Finals | CM Chemical Composition Flashcards
General radiography of the GI tract
INSOLUBLE SULFATE (or Sulphate) -Powder Form
Contraindicated for suspected perforation
Water-Soluble Sulfate
Used when pt can’t easily eliminate Ba sulphate
Water-Soluble Sulfate
Water-Soluble Sulfate example/s
Gastrofin
Ultravist-370
Ba powder mixed with suspension (water/ liquid medication)
Ba Suspension
Offers flexibility based on pt;s needs and specific exam requirements
Ba Suspension
Used for esophagograms to evaluate swallowing disorders or structural abnormalities
Ba Sulfate Paste
Used in lower GI tract exam’n, specifically for imaging the colon and rectum
Ba Enema
Ba is introduced into the rectum via an enema to coat the colon, allowing for visualization of the colon walls, and detection of abnormalities such as divertivula, tumors, or polyps
Ba Enema
Given before introducing BaE, and reason why
Laxatives; for proper covering of CM into lining of colon
Mono-, di-, and tri-iodinated ethyl esters of a mixture of various saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in poppy seed oil
Ethiodized/ Oily CM
Used in lymphography due to their insoluble property and low acute locate toxicity
Mono-, di-, and tri-iodinated ethyl esters of a mixture of various saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in poppy seed oil
Other radiographic examns wherein ethiodized/ oily cm is used
- Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG)
- Sialography
Ethiodized CM example/s
Lipiodol UF and Ethiodol
Contains iodine in the form of salths that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water
Ionic Iodinated CM (HOCM)
Composed of a benzene ring (triiodinated) structure which makes them radiopaque
Ionic Iodinated CM (HOCM)
Ionic Iodinated CM (HOCM) example/s
- Diatrizoate (Hypaque, Urografin)
- Iothalamate (Conray)
Used for IVU: Imaging the urinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder).
Ionic Iodinated CM (HOCM)
Used for angiography: Blood vessels
Ionic Iodinated CM (HOCM)
Used for CT imaging: To enhance the visibility of blood vessels and organs in contrast-enhanced CT scans
Ionic Iodinated CM (HOCM)
Used for GI studies: Can be used orally or rectally for imaging the GI tract if barium sulfate is contraindicated (e.g., suspected perforation)
Ionic Iodinated CM (HOCM)
