Gaslight, Chapter 7/48
(On previous posts I listed the chapter count as 58. I was trippin, it’s 48)
Rated X | Read it here on AO3
Dana taps her pen rapidly against the desktop, re-reading the chart for the umpteenth time.
Male, age 32, presenting with acute abdominal pain. Blood and urine tests came back normal, as well as x-ray and ultrasound. She puts in an order for a CT scan and an endoscopy, making a note for herself to follow it with a barium swallow if those tests aren’t conclusive.
“Who died?”
Dana looks up to see Dr. Thomas entering their shared office and smiles wearily.
“I guess that isn’t a great joke for a hospital setting, is it?” the younger woman adds, taking a seat behind her desk and cracking open a can of soda.
Her copper-skinned face and wide, bright smile had been a welcome second impression after Dana’s initial entry into St. Agnes, and the two became fast friends. Thick-waisted and ample-breasted, Dr. Thomas insisted that Dana call her by her first name, Tiffany, and simply smiled sadly and told her it didn’t matter when Dana asked if they had met during her previous tenure there.
“Sorry if I’m being moody,” Dana says with a sigh, leaning back in her seat. “I didn’t sleep well last night and it’s my husband’s birthday today—I’m just feeling a bit overwhelmed.”
Tiffany arches a curious eyebrow as she logs into her computer.
“Does he have unrealistic birthday expectations or something?” she posits. “One of those people that expects to be treated like royalty?”
Dana shakes her head.
“It has nothing to do with him. I think I’m just putting a lot of pressure on myself.”
What she doesn’t tell Tiffany is that as she and Cal have become more physically intimate over the course of the last week—mostly just kissing, and one instance of wine inspired dry humping on the living room couch—her dreams have intensified to the point that they wake her several times at night.
Sometimes they, she and the man, are in the kitchen with the green countertops. She’s washing dishes and he wraps his arms around her waist, or they are dancing in the middle of the room, sometimes kissing as they move across the floor. She can see his face, his hooded green eyes and full mouth, his impish smile. He’s tall, close in height to Cal, and sometimes he is walking her slowly backwards, grabbing at her ass and pulling her close so she can feel him, stiff against her belly. There is always music, though she can’t quite hear it; she senses that it’s there. In some dreams he’s looking up at her from between her thighs, in others his cock is hovering inches from her face. But it’s the ones where she’s riding him, feeling him not just physically but emotionally, that affect her the most. Those are the dreams that pull her from a dead sleep flushed and humming, that send Cal down the hallway to check on her after another nightmare. They are the reason she can’t quite bring herself to return to the master bedroom, for fear that she will call out the other man’s name in her sleep. But then, at least, she’d know what his name is.
“Men are easy,” Tiffany says, giving her a meaningful look. “Give him a steak dinner and a hummer and you’re good to go til next year.”
Dana barks a surprised laugh, but her belly twists. She has the passing thought that maybe being fully intimate with Cal will relieve her of these sordid memories, these haunting dreams. But at the same time, they feel like all she has left of something that was clearly very important to her at one time.
“We’re getting dinner at Mercato,” she supplies. “Have you been there?”
“Yeah, Rick’s taken me there a few times. It’s nice,” Tiffany answers. “Do you have a sitter for the kids?”
“They’ll be at the neighbors’ while we’re out to dinner, but it’s a school night so we can’t stay out too late.”
“Sounds like fun,” Tiffany quips, then stands and drapes her stethoscope over her neck. “I have rounds. See you tomorrow?”
“Yep.”
Tiffany gets as far as the threshold of the door, then stops and looks back at her with a serious expression. Dana lifts her eyebrows in question and waits.
“Don’t forget to cup the balls,” Tiffany says, holding her hand palm up with the fingers curled as though cradling a pair of testicles.
Dana’s groan at her tasteless joke is cut short by the clip of the door closing.
-
“You look great,” Cal says uncomfortably, and Dana smiles demurely.
“Thanks,” she replies, pulling in a breath and looking around the restaurant.
It’s small, only a dozen tables or so, and the ambiance is decidedly romantic: low lighting, flickering candles, smooth jazz music lilting from cleverly hidden speakers. She tugs on the neckline of her dress, which is a low scoop that reveals the tops of her pushed-up breasts. She’d felt good when she put it on, admiring her silhouette in the bathroom mirror, but now that Cal’s eyes keep falling down to her chest as they try, awkwardly, to make conversation, she feels exposed and vulnerable. They’ve only gotten as far as water glasses on the table beside their menus, and already she can’t wait for this meal to be over.
