Download or read book Imaging Non traumatic Abdominal Emergencies in Pediatric Patients written by Vittorio Miele and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides up-to-date, comprehensive, and accurate information on the diagnostic imaging of nontraumatic abdominal emergencies in pediatric patients. All of the most common neonatal and pediatric emergencies are covered, with separate discussion of diseases that occur more commonly in newborns and those typically encountered later in childhood. For each condition, the main signs observed using the various imaging techniques – X-ray, Ultrasonography, Computed Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance – are described and illustrated with the aid of a wealth of images. Attention is drawn to those features of particular relevance to differential diagnosis, and the prognostic value of diagnostic imaging is also explained. The final section addresses topics of special interest, including the acute onset of abdominal neoplasms, the problems associated with radiation protection in the emergency setting, and medicolegal issues and informed content. The book will be of value for all radiologists working in emergency settings in which pediatric patients (newborn and children accessing the emergency department) are regularly examined.

Download or read book Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound written by Stephanie J. Doniger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergency bedside ultrasound assessment is well established for adult patients, but has only recently been introduced into everyday clinical practice for the care of pediatric patients. Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound is a concise, practical text which explains the principles of ultrasound, its diagnostic application in all organ systems and its use as a procedural adjunct. Both well-established and innovative applications are described, assisting the practitioner in incorporating ultrasound into daily practice, facilitating patient care and decreasing radiation exposure. Case studies and abundant illustrations enable the reader to study the appropriate techniques in detail and learn from real examples from the pediatric emergency department and intensive care unit. Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound is the first comprehensive bedside ultrasonography resource focusing on pediatric patients and is essential reading not only for pediatric emergency medicine subspecialists but for all emergency physicians, intensivists/critical care physicians and pediatricians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term acute abdomen refers to sudden severe abdominal pain with unclear etiology that is less than 24 h in duration. In children, acute abdominal pain presents a diagnostic dilemma. Although many cases of acute abdominal pain are benign, some of them need rapid diagnosis and treatment to minimize morbidity. The present chapter provides an overview of abdominal surgical emergencies in children and discusses the most common disorders that cause surgical acute abdomen.

Download or read book Ultrasound of the Pediatric Gastrointestinal Emergencies written by Ercan Ayaz and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With recent technologies, ultrasound has become an extremely useful imaging modality for evaluating children with acute abdominal symptoms. Higher frequency transducers can be used in children than in adults, owing to their small body size, the presence of less fat tissue in the abdominal wall and peritoneal cavity leading to higher resolution than computed tomography in many circumstances without exposure to ionizing radiation. Real-time ultrasound imaging provides information about motion such as peristalsis, and newly developed harmonic imaging enables improved resolution with decreased artifacts. Beyond gray-scale ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound provides information on vascularity which increases in inflammatory processes. Point-of-care examination includes ability to focus on the symptomatic area of the patient while performing real-time ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound is sufficient for the diagnosis of several gastrointestinal diseases that cause acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients helping to an accurate patient management in the emergency settings. Common gastrointestinal indications for abdominal ultrasound in children are hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, acute appendicitis, intussusception, inflammatory bowel disease, malrotation, midgut volvulus, hernia, and necrotizing enterocolitis. In this chapter, typical sonographic findings of aforementioned diseases, and possible differential diagnoses were discussed.

Download or read book MDCT and MR Imaging of Acute Abdomen written by Michael Patlas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superbly illustrated book describes a comprehensive and modern approach to the imaging of abdominal and pelvic emergencies of traumatic and non-traumatic origin. The aim is to equip the reader with a full understanding of the roles of advanced cross-sectional imaging modalities, including dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To this end, recent literature on the subject is reviewed, and current controversies in acute abdominal and pelvic imaging are discussed. Potential imaging and related pitfalls are highlighted and up-to-date information provided on differential diagnosis. The first two chapters explain an evidence-based approach to the evaluation of patients and present dose reduction strategies for multidetector CT imaging (MDCT). The remaining chapters describe specific applications of MDCT, DECT, and MRI for the imaging of both common and less common acute abdominal and pelvic conditions, including disorders in the pediatric population and pregnant patients. The book will be of value to emergency and abdominal radiologists, general radiologists, emergency department physicians and related personnel, general and trauma surgeons, and trainees in all these specialties.
