advanced positioning - IV biliary flouro set 2

        Help!  

Question
Answer
IV administered contrast is absorbed by the:   liver  
🗑
Biliary tract examinations are done to evaluate:   liver function, patency of bile ducts, concentrating and emptying of the gallbladder  
🗑
what kV range should be used for radiographic examinations of the billiary system?   70-80 kVp  
🗑
oral cholecystography (OCG) is done to evaluate:   eval for symptoms persistent with gallbladder disease  
🗑
what are the contraindications for an OCG?   pt. with vomiting, diarrhea, pyloric obstruction, malabsorption, jaundice or liver dysfunction, hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast  
🗑
pt. prep for an OCG   lo fat diet, no laxatives prev 24 hours, no food after oral contrast  
🗑
contrast administration for OCG   single dose given 2-3 hours post evening meal on night prior to exam, 3g telepaque (4-6 tablets). Absorption in 10-12 hours.  
🗑
Pt. position for an OCG scout and why   prone to place the biliary structures closer to the IR  
🗑
PA gallbladder IR sizes   10X12 LW for scout, 8X10 for subsequent exposures  
🗑
PA gallbladder pt. position (prone)   center R abdomen to IR, pt. turns head to rest L cheek on pillow (may need to center 2-4” inf. To loc. Of gallbladder when prone)  
🗑
PA gallbladder pt. position (upright)   center gallbladder to IR CR perpendicular, patient holds on expiration  
🗑
what is demonstrated on a PA gallbladder?   opacified gallbladder, entire gallbladder and cystic duct, short scale of contrast, no motion, adequate technique  
🗑
pt position LAO gallbladder   pt. rotated 15-40 degrees, (thin pt. needs more rotation) perp. CR, center to gallbladder.  
🗑
what is demonstrated on an LAO gallbladder?   opacified gallbladder free from superimposition and foreshortening, entire gallbladder and cystic duct, short scale of contrast, no motion  
🗑
lateral gallbladder is done right to:   differentiate gallstones form renal calliculi, separate the gallbladder form the vertebral column (thin pt.) long axis of gallbladder parallel to IR  
🗑
a R lateral gallbladder demonstrates what:   opacified gallbladder free from superimposition or forshortening, entire gallbladder and cystic duct, short scale of contrast and no motion  
🗑
AP R lat. Decub gallbladder pt. position   pt. R lat. Recumbent, elevated 2-3 inches on support to center gallbladder to film.  
🗑
AP R lat. Decub gallbladder demonstrates:   stratification of gallstones, stones heavier that bile are not visualized, entire gallbladder and cystic duct, short scale of contrast, no motion  
🗑
Operative cholangiography is done for   bile-duct patency, sphincter of oddi function, presence of calculi, intraluminal neoplasms, stricture or dilation of ducts  
🗑
C-arm placement for operative cholangiography   (pt. RPO w/ 15-20 degree rotation) PA over R side of abdomen below inferior ribs ensure no overlap of vertebrae (may need to rotate c-arm)  
🗑
Structures shown in operative cholangiography   biliary system full of contrast, hepatic branches, pancreatic duct, no extravasation, contrast emptying into duodenum, retained gallstones  
🗑
Where is a “t-tube” placed?   in the common bile duct  
🗑
Why would a pt. need a T-tube placed?   assess to biliary drainage, patency, stones, strictures  
🗑
What images are taken with a T-tube placement?   AP scout, RPO, lateral.  
🗑
