Toward efficient urography

G J Butler, G R Jones

    Journal of the Canadian Association of Radiologists
    |June 1, 1981

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A survey of intravenous urography in Nova Scotia revealed inconsistent practices. A revised protocol suggests fewer films and discontinuing dehydration, potentially reducing radiation exposure and saving millions.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Intravenous urography practices in Nova Scotia lack standardization.
    • Inconsistent timing and film usage are prevalent.
    • Routine use of tomography and dehydration procedures vary.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess current intravenous urography protocols in Nova Scotia.
    • To propose a revised, standardized protocol.
    • To evaluate the potential impact of a new protocol on radiation exposure, patient risk, and cost savings.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of intravenous urography practices across Nova Scotia centers.
    • Analysis of current timing, film number, dehydration, and tomography usage.
    • Development of a revised protocol with three films, including tomography, and discontinuation of dehydration.

    Main Results:

    • Significant inconsistencies observed in urography film timing and quantity.
    • Dehydration is still commonly practiced; tomography is underutilized.
    • A revised protocol is proposed to standardize procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Standardizing intravenous urography protocols can improve efficiency.
    • Discontinuing dehydration and optimizing film usage may reduce radiation exposure and patient risk.
    • Implementing a revised protocol could lead to substantial cost savings nationwide.
