For MT, "recognition" knowledge of med terms and anatomy is required. It isn't usually necessary to DO anything with that knowledge. In other words, the MT doesn't have to make decisions based on the knowledge. Coding requires that you use the knowledge. Here are some situations that come up for coders in general. Can you answer these without looking anything up? A particular colonoscopy code can only be used if the scope reaches a p ...

I'd like to supplement what I am already learning and go a little deeper into Anatomy and Physiology. My library has Great Courses DVDs that look promising. If you enjoyed a particular set of DVDs or a lecture available somewhere online, I'd love to know about it. It is extremely importan ...

For any MT students or new MTs I would suggest this book. It's been around for years. It has very detailed, labeled drawings of anatomical structures that you color in (need colored pencils or fine-tipped markers) I had one of these years and years ago (before I knew what an MT was).

Bowel resection, doc states " A 3-0 silk S/L "pop" was then used to create stay sutures at the S/L "tinu or tinea" border of the transverse colon as well as the antimesenteric border." Thanks in advance, I'm sure this is a simple word but I just can't think about what it is ...

Doc says: "There was an obvious tumor mass just above the left upper lobe s/l pickoff." I cannot for the life of me figure out if this is a real term or slang or if I'm hearing it totally wrong. Anyone know? Thanks in advance. ...
