| 영문 | thyroid gland | 한글 | 갑상샘 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 사람의 몸에서 가장 큰 내분비샘으로 목의 앞쪽, 아래쪽에 위치하고 있으며 2엽으로 구성되어 있다. 각 엽은 기관의 양쪽에 있으며 좁은 잘룩에 의해 앞에서 연결되어 있다. 갑상샘호르몬인 티록신(thyroxine)을 분비하고 저장하며, 필요에 따라 방출한다. 또한 갑상샘은 티로칼시토닌(thyrocalcitonin)도 분비한다. 병적인 상태에서 크기가 대개 증가하고, 일부에서는 도리어 위축되며, 통증을 나타내기도 한다. |

| 영문 | thyroid carcinoma | 한글 | 갑상샘암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 갑상샘에 생긴 상피세포로 이루어진 악성종양물. 병리조직학적인 형태에 따라 유두상, 소포상, 역형암종 및 수질암종, 림프종 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 다양한 원인이 있으나, 일부에서는 방사선폭로에 의해 발생한다. 치료는 수술, 방사성 옥소, T4 억제요법 등이 사용된다. |

| 영문 | thyroid hormone | 한글 | 갑상샘호르몬 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 광의의 갑상선호르몬은 티록신(thyroxine(T4)), 삼요드티로닌(triiodothyronine (T3)), 티로칼시토닌(thyrocalcitonin)의 3가지중 하나를 말하나 대개의 경우 협의의 뜻으로 사용되며 이 경우 티록신과 삼요드티로닌을 지칭한다. 갑상선 호르몬은 거의 모든 몸세포에서의 바탕질대사에 관여하여 에너지생성을 증가시키고 성장 발육을 촉진한다. 이것은 뇌하수체에서 분비되는 갑상샘 자극호르몬에 의해 합성 및 분비가 촉진된다. 섭취하여 체내에 들어온 요오드가 능동운반에 의해 갑상샘세포내로 들어가 세포내에 있는 단백질인 갑상샘 글로블린과 결합하여 갑상샘호르몬으로 합성된다. 요오드가 3분자 결합한 것을 T3, 4분자 결합한 것을 T4라 부름. 분비되는 갑상선 호르몬중 90%이상이 T4이다. 혈중으로 분비된 갑상샘호르몬은 혈중 단백질과 결합하는데 대부분은 티론신결합글로블린과 결합하며 일부는 알부민과 결합한다. 전반적인 대사율을 촉진시키며 어린이에서는 성장을 촉진시킨다. 특히 어린이에서 몰단백질 합성을 촉진하며 뇌의 발달에 중요한 기능을 함으로써, 선천성 갑상샘저하증(cretinism)을 조기 발견하여 치료하지 못하면 정신지체가 유발된다. 갑상샘과다증의 증상은 체내 대사가 항진되어 식욕이 증가하나 체중이 감소하고 심장박동수가 증가하고 더위를 참지 못하며, 갑상샘기능저하증의 증상은 위와 반대로 식욕이 감소하고 체중이 증가하며 심장박동수가 감소하고 추위를 참지 못하며 피부에 단백질이 축적되어 점액부종이 유발된다. |

| 영문 | bone scan | 한글 | 뼈스캔 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뼈의 무기질은 칼슘과 인산염으로 이루어져 있다. 그래서 뼈에 병터가 있는 경우에는 뼈의 인산염분포나 양이 변화하게 된다. 이것을 이용하여 인산염에다가 방사선을 내보내는 물질을 붙여 환자에게 투여하고 그 물질이 내보내는 방사선을 이용하여 영상을 만들어서 뼈의 전반적인 상태나 병터의 발견에 이용하는 방법을 뼈스캔(bone scan)이라고 한다. |

| 영문 | cardiac scan | 한글 | 심장스캔 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 심장의 기능이나 이상을 평가하기 위해서 방사선을 내는 물질을 체내에 투여하고 이것이 내는 방사선을 이용하여 영상을 만드는 방법. |

| thyroid scan | A picture taken of the thyroid gland after radioactive iodine is taken by mouth. (12 Dec 1998) |

