Radiographic Contrast Media RAD TECH 255 SPECIAL PROCEDURES MERRILLS VOL 2
Subject Contrast • Range of differences in the intensity of the xray beam, after it has been attenuated by the subject (patient).
Low Subject Contrast What can be done to attain medical information • see the difference between muscle, organs or vessels Define and outline – organ structure and function
Contrast media • Defines subtle differences in subject contrast • Increases atomic number of area injected • Results in a SHORTER scale of subject contrast
Purpose of Contrast Media • To enhance subject contrast or render high subject contrast in a tissue that normally has low subject contrast.
Atomic Number • Fat = 6. 46 • Water = 7. 51 • Muscle = 7. 64 • Bone = 12. 31
Radiographic Contrast : Influenced by… • Radiation Quality (KVP) • Film Contrast • Radiographic object (Patient)
KVP • TYPE OF CONTRAST USED DETERMINES KVP RANGE BARIUM IODINES 90 – 120 k. Vp 70 – 80 k. Vp (Ionic / Nonionic Water or Oil)
INJECTABLE CONTRAST MEDIA for RT 255 procedures INVASIVE PROCEDURES The “o-grams”
ALWAYS TAKE A “SCOUT” BEFORE CONTRAST INJECTION √ PATHOLOGY √ TECHNIQUE √ PREP & PRIOR CONTRAST √ POSITIONING
SPECIAL “o-grams” • • Venogram Arthrogram Sialogram Myelogram Arteriogram Angiogram Galactogram Hystersalpingogram……. . etc
CONTRAST INJECTION
DOUBLE CONTRAST WITH IODINE HIP Arthorgram
To check fertility
LYMPHANGIOGRAM
Galactography - Breast Duct
Cerebral Angiogram
SPECIAL PROCEDURES ARE INVASIVE ALWAYS GET PATIENT’S HISTORY AND CONSENT BEFORE BEGINNING OR GIVING ANY CONTRAST MEDIA
CONSENTS • • SIGNED AND WITNESSED AFTER PROCEDURE HAS BEEN EXPLAINED CHECK DEPARTMENT PROTOCOL WHO’S RESPONSIBLE ? ? ?
CONSENTS • ASSAULT verbal threat of harm • BATTERY Unlawful touching - unauthorized treatment “X-RAY” TAKEN ON WRONG PATIENT • FALSE IMPRISONMENT Restraints require permission from patient or authorized person
BLOOD WORK LAB TESTS to check function of kidneys prior to injection of contrast • WATCH THE UPPER LIMITS • BUN = BLOOD UREA NITROGEN • Merrills pg 214 range is 8 to 25 pg 242 range is 10 - 20 always check with RAD when level above 20 • CREATININE levels range: range • pg 214 (0. 6 - 1. 5) pg 242 (0. 05 - 1. 2) always check with RAD when level above 1. 2 • Indicates function of kidneys • Diseases / dehydration / kidney failure
EGFR (new test) • • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate • More advanced test for • CREATININE levels
Review of Contrast Agents Types of Contrast Routes of Adminstration Chemical Components
Contrast Media changes the density of the organs Therefore changing the Subject contrast will change the Radiographic contrast and film contrast May need to INCREASE TECHNIQUE FROM SCOUT IMAGE
Contrast Media (review) • Negative contrast • (AIR OR CO 2) • Positive contrast • (all others) • Radiolucent • Radiopaque • Low atomic # material • High atomic # material • Black on film • White on film
Types of Contrast Media • • Radiolucentnegative contrast agent x-rays easily penetrate areas- appear dark on films Negative Contrast Media • Air and gas • complications • emboli-air pockets in vessels • lack of oxygen • • Radiopaquepositive contrast agentabsorbs x-rays appears light Positive Contrast Agents • BARIUM • IODINES Both + & - can be used in same study
2 BASIC TYPES OF CONTRAST material • BARUIM Z# 56 • • • NON WATER SOLUABLE • • • GI TRACT ONLY • INGESTED OR RECTALLY • • KVP 90 – 120* • • • IODINE Z# 53 WATER SOLUABLE POWDER LIQUID INTRAVENOUS OR Intrathecal GI TRACT Also OIL based KVP BELOW 90*
Methods of Administration of Contrast Material • INGESTED – (ORAL) • RETROGRADE – AGAINST NORMAL FLOW • INTRATHECAL – Spinal canal • PARENTERAL (IV, Intrathecal) – Injecting into bloodstream – (anything other than oral)
Contrast media for SPECIAL PROCEDURES Diagnostic agents that are injected into • Circulatory System, Joint Spaces, Ducts • Body orifices/organs: uterus, breast, salivary & lymph glands
BARIUM – a review BARUIM SULFATE Not used in Special Procedures
Barium Sulfate • • • High atomic number Not soluble in water Used to coat the lining of organs Supplied in different thicknesses Used – Esophogram, UGI, Small Bowel, Lower GI or BE
Ba ADVERSE REACTIONS BARIUM INERT SUSPENSION MAY CAUSE ALLERGY OCG TABLETS (IODINE) ALLERGY AFTER EXAM – MAY SOLIDIFY DIFFICULT TO EVACUATE • INCREASE FLUIDS, MILD LAXATIVE • EXTRAVASATION OF CONTRAST INTO PERITONEUM • •
Extravasation of BA in abd
Ingested CONTRAST Gastrografin or Hypaque • High atomic # – Close to iodine • Water soluble • Similar usage as Barium
GASTROGRAFIN Adverse Reactions • Water soluble, safe in the abdominal cavity – Safe to use if perforation is suspected • Very harmful to the lung tissue – Do not use if aspiration is possible
Gastro – Pathology present • Bowel • Obstruction • Note contrast • Seen in kidneys as well
IODINE IONIC OR NON IONIC WATER OR OIL BASE
IODINATED CONTRAST iodine z # 53 • WATER BASED • • • INJECTED VESSELLS/DUCTS INGESTED Organ function/flow OPEN WOUNDS • • • OIL BASED INJECTED NEVER VESSELLS ONLY DUCTS NOT INGESTED OPEN WOUNDS
INJECTION OF IODINE into Vessels • ALWAYS A WATER BASED IODINATED COMPOUND • IONIC VS • NON IONIC • CONTRAST • BOLUS INJECTION • INFUSION DRIP • 50 -70 % CONCENTRATE
IODINE WATER BASED CONTRAST • IONIC • LESS $$$ • NON IONIC • MORE $$$ • MORE REACTIONS • LESS REACTIONS
CONTRAST MEDIA IODINE is either: IONIC or NON-IONIC • Osmolarity • # Of Particles (Cations + And Anions -) – In Solution Per Kilogram Of Water • High Osmolarity – =more Cations And Anions • Can Upset Homeostasis • Nonionic Have No Charged Particles
Contrast Agents IONIC • High Osmolality (Higher risk of complications) NON-IONIC • Low Osmolality (Lower risk of complications) • Gadodiamide (Omniscan) – Iodixanol (Visipaque) – Diatrizoate sodium – Iopamidol (Isovue) (Hypaque) – Iopromide (Ultravist) – Iothalamate – Ioversol (Optiray) meglumine (Conray)
• Less money • More reactions • More money • Less reactions
OIL – BASED IODINE CONTAST Instilled in ORGAN
Oil Based Iodine • Fatty Acids • Insoluble in water – White on the radiograph = Radiopaque • Uses – – – Broncography (lungs) Tear ducts Salivary glands Lymphatic system Hysterrosalpingogram Galactography (breast ducts) • FAT EMBOLUS IF IT GETS INTO • BLOOD VESSEL