“How was work today?” he attempts, and she remembers Tiffany’s advice regarding his gift.
“It was okay,” she says blandly, and again they fall into tense silence. Cal’s shoulder jumps and his head quirks to the side, and she knows she’s making him uncomfortable with her own discomfort. “Um, I didn’t really know what to get you for your birthday—” she starts, but Cal stops her.
“You don’t need to get me anything, Dana,” he insists, and she nods once.
“I didn’t, actually,” she admits, and he smiles shyly. “But I had this idea that maybe we could sort of—recreate something. An event that was important but that I can’t remember. Kind of a do-over.”
His smile blooms into a delighted grin, and she feels a warm flush in her belly.
“Really? Like what?”
Dana shrugs. “I don’t know, you tell me. This is something I can’t help you with, unfortunately.”
Cal sits back in his seat, pondering with a playful glint in his eye. The waiter approaches their table and asks about a drink order, and Cal turns to Dana.
“Let’s get out of here,” he says, and she flashes her eyes over to the waiter in embarrassment.
“Right now?” she asks in a low voice.
“I apologize,” Cal directs to the apron-clad man waiting beside the table expectantly. “There’s somewhere else we need to be.”
He tosses a twenty dollar bill on the table top and stands up, extending his hand to Dana. She takes it and follows him out of the restaurant, choosing to trust him enough not to ask where they’re going.
_
When Cal pulls the front door of O’Blarney’s open, smoke seeps out and curls into the evening air. She walks in and is greeted by all the trappings of a dive bar: pool tables, dart boards, worn down pinball machines, and the saturated stink of cigarettes and hops. The floor is covered in patchy green carpet and the man behind the bar looks like he’s ready to pose for a mugshot.
Cal directs her to a table and then goes to the bar to get them drinks, returning with a beer for him and a cocktail for her. She takes an experimental sip and smiles with pleasant surprise.
“Gin and tonic?” she asks, and he bobs his head.
“That’s what you used to drink when we met,” he says, scooting his chair closer to hers.
She looks around at the clientele. The bar is relatively busy for a Monday evening, and most of the patrons have the comfortable posture of regulars. A swarthy man in a camo jacket leers at her, and Cal slings his arm over the back of her chair posessively.
“So, what are we recreating?” she asks, taking another sip.
“This is where we met,” he tells her fondly, and her eyebrows lift in surprise.
“Here?”
Cal nods, clearly enjoying her reaction.
“Tell me,” she encourages him, touching his knee lightly for emphasis. He covers her hand with his and holds it there, and she feels a little flutter of excitement.
“I used to come here all the time,” he begins. “Me and my buddy Ryan would come almost every night after work to play pool or just talk. I started seeing you come in every once in a while with another regular, this woman Erin, do you remember her?”
“Erin?” Dana repeats. “I don’t think so.”
“Anyway, you were here with Erin one night and I decided to make my move.” Dana smiles at him and he shakes his head dismissively. “I totally struck out. I think I asked you if you were new to the area or some cliche bullshit, and you pretty much brushed me off. But I saw you again a couple weeks later so I tried just introducing myself, and you were polite but clearly not interested.”
“Ouch,” Dana says with a sympathetic pout.
“I know, it was rough. But there was just something about you. I don’t know, it just felt like I needed to know you, so I decided to go big—”
“Oh, no,” Dana groans, but she’s smiling around her anguished expression and Cal laughs.
“I know, I had no idea who I was dealing with. And Ryan was a horrible influence. He got me all hyped up on this “Say Anything” style gesture that would show you that I was worth giving a chance. And of course I got totally hammered first, for courage.”
“Oh, Cal,” Dana says, pressing one hand to her cheek. “You did something ridiculous, didn’t you?”
“I got up on that stage,” he says, pointing to a small elevated platform in the corner of the room, “even though it was not karaoke night, and I, uh—I sang you a song.”
“You didn’t.”
“Oh, I did. Very off key. But the bartender was kind enough to play the song so I had some accompaniment.”
“What was the song?” she asks hesitantly.
Cal clears his throat, closes his eyes, and sings, “Hands, touching hands. Reaching out. Touching me, touching youuuuu.”
“You’re joking,” Dana says flatly, and he opens his eyes and looks at her.
“Sweet Caroline, bah bah bah. Good times never seemed so good,” he croons creakily.
A genuine grin stretches across her face, and Cal elbows her in encouragement.
“So good, so good, so good,” she completes softly.
