Double-contrast upper gastrointestinal radiography: a pattern approach for diseases of the stomach.
The double-contrast upper gastrointestinal series is a valuable diagnostic test for evaluating structural and functional abnormalities of the stomach. This article will review the normal radiographic anatomy of the stomach. The principles of analyzing double-contrast images will be discussed. A pattern approach for the diagnosis of gastric abnormalities will also be presented, focusing on abnor...
متن کاملA Phantom Study for the Optimization of Image Quality and Radiation Dose for Common Radiographic Examinations in Digital Radiography
Introduction: Phantom studies facilitate the implementation of radiation dose surveillance as a function of radiographic technical parameters for minimizing patient radiation dose. The evidence of such investigations can then be used to evaluate technical parameters used in the radiographic procedures to reduce radiation dose without compromising the image quality. Material and Methods: This ex...
متن کاملComparison of computed radiography and film/screen combination using a contrast‐detail phantom
The purpose of this work is to compare computed radiography (Kodak CR 400) and film/screen combination (Speed 400) systems in regards of patient dose, technique settings, and contrast-detail detectability. A special contrast-detail phantom with drilled holes of varying diameter (detail) and varying depth (contrast) was utilized. Various thicknesses of the Lucite sheets were utilized to simulate...
متن کاملWhite Esophageal Mucosa and Black Gastric Mucosa: Upper Gastrointestinal Injury Due to Hydrochloric Acid Ingestion
ingestion can cause severe injury to the esophagus and stomach. The severity and extent of esophageal and gastric damage resulting from caustic ingestion depend upon several factors. In the present report, we describe the case of a 55-year-old schizophrenic man who drank 400 mL of hydrochloric acid. Endoscopy indicated the presence of white esophageal mucosa and black gastric mucosa, which is e...
متن کاملOptimization of Dose and Image Quality in Full-fiand Computed Radiography Systems for Common Digital Radiographic Examinations
IntroductionA fine balance of image quality and radiation dose can be achieved by optimization to minimize stochastic and deterministic effects. This study aimed in ensuring that images of acceptable quality for common radiographic examinations in digital imaging were produced without causing harmful effects. Materials and MethodsThe study was conducted in three phases. The pre-optimization inv...
