Diagnostic imaging in pediatric emergencies. 1980

R M Heller, and C M Coulam, and J H Allen, and A Fleischer, and G S Lee, and S G Kirchner, and A E James

Evaluation of pediatric emergencies by diagnostic imaging technics can involve both invasive and noninvasive procedures. Nuclear medicine, conventional radiography, ultrasound, computerized axial tomography, and xeroradiography are the major nonangiographic diagnostic technics available for patient evaluation. Appropriate decisions regarding choice of these imagining technics can be made only if the advantages and limitations of each are known. We will emphasize the use of computerized axial tomography, nuclear medicine, xeroradiography, and ultrsound in the evaluation of emergencies in the pediatric age group. Basic principles with specific reference to clinical disorders will be presented. Since the radiologist is the primary consultant with regard to diagnostic imaging, his knowledge of these modalities can greatly influence patient care and clinical results.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010372 Pediatrics A medical specialty concerned with maintaining health and providing medical care to children from birth to adolescence.
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
