think of is saying GCS fast with something, but then the 96 doesn't make any sense with that, but the 96 could represent glucose, but even then that's not low enough to cause coma, is it? Sorry--just thinking out loud.  Let us know if you figure it out! 


Good luck with that!

tough one (sm)
Subject: tough one (sm)

The only thing I can think of that comes close is that instead of spelling out those letters, he might actually be saying "coronary arteries."

If he's speaking distinctly enough, though, that you're sure he's dictating specific letters, then I'm stumped.

a tough one having to do with radioisotope...plse sm.
Subject: a tough one having to do with radioisotope...plse sm.

The patient is a candidate for a sentinel node biopsy based on the intermediate thickness melanoma. Despite the negative lymphscintogram, it is certainly reasonable on the day of surgery for her melanoma excision to inject ? radioisotope at the primary site and with the handheld gamma counter, we may still be fortunate enough to identify a sentinel node that we can biopsy.

He kind of mumbles the type of radioisotope to be injected and if anyone has any ideas, I can see if they match up to what he is "trying" to say! Thanks so much.

True, but there are some terms that are tough to find. sm
Subject: True, but there are some terms that are tough to find. sm

This one is a good example of a term difficult to Google. However, it can very easily and quickly be found in Stedman's. I recommend books first, Google as a last resort.

You may want to help out at the MT Chat board where only hints are given.

Don't forget what it was like when you started out. You probably weren't at home working alone, were more than likely paid hourly and were able to research ad nauseum.

a tough one--drugs that use "grains" and fractions thereof
Subject: a tough one--drugs that use "grains" and fractions thereof

That's right, go ahead and run off when you see my boring hard question!!


Okay, I've have to say that I never really got the "grain" concept in terms of drug usage and was too lazy to ask my instructors back in the day, and now my lack of knowledge has come back to haunt me.  The doc says this patient is taking "three-fourths of a grain of phenobarbital."  How do I transcribe this? Anyone?

Patient is in for osteoarthritis of the hip. Doctor states- actually rather clearly for her- "Earlier this year he developed a left inguinal adenitis following some deep (s/l dental) cleaning procedure."

Since teeth seem to have nothing to do with your groin, I'm confused... that can't really be right- But I'm also stuck on not being able to hear anything else. :P Ideas?

OATS stands for 'osteochondral autograft transfer system,' and the technique is very similar to mosaicplasty. In the OATS procedure the plugs are usually larger, and therefore only one or two plugs are needed to fill the area of cartilage damage.