“I’ve been inclined,” he says in a whisper as he leans in, “to believe they never would.”
She accepts his kiss, returning it with a few soft smooches befitting a public setting. He pulls away, eyeing her with nothing short of adoration, and she finds herself feeling quite happy.
“And I went for that?” she questions cheekily.
“Absolutely not,” he answers, and she laughs. “By the time I stumbled off the stage you were gone. But I guess it did make some kind of impression, because about a week later Ryan and I were sitting over there shooting the shit,” he says with a thumb hitched toward a table near the wall, “and the waitress brought a drink over courtesy of a mystery woman at the bar.”
Dana makes a face, impressed with her own forwardness.
“And the rest is history?” she asks, and Cal bobs his head side to side.
“Somewhat. We stayed up all night talking, and you actually overslept and missed an interview,” he explains.
“What for?” she asks.
“The FBI, of all things. You said you weren’t totally sold on it being the right path for you, and when you woke up and realized you’d missed it, you decided it was fate.”
“Fate?” she repeats incredulously. Cal shrugs.
“Your words, not mine.”
“Hm,” she says, pondering.
She does remember the call from the FBI and setting up an interview. Her father was incensed that she was even considering it.
“Tell me about when you met my dad,” she asks, her voice suddenly tight.
“Oof,” Cal says with a grimace, and Dana mirrors it. “It was a little bit rough. He asked me about my family and where I’m from, which didn’t set us off on a great foot.”
“You lost your parents young,” she says, and he realizes she doesn’t remember the details.
“I never even met my dad,” he tells her, and her hand slides sympathetically back over his knee. “My mom was a junkie, and she OD’d when I was thirteen. I was in and out of foster care until I turned eighteen and joined the army.”
“I’m sure Dad liked that, though?” she says hopefully.
“Yes, once I was able to get that far and tell him about some of my accomplishments, he came around a little. But then I got you pregnant, and we weren’t married, and that knocked me down quite a few pegs.”
“Would it be wrong to say that I’m glad I don’t remember having to tell him that?” she asks with a pained smile.
“I only wish I were so lucky,” he replies, and they sit there for a moment, sharing smiles and affectionate glances. Cal blinks and shakes his head a little as though suddenly dazed.
“What?”
“I just got the most intense sensation of deja vu,” he says. “It happens to me a lot, actually.”
“Perhaps we’re living in an alternate universe,” she suggests, and he eyes her skeptically before he checks his watch.
“It’s almost eight, we better go get those rugrats to bed,” he says, and they stand, settling the bill before they walk out of the bar arm in arm.
-
After washing her face and pulling on an oversized sleep shirt, Dana turns down the guest bed and slides under the covers.
She thinks about her date with Cal, about her appointment with Michelle tomorrow, about Abby attending summer camp in a couple weeks when school gets out. She thinks about how grounded she’s beginning to feel, though the edges may always be fuzzy, and contentment washes through her body as she relaxes into the bed.
From down the hall, she hears a persistent murmur, like someone is talking. There is no TV in the master bedroom, and it almost sounds like maybe Cal is on the phone. She rises from the bed and creeps quietly down the hall, straining her ears. As she nears the bedroom door she recognizes that the sound is music, and she knocks gently.
“Yeah,” Cal says quietly. “You can come in.”
She pushes the door open and spots him sitting in an armchair near the window. He’s still wearing his slacks and dress shirt, his loosened tie hanging limply around his neck. He’s slumped down in the chair, his long legs extended before him and his elbows propped on the armrests, fingers steepled under his chin. His eyes are slightly swollen, his mouth set. He looks miserable.
Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good. I’ve been inclined to believe they never would.
She follows the sound to a small boombox on the dresser, then looks back to Cal.
“Are you okay?” she asks gently, still standing in the doorway.
He nods, then sniffs, and his jaw jerks to the side.
Dana enters the room, pushing the door closed behind her, and approaches him. He watches her with an anguished expression as she kneels down on the floor beside the chair, resting one hand on his knee.
“What’s wrong?” she asks, surprised that he’s not feeling the same buoyant optimism after their date.
Cal shakes his head solemnly, then reaches out and pushes her hair behind her ear.
“I don’t want to put my shit on you, Dana. Don’t worry about it,” he says, then attempts a smile.
“You’re not putting anything on me,” she says. “Please, tell me what happened.”
His watery smile widens, and her heart aches.
“Nothing happened, mija. We had a great night. It was a great birthday. It’s just hard sometimes, you know?”
