A neoplasm or neoplastic disease is new, abnormal tissue growth resulting from mutations within the chromosomes of the cell (genetic instability). Classification of the neoplasm depends on the tissue type of the tumor. Neoplasms can be benign or malignant. Only malignant neoplasms are cancer.

The mortality rate is the average number of deaths caused by a particular disease in a population. Monitoring and reporting mortality rates provides the leading causes of death according to gender, race, age, and specific causes of death such as heart disease or malignant neoplasia. Trends in these mortality patterns are identified by age, gender, and ethnic origin and tracked to help identify necessary interventions. The morbidity rate is the incidence of sickness sufficient to interfere with an individual's normal daily routine. Tracking the morbidity rate helps to monitor prevalent illnesses in a particular population or geographic areas.

Acute diseases usually have a quick onset and last for a short period, whereas chronic diseases may manifest more slowly and last for a very long time. Examples of acute illnesses are pneumonia or influenza, whereas examples of chronic illnesses are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or multiple myeloma.

study of disease

any abnormal disturbance of the function or structure of the human body as a result of some type of injury.

he sequence of events producing cellular changes that ultimately lead to observable changes know as Manifestations

subjective sensation that the person feels from the disorder

An objective manifestation that can be detected by the physician

the study of the cause of disease

hospital acquired infection

adverse responses to medical treatment.

cause of disease is unknown

usually has a quick onset, last a short period

may comes on slowly, lasts long time

a condition caused by previously acquired disease.

identification of a disease

predicted course and outcome

The structure of cells or tissue

Require decrease in exposure technique
"ex"- Emphysema

Require increase in exposure technique
"ex"- pneumonia

investigation of disease in large groups.

number of cases found in a given population.

number of new cases found in a given population

disease of high prevalence in an area where a given causative organism is commonly found .

a rapid, widespread occurrence in a large number of people in a population.

an epidemic affecting the majority of a population of a large region or an epidemic occurring at the same time in many different parts of the world.

average number of deaths caused by a disease in a population

National Center for Health Statistics and its the centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

the incidence of sickness sufficient to interfere with an individual's normal daily routine

With the exception of reproductive (germ) cells, each cell in the human body contains 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, two sex chromosomes (XX or XY), and the small chromosome found in each mitochondria within the cell.

they determine the physical location of a particular gene on a specific chromosome.

they assign the distance between genetic markers, linking DNA fragments to a specific chromosome.

Variations in the DNA sequence due to the change of a single nitrogen base.

comprises closely linked SNPs on a single chromosome, and it is a very important resource in identifying specific DNA sequences that affect disease, response to pharmaceuticals, and response to environmental factors.

decrease in cell size

increase in cell size

increase in number of cells

conversion to another cell type that is not normal.

change in mature cells that is not normal. Precancerous.

Diseases that are present at birth from genetic or environmental factors.

Diseases caused by developmental disorders genetically transmitted from either parent to a child.

abnormality present on one of the 22 non-sex chromosomes

Disease that results from the body's reaction to a localized injurious agent

Disease in which the body forms antibodies that injure patient's own tissues

refers to an inflammatory process caused by a disease-causing organism

the ease with which an organism can cause disease.

Disease caused by a deterioration of the body

The sum of all physical and chemical processes int he body

Disease caused by the disturbance of the normal physiologic function of the body

Disease that may result from mechanical forces such as crushing or twisting of a body part or from the effects of ionizing radiation on the body

disease that results in new, abnormal tissue growth

composed of well-differentiated cells with uncontrolled growth "BE NICE"

grow fast, spread and invade

Bacteria is distributed around the body through the blood stream.

spread through the blood

neoplasm drains to the sentinel node

if the cancerous cells spread into surrounding tissues by virtue "of proximity"

travel to distant site or organ system

cellular changes that may occur in response to diseases.

general term refers to many types of malignant neoplasms

derived from epithelial tissue

connective tissue cancers

A cancer of white blood cells/leukocytes.

cancer of the lymph nodes

tumor-node-metastasis

The various agents that can induce cell necrosis are local and systemic effects.

Excess mortality is used with the public health to determine the number of deaths that have occurred and the causes from these deaths

The conditions where a Rad Tech might have an encounter with a sickle cell patient is either in X-ray, MRI, CT or in ultrasound. Some sickle cell can be diagnosed or monitored with either of these imaging test.
