A fundamental consideration in the workup of a jaundiced patient is the pretest probability of mechanical obstruction. Ultrasound is the first-line modality to exclude biliary tract obstruction. When mechanical obstruction is present, additional imaging with CT or MRI can clarify etiology, define level of obstruction, stage disease, and guide intervention. When mechanical obstruction is absent,...
متن کاملACR Appropriateness Criteria(®) myelopathy.
Myelopathy is a problem that requires imaging to distinguish among numerous specifically treatable causes. The first priority is to determine mechanical stability after trauma. Next, it is crucial to distinguish intrinsic disease from extrinsic compression-for example, by epidural abscess. Osteophytes or disc extrusions and metastatic compression are the most common causes of extrinsic lesions....
متن کاملACR Appropriateness Criteria Fever Without Source or Unknown Origin-Child.

Yet in 20%, no apparent cause can be found, designated as fever without source (FWS). The yield of chest radiography in children with FWS is low, and it is usually not appropriate. However, in children with respiratory signs, high fever (>...
متن کاملACR Appropriateness Criteria on chronic dyspnea: suspected pulmonary origin.
Chronic dyspnea of pulmonary origin raises concern for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung disease. A chest radiograph is recommended as the initial imaging study. When chest radiography is nonrevealing or provides no definitive diagnosis, a high-resolution chest computed tomography is indicated. The high-resolution chest computed tomography should include expiratory imag...
متن کاملACR Appropriateness Criteria Head Trauma.
Neuroimaging plays an important role in the management of head trauma. Several guidelines have been published for identifying which patients can avoid neuroimaging. Noncontrast head CT is the most appropriate initial examination in patients with minor or mild acute closed head injury who require neuroimaging as well as patients with moderate to severe acute closed head injury. In short-term fol...
