Common Radiology Studies in Pediatric Surgery
A Scenario Based Approach to Interpretation for the Pediatric Nurse and Provider

Objectives
By the end of this presentation, the learner will be able to:1. Discuss a basic approach to interpreting common radiology
studies, including chest and abdominal X-rays, upper GIs, and CT scans.
2. Discuss key radiographic findings exhibited by patients with congenital abnormalities.
3. Recognize key abnormal radiological findings with acquired surgical diagnoses.
May be used for diagnosis or evaluation of:• Masses• Appendicitis• Intussusception• Cholelithiasis/cholecystitis• Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis• Malrotation• Ovarian pathologies

4
SMA/SMV to Evaluate for Malrotation
SMA= Superior Mesenteric Artery
SMV= Superior Mesenteric Vein
Esophagram
May be used for:• Evaluation for esophageal stricture• Integrity of anastomosis after TE fistula repair• Retained food bolus• Esophageal damage after caustic ingestion (e.g. battery)• Other congenital abnormalities
Esophagram

Upper Gastrointestinal Series (UGI)
Used to evaluate for:• Duodenal atresia• Malrotation• Strictures or atresias of small bowel• Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (not modality of choice)
Normal UGI

Contrast Enema
Used to evaluate for:• Hirschprung disease• Strictures or atresias of colon• Other reasons for delayed passage of meconium
Treatment for intussusceptionMay use:
• Air• Water soluble contrast• Barium

Case Scenario 6
5 day old, 29 week preemie, presents with feeding intolerance and blood in stool
• History• PMHx• Vital Signs
o Temperature 37.2 ºCo Heart Rate 156 bpmo Respiratory Rate 36 bpmo Pulse Ox 97% room air
Case Progression
What are your differential diagnoses?• Milk protein intolerance• Anal fissure• Sepsis• Non-accidental trauma• Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)What test(s) do you want to order?
Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Modified Bell Staging Criteria:
• IA: Signs of sepsis, abdominal distention, guaiac positive stools, KUB with normal gas pattern or mildly dilated loops of bowel
• IB: Same except bright blood from rectum
• IIA: Same except pneumatosis intestinalis noted on KUB
• IIB: Thrombocytopenia, abdominal tenderness, portal venous gas
Radiation exposure may lead to:Increased cancer risk throughout lifetime
Pediatric considerationsChildren are more radiation sensitivePotential for radiation exposure over lifetime

Radiation Exposure
Radiation exposure expressed as effective doseMillisievert (mSv)Considered whole body dose of radiation in relation to environmental exposureTypical environmental exposure is 3 mSv/year
Qualitative risk levelsNegligible- less than 2 days background exposureMinimal- more than 2 days, less than 1 month background exposureVery low- more than 1 month, less than 8 monthsLow- 8 months to 6 yearsModerate- more than 6 years
Radiation Exposure
Type of Exam Months of Annual Background Radiation2 view CXR 10 daysCT scan of abdomen and pelvis 3 yearsUpper GI 2 yearsCT chest 2 yearsCT head 8 months
Radiation Exposure
