Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

614
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

389
Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

585
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

502
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Patient Experience Research
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Current waiting time guidelines for cancer patients do not consider patient expectations.
  • Understanding patient perspectives on waiting times is crucial for improving care.
  • Fast-track clinics aim to expedite cancer diagnosis and treatment initiation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate cancer patients' expectations and experiences with waiting times at a fast-track clinic.
  • To explore how these perceptions evolve throughout the patient journey.
  • To inform better management of patient expectations in oncology care.

Main Methods:

  • Purposeful sampling of cancer patients (n=9).
  • Four semi-structured interviews conducted at different time points: pre-visit, post-visit, pre-treatment, and post-treatment initiation.
  • Interviews were audio-recorded and independently coded by two researchers.

Main Results:

  • All patients desired a short waiting time for their initial visit, citing fears of disease progression and belief in cancer's priority status.
  • While most patients perceived waiting times as acceptable, some experienced longer waits than anticipated, with perceptions shifting over time.
  • Patient preferences for waiting times before treatment initiation varied, with some needing time for personal affairs or diagnosis adjustment.

Conclusions:

  • Cancer patients value prompt initial consultations but exhibit diverse needs regarding pre-treatment waiting periods.
  • Effective management of patient expectations by healthcare providers is essential to align experiences with reality.
  • This study offers a novel framework for assessing patient satisfaction with waiting times in cancer care and emphasizes expectation management.
