Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

5.8K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Lower GI Series: Barium Enema01:23

Lower GI Series: Barium Enema

2.5K
A Barium Enema, or a lower GI series, is a specialized radiographic examination designed to visualize the lower gastrointestinal tract, specifically the colon and rectum. This procedure is instrumental in diagnosing various conditions such as colorectal cancer, polyps, diverticulosis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Procedure Details
The examination begins by inserting a lubricated rectal tube into the patient's rectum to administer a radiopaque barium solution. The barium flow is carefully...

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow01:24

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

2.3K
The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

608
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

1.2K
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

919
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Bezoars are indigestible masses forming in the GI tract.
  • Gastric bezoars are uncommon, particularly in children.
  • Diagnosis often relies on imaging and clinical presentation.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of a bezoar.
  • Plain radiography revealed a gastric bezoar.
  • The patient underwent surgical exploration and bezoar removal.

Findings:

  • Radiography alone was sufficient for diagnosing the gastric bezoar.
  • Surgical intervention successfully removed the bezoar.
  • Literature review of bezoar radiographic findings and treatments was conducted.

Implications:

  • Plain radiography can be a valuable tool for diagnosing pediatric gastric bezoars.
  • Surgical removal remains a primary treatment option.
  • Understanding radiographic characteristics aids in timely diagnosis and management.
