Study Notes
Imaging Modalities for Abdominal Pain
- Ultrasound is the initial imaging modality for abdominal pain.
Pancreatic Mass Diagnosis
- A 60-year-old male with unexplained weight loss and a pancreatic mass likely has pancreatic cancer.
Acute Cholecystitis Findings
- Pericholecystic fluid on ultrasound is a key finding for acute cholecystitis.
Gastrointestinal CT Contrast
- Iodine-based contrast is used in CT imaging of the abdomen.
Gallstone Detection
- Ultrasound is the preferred method for detecting gallstones.
Barium Enema Imaging
- Double-contrast barium enema provides detailed imaging of the bowel wall and lesions.
Common Barium Enema Complications
- Perforation of the bowel is the most common complication of a barium enema study.
Radiopaque Gallstones
- Not all gallstones are radiopaque on X-rays.
Acute Pancreatitis and Gallstones
- Acute pancreatitis can be a complication of gallstones.
Dysphagia and Diagnostic Imaging
- Dysphagia is a symptom of gastric pathology.
CT Scan Superior to Ultrasound
- CT scan is superior to ultrasound in diagnosing liver masses and liver cancers.
Ultrasound for Liver Cancer Diagnosis
- Ultrasound is not the best modality for diagnosing liver cancer.
Diagnosing Gallstones, Polyps, and Cholecystitis
- Ultrasound can diagnose gallstones, polyps, and acute cholecystitis.
Pregnancy and CT Scans
- CT scans are not recommended for pregnant patients for diagnosing gall bladder stones.
Liver Tumors
- Most liver tumors are primary, not secondary.
Jaundice and Pancreatic Cancer
- Pancreatic cancers can present with jaundice.
Gallbladder Polyps on Ultrasound
- Gallbladder polyps can move inside the gallbladder on ultrasound scanning.
Renal Failure and CT Contrast
- Renal failure is not a contraindication for using contrast in a CT scan.
Ultrasound Transducer Sizes
- 3.5Hz transducers are suitable for most abdominal examinations.
Arterial Disease Diagnosis
- CT Angiography is a good modality to diagnose arterial disease.
Barium Swallow and Achalasia
- Barium swallow is good to diagnose achalasia and colonic polyps.
Gallbladder Dimensions Measurement
- MRI is the best way to measure the size of the gallbladder.
Cholecystitis and Pericholecystic Fluid
- Thickening of the gallbladder wall and pericholecystic fluid are indicative of cholecystitis.
Assessing Hepatic Lesions
- MRI with contrast is the modality of choice for evaluating hepatic lesions.
Acute Pancreatitis Imaging
- CT is the most sensitive imaging technique for diagnosing acute pancreatitis.
Esophageal Imaging for Dysphagia
- Barium swallow is used to evaluate the esophagus in cases of dysphagia.
CT Enterography Evaluation
- CT enterography can evaluate Crohn's disease.
Hepatic Abscess Imaging
- CT scan is the best imaging method to assess for hepatic abscess.
Gastrointestinal MRI Contrast
- Gadolinium is the contrast used for gastrointestinal MRI.
Abdominal Ultrasound in Gastrointestinal Imaging
- Abdominal ultrasound is used to assess bowel motility, gallstones, and liver pathology as well as detecting soft tissue tumours.