She nods. She does know.
“I’m sorry,” she says, and he closes his eyes and grimaces.
“Please stop saying that,” he whispers.
She has the impulse to apologize again, so she sucks her bottom lip between her teeth. She thinks about the man from her dreams, how he feels so close in her mind and yet she can’t reach him. She thinks that maybe that’s how it is for Cal: she’s right here, but she’s also eight years away.
She shuffles forward on her knees, navigating around one of his legs until she’s positioned between them, her hands resting on the tops of his thighs. Cal opens his eyes and watches her, his jaw twitching. Dana swallows, tamping down the butterflies erupting in her belly as she slides her hands up to his hips. He tenses, but doesn’t move. His breathing is shallow, coming out in urgent little puffs. She hooks her fingers under the waist of his slacks and meets his eye.
“Let’s go to bed,” she says huskily, and he shifts a little in his seat.
“Are you sure?” he asks, but she can already see him responding in her periphery. She knows how much he wants her, and she wants to want him too. She wants to feel the way she feels in her dreams: seen, adored, worshiped.
She nods.
He rises slowly from the chair and she stands, wrapping her arms around his waist as he cradles her face in his hands. And she does feel adored by him, she has since the day she came home. She just wasn’t ready to accept it.
And when I hurt, hurting runs off my shoulders. How can I hurt when holding you?
He walks her backwards toward the bed, lays her down gently, touches her like she is the most precious thing on earth. He worships her, he loves her, he makes her come.
And all the while she is thinking. Thinking of him—he. His hands on her hips and his mouth on her ear, and the way his body fits into hers like a missing piece of a puzzle.
She sleeps in the master bedroom, Cal wrapped around her like a vine. Awash in dopamine and oxytocin, she prays that she won’t always long for her dreams.
-
She flexes her hips forward and back, her slick lips sliding over his shaft as he kisses her sweetly. She wants him, and she feels ready—so ready. She feels the press of his head against her opening and she arches her back, angling herself just right, and he begins to slide into her. There is a stretch, a sting, and she gasps a little even as she’s still taking him deeper, wanting more of him. They stay still for moments, panting against each other’s mouths, until he sits up and takes her face in his hands. His kisses grow urgent, needy, and she rises up halfway, falling back down with a little whimper. He moans, his hips jumping off the bed, trying to get more of her. She’s never felt so wanted in her entire life.
“Fuck, Scully. I love you,” he groans, and she feels herself rising, gathering, melting into him. Becoming one.

Relief & Recovery: Intestinal Obstruction Treatment
Tumblr media
Your child may suffer from many diseases and intestinal obstructionis one of them that needs immediate medical attention.The pediatric doctor treating your child can determine the presence and extent of any blockages.
Bowel obstruction may be regarded as an emergency needing urgent care if the blockage is severe. The most effective course of intestinal obstruction treatment in Siliguri for clearing the blockages is often surgery.
What Is Intestinal Blockage In Infants?
A blocking of substances in the intestinal lumen, which includes the colon and small intestine, is known as intestinal obstruction.
Intestinal blockage may be caused by a variety of factors, including diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, hernias, colon cancer, and fibrous bands of tissue that get lodged in the abdomen after surgery.
Over time, chemicals in a stagnant intestinal lumen caused by intestinal blockage provide an environment that bacteria may assault, resulting in a host of grave issues, including intestinal necrosis and even death.
Intussusceptions are the most prevalent cause of intestinal blockage in children under three years old. Because children's digestive systems are still developing, if they have a blockage in their intestines, they should be sent to the hospital right away so that physicians may treat it and prevent further complications.
Bowel Obstruction Types
Bowel blockages are categorised by medical professionals according to which intestine they affect:
Obstruction of the small intestine: About 80% of blockages occur in the small intestine. On one end, it joins your stomach, and on the other, it joins your big intestine. Your small intestine breaks down food and takes in water and nutrients from it, in addition to transporting food and liquids to your big intestine.
Large bowel obstruction: The colon and the rectum are parts of your large intestine. It carries on the small intestine's first stage of nutrition absorption. Moreover, it turns food and water into excrement that passes for stool. Approximately 20% of intestinal blockages are caused by large bowel obstructions.
Identification Of Intestinal Obstruction Treatment In Children
Intestinal blockage is diagnosed using the following tests and procedures:
Physical Examination
Your doctor will question your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical examination to evaluate your condition. If you have a lump in your belly, are swollen or sore, or both, the doctor may suggest intestinal blockage. He or she may also listen for bowel noises using a stethoscope.