| abscess scan | <investigation> This is a nuclear scan that utilises radioactively tagged white blood cells. The patients white blood cells (taken from a small tube of blood) are tagged with radioactive indium. Later, the cells are then reinjected into the bloodstream. The coarse of the white blood cells can then be mapped using a gamma camera (radiation detecting device). The net result is a picture that shows the location of the radioactive white blood cells. The location of the white cells can indicated the presence of infection or inflammation. This test is useful in detecting a hidden source of bacterial infection, such as an abscess. (11 Mar 1998) |
| biliary scan | <investigation, radiology> A test that uses a radioactive tracer to look for bile duct obstruction or gallbladder inflammation. A special tracer is injected into a vein that tends to collect primarily in the liver. It is then excreted in the bile where it makes its way to the gallbladder. A gamma camera measures the tracer (radioactivity) and generates an image of the gallbladder and biliary system. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bone scan | <investigation, radiology> A study of the body skeleton. A dose of radioactive substance is injected and the scan (taken a little time later) reads the distribution of the radioactivity. (16 Dec 1997) |
| bone scan: falsely negative metastases | <radiology> Anaplastic tumours, reticulum cell sarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma, histiocytosis, neuroblastoma, multiple myeloma (positive scan usually due to recent or impending fracture) (12 Dec 1998) |
| captopril renal scan | <radiology> In a kidney with a lesion in the afferent arteriole (e.g. Atherosclerotic plaque), reflex constriction of the efferent arteriole occurs through angiotensin system thus maintaining renal perfusion. ACE inhibition prevents constriction of efferent arteriole. Therefore, perfusion is decreased to a kidney with afferent lesions and the renal scan to looks WORSE. Bottom line: renal scans appear WORSE with captopril administration if there is a lesion in the afferent arteriole. See: renal artery stenosis (12 Dec 1998) |
| gallbladder scan | <investigation, radiology> A test that uses a radioactive tracer to look for bile duct obstruction or gallbladder inflammation. A special tracer is injected into a vein that tends to collect primarily in the liver. It is then excreted in the bile where it makes its way to the gallbladder. A gamma camera measures the tracer (radioactivity) and generates an image of the gallbladder and biliary system. (27 Sep 1997) |
| radionuclide scan | An exam that produces pictures (scans) of internal parts of the body. The patient is given an injection or swallows a small amount of radioactive material. A machine called a scanner then measures the radioactivity in certain organs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventilation-perfusion scan | A lung function test, especially useful for pulmonary embolism, employing an inhaled radionuclide for ventilation and an intravenous radionuclide for perfusion; their respective distributions in the lung are recorded scintigraphically. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cat scan | <investigation, procedure, radiology> A special radiographic technique that uses a computer to assimilate multiple X-ray images into a 2 dimentional cross-sectional image. This can reveal many soft tissue structures not shown by conventional radiography. Scans may also be dynamic in which a movement of a dye is tracked. Cuts may be 5 or 10 mm apart or, in some instances even further apart. A special dye material may be injected into the patients vein prior to the scan to help differentiate abnormal tissue and vasculature. The machine rotates 180 |
| meckel scan | <radiology> Agent: Tc-99m pertechnetate, prep: pentagastrin -- increase acid production, cimetidine -- block secretion of acid, glucagon -- decrease bowel activity see also: Meckel diverticulum (12 Dec 1998) |
| vq scan | <investigation> A nuclear medicine test that involves the inhalation of a radioactive gas and the injection of a radioactive compound into the bloodstream. A special camera measures the radioactive compound and generates a image of the lungs. Comparisons are made between the images generated. Pulmonary embolism can be diagnosed using this procedure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| PET scan | Positron Emission Tomography. A scanning device which uses low-dose radioactive sugar to measure brain activity. This is a limited-use diagnostic tool. (16 Dec 1997) |
| MRI scan | A special imaging technique used to image internal stuctures of the body, particularly the soft tissues. An MRI image is often superior to a normal X-ray image. It uses the influence of a large magnet to polarize hydrogen atoms in the tissues and then monitors the summation of the spinning energies within living cells. Images are very clear and are particularly good for soft tissue, brain and spinal cord, joints and abdomen. These scans may be used for detecting some cancers or for following their progress. Acronym: MRI (11 Nov 1997) |
| MUGA scan | This noninvasive test uses radioactive tracers to delineate the hearts chambers and major vessels. It may be used to detect a heart attack, heart muscle function and coronary artery disease. The patient receives a radioactive tracer by injection (into a vein) and then the heart is imaged using a gamma camera. The heart is imaged before and after exercise. This test may be used to detect and evaluate atrial septal defect, dilated cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, Lyme disease (secondary), mitral stenosis and superior vena cava syndrome.
