Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

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...

Area of Science:

Medical Practice Standards
Patient Autonomy
Radiation Oncology

Background:

Informed consent is a critical communication process safeguarding patient autonomy in healthcare decision-making.
The asymmetric relationship between patients and the healthcare system necessitates robust consent procedures to prevent misconduct and foster trust.

Framework:

This practice parameter was revised by the ACR Committee on Practice Parameters-Radiation Oncology, collaborating with the ARS.
The revision process involved reviewing the 2017 parameter and incorporating new considerations driven by practice evolution and external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Implementation:

New topics addressed include remote consent modalities such as telehealth and telephone consultations.
The parameter emphasizes optimizing the informed consent process for radiation oncology patients.

Implications:

Updated guidance supports practitioners in enhancing informed consent procedures.
This educational tool aims to benefit all parties involved in radiation oncology care by ensuring clear communication and respecting patient autonomy.
