Question 81
A thallium scan (myocardial perfusion scan) is used to detect damage in the heart by assessing blood flow to the heart muscle. Nerve, bone, and cartilage are not the primary targets of a thallium scan.
The term "biopsy" comes from Greek roots: "bio-" (life) and "-opsy" (view or examination). So it means "view of life" as it's a procedure to examine tissue for diagnostic purposes. "Cut of life" (incorrect root for "cut"), "Diagnosis" (too general, not the breakdown), "Excision of life" (excision is removal, not biopsy's focus) are wrong.
