Peter M. Ghobrial MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Sandeep Prakash Deshmukh MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

1. Review general considerations for radiation dose limitation during fluoroscopic examinations 2. Discuss appropriate clinical indications for use of fluoroscopy in patients presenting from the emergency department; some entities for which evaluation with fluoroscopy is no longer primarily indicated will also be described 3. Pertinent history supporting suspected diagnoses will be highlighted 4. Key aspects of successful exam technique will be reviewed 5. Expected exam findings will be demonstrated for each entity  

Introduction Objectives Strategies for Maximal Limitation of Fluoroscopic Radiation Dose Indications For Use of Fluoroscopy in ED Patient Evaluation (inlcluding: clinical presentation, expected effective radiation dose, imaging technique, and key findings--with imaging examples) Suspected Lower Urinary Tract Trauma: Male Urethra and Urinary Bladder Injury Esophageal Perforation Midgut Malrotation Reduction of Pediatric Intussusception Evaluation of ED Patients For Which Fluoroscopy Once Was, But Is No Longer Indicated (inlcluding: clinical presentation, expected effective radiation dose, imaging technique, and key findings--with imaging examples) Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis Small Bowel Obstruction
