Diagnostic Imaging StudiesRadiology for the Primary Care Provider
Anis Frayha M.D.NPAM Spring Conference
April 18, 2013
Objectives
• Understand the types of diagnostic imaging studies that are available and the information they can provide.
• Determine the clinical indications for obtaining studies and the relative risk/benefit of radiologic procedures
• Explain the diagnostic limitations of imaging studies and how these parameters affect patient care.
Overview
• Modality overview
• X‐ray, Ultrasound, CT, and MRI
• Fluoroscopy, Mammography, Nuclear Medicine
• Contrast Overview
• Imaging by body part
• Neuro
• Chest
• Abdomen/Pelvis
X‐ray
• Pros
• Low cost
• Access
• Cons
• Radiation
• Low sensitivity

When do I use contrast?
• Inflammatory Process
• Neoplastic Process• Endovascular Imaging
Ultrasound
• Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)
• Microbubbles
Radiology: Volume 257: Number 1—October 2010
X‐ray and CT Contrast
• Intravenous vs oral contrast
• Intravenous contrast• Iodinated contrast media – CT, IVP
• Oral Contrast• Barium vs iodinated water soluble contrast
Iodinated ContrastContrast Induced Nephrotoxicity
• Etiology
• Renal hemodynamic changes (vasoconstriction) vs direct tubular toxicity.
• Diagnosis• Serum creatinine > .3mg/dL
• Percent increase in creatinine > 50%
• Urine output reduced to <.5mL/kg/hr for 6 hrs
• Avoid contrast if creatinine > 1.5 to 2.0
• Hydration most effective prevention
