Answer 1

1. AP: Anteroposterior (AP): In anatomy, AP stands for anteroposterior: from front-to-back. For example, an AP X-ray of the chest is taken from front-to-back.
2. Ba: The symbol for barium. Two main types of tests are conducted with the use of barium: the barium meal or barium swallow, for radiologic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract, and the barium enema for examination of the lower gastrointestinal tract.
3. CXR: Chest x-rays (CXR) are a scan used to evaluate the lungs, heart and chest wall and can detect medical conditions such as: Pneumonia.
4. Decub:  A decubitus ulcer is a bed sore, the consequence of lying or sitting in one position too long.
5. KUB: When the test is done to look at the bladder and kidney structures, it is called a KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) x-ray.
6. LAT : Lateral (from Latin lateralis 'to the side') describes something to the sides of an animal, as in "left lateral" and "right lateral".
7. RFA : Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure to treat varicose veins. It uses heat created from radiofrequency (RF).
8. T-spine: The spine in the upper back and abdomen is known as the thoracic spine. It is one of the three major sections of the spinal column. The thoracic spine sits between the cervical spine in the neck and the lumbar spine in the lower back
9. UGI: An upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) is a radiographic (X-ray) examination of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine) are made visible on X-ray film by a liquid suspension.
10. V/Q scan: Also known as Lung or Pulmonary Ventilation (V) and Perfusion (Q) Scans. A lung VQ scan is an imaging test that uses a ventilation (V) scan to measure air flow in your lungs and a perfusion (Q) scan to see where blood flows in your lungs.

1. Radioactive drug administered for diagnostic purposes: Radiopharmaceutical   
2. Transformation of stable substances into charged particles: Ionization.
3. A physician who specializes in diagnostic radiology: Radiologist
