Contraindications for I.V contrast STUDIES • ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATION • MULTIPLE MYELOMA • RELATIVE CONTRAINDICATIONS • DEHYDRATION • MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION • UNCONTROLLED DIABETIS MEELITIS • UREMIA
COMPLICATION OF CONTRAST STUDIES • LOCAL (AT SITE OF INJECTION) • PHELIBITIS • EXTRAVASTION OF CONTRAST • SWELLING IN SOFT TISSUES • SYSTEMIC • MOSTLY B/C OF HYPERSENSIVITY • NAUSEA • VOMITTING • TACHCARDIA • ANAPHYLATIC SHOCK • ERYTHEMA/ERYSEPALOUS
Types of contrast • 1. POSITIVE they produce opaque image • Example barium sulphate,iodine containing contrasts such as urograffin ,omnipaque.ipomoro. • 2. negative they produce radiolucent image. • Example air.
Routes of contrast • Entral contrast is given by oral route. • Anal orifice contrast study is called barium enema/gastrograffin enema • Intravenous. • Intraarterial. • External opening on body surface study is called sinogram / fistulogram/loopogram
General protocols • Informative consent. • Pt should be well hydrated. • In case of i.v contrast study renal function must be aceesed(seum urea/creatinine). • AnyH/o hypersensivity TO CERTAIN DRUGS • PT vitals must be stable. • At time of procedures the life saving drugs must be present
System related contrast studies • GIT • Barium swallow • Barium meal • Barium meal andfollow through • Barium enema • loopogram • hepatobilliary system • Percutaneoustranshepaticcholeangiography. • ERCP • Urinogenital system
Urogenital system • I V U • RETROGRADE PYELOGRAPHY • CYSTOGRAPHY • CYSTOURETHROGRAPHY • RETROGRADE UREHROGRAPHY • MICTURATING CYSTO URETHROGARAPHY • HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM • ANGIOGRAPHY • CORONARY/ CEREBRAL • VENOGRAPHY • CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM • NEW IMAGING MODALITIES ARE USED • CT SCAN /mrii.v contrast is used • myelography
indications • Each contrast study has its own indications • Barium swallow • Dysphagia • Barium meal • Epigastric pain highly suspicious gastric / duodenal ulcer. GERD. Recurrent vomitting. • Barium meal and follow through • Small intestinal disorders .intestinal tuberculosis.inflamatory bowel diseases • Barium enema • Constipation . Malena, colonic mass. Hirshprung disease
INTRA VENOUS UROGRAPHY • Renal stone localization and obstructive effects • Renal function • Localization of ectopic kidney, • Congenital anamoly like horseshoe kineys. • Haematuria • Large pelvic mass
Protocols of contrast studies • Informative consent. • Preperation of pt • In iv contrast studies pt should be kept on light dinner before day of study. • Pt should be kept NPO. • SERUM UREA AND CREATININESHOULD BE NORMAL. • I.V LINE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED. • EMERGENCY TROLLY MUST BE PRESENT. • FOR BARIUM SWALLOW URETHROGRAPHY,SINUGGRAPHY.FISTULOGRAPHY.AND CYSTOGRAPHY PT PREPERATION IS NOT NEEDED. • CLEAN ENEMA/ LAXATIVE SHOULD BE GIVEN IF CONTRAST STUDY IS INCLUDING ITESTINE IN IMAGE. • I,v contrast should be given slowly.
SELECTION OF CONTRAST • IV CONTRAST ARE OF THREE TYPES. • 1.IONIC AND HYPER OSMOLAR • 2.NON IONIC HYPER OSMOLAR. • 3.NON IONIC AND HYPOOSMOLAR. MOST SAFE BUT EXPENSIVE. • MOST COMMONLY USED IS UROGRAFFIN WHICH IS IONIC AND HYPER OSMOLAR.OMNIPAQUE IS NON IONIC BUT HYPER OSMOLAR.ipomoro is non ionicand low osmolar • ORAL CONTRAST ,BARIUM SULPHATE IS CRYSTALLINE POWDER DISSOLVED IN WATER, • BESIDE IT PREPARED LIQUID FORM IS AVAIL ABLE AS GASTROGRAFFIN WHICH IS USED TO