X-ray
An abdominal X-ray may be recommended by your doctor in order to confirm the diagnosis of intestinal blockage. However, ordinary X-rays are not always able to detect intestinal blockages.
Ultrasound
When a kid has an intestinal blockage, ultrasonography is often the recommended imaging modality. An ultrasound of a child with an intussusceptions usually reveals a "bull's-eye," which is the intestine coiled within the gut.
Barium Or Air Enema
A barium or air enema enables improved colonoscopy imaging. For certain suspected blockage reasons, this may be the course of action. The doctor will use the rectum to introduce liquid or air barium into the colon during the operation. An air or barium enema may effectively cure a child's intussusception, negating the need for further care.
CT, Or Computerised Tomography
Cross-sectional pictures are created during a computed tomography (CT) scan by combining a number of X-ray images obtained at various angles. Compared to a typical X-ray, these pictures are more detailed and are more likely to reveal an intestinal blockage.
Consult with your pediatric surgeon for the best intestinal obstruction treatment in Siliguri to get help if your child is experiencing signs of a bowel blockage. People tend to wait out discomfort, believing that seeking medical attention would be overreacting.

What are the different technologies used for medical imaging
Medical imaging is an essential component of modern healthcare, allowing healthcare professionals to visualize the internal structures of the body for diagnostic and treatment purposes. There are several technologies used for medical imaging, each with its own advantages and applications. Here are some of the most common ones:
X-ray Imaging (Radiography): X-ray imaging is one of the oldest and most widely used medical imaging techniques. It uses ionizing radiation to produce images of bones and certain soft tissues. X-rays are commonly used to detect fractures, tumors, infections, and other abnormalities. Digital radiography has largely replaced traditional film-based X-rays, offering faster image acquisition and easier storage and sharing of images.
Computed Tomography (CT): CT scanning combines X-ray images taken from multiple angles to create cross-sectional images of the body. It provides detailed images of bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues. CT scans are used for diagnosing conditions such as tumors, cardiovascular disease, traumatic injuries, and internal bleeding. Advanced CT technology includes multi-detector CT (MDCT) and cone beam CT (CBCT), which offer improved image quality and faster scanning times.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body's internal structures. It is particularly useful for imaging soft tissues like the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and organs such as the heart and liver. MRI is valuable for diagnosing conditions such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, joint disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Functional MRI (fMRI) can even map brain activity.
Ultrasound Imaging: Ultrasound imaging, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the body's organs and tissues. It is safe and non-invasive, making it suitable for monitoring fetal development during pregnancy and diagnosing conditions affecting the abdomen, pelvis, thyroid, heart, and blood vessels. Doppler ultrasound can assess blood flow and detect vascular abnormalities.
Nuclear Medicine Imaging: Nuclear medicine imaging involves the administration of radioactive substances (radiopharmaceuticals) that emit gamma rays, which are detected by specialized cameras to create images of the body's organs and physiological processes. Techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are used for diagnosing cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders, and evaluating organ function.
Fluoroscopy: Fluoroscopy is a real-time imaging technique that uses X-rays to visualize moving structures within the body, such as the digestive tract, blood vessels, and joints. It is commonly used during procedures such as barium swallow studies, angiography, and orthopedic surgeries to guide the placement of instruments and monitor treatment progress.
These are just a few examples of the diverse range of technologies used for medical imaging. Each imaging modality has its own strengths, limitations, and clinical applications, and healthcare professionals select the most appropriate technique based on the patient's condition and the information needed for diagnosis and treatment.

Track 19: Gastrointestinal Radiology
Tumblr media
Introduction:
Welcome to the fascinating realm of gastrointestinal radiology, where technology meets anatomy to unlock the mysteries of the digestive system. In this blog, we'll embark on a journey through the world of gastrointestinal radiology, exploring its significance, techniques, and contributions to modern medicine.
Understanding Gastrointestinal Radiology:
Gastrointestinal radiology is a specialized field within radiology that focuses on imaging techniques to diagnose and treat disorders of the digestive tract. The gastrointestinal tract, comprising the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and associated organs, plays a crucial role in digestion and nutrient absorption. Radiological imaging provides invaluable insights into the structure, function, and pathology of these vital organs.
Techniques in Gastrointestinal Radiology:
Several imaging modalities are employed in gastrointestinal radiology, each offering unique advantages depending on the clinical scenario:
X-ray Radiography: Conventional X-rays are often the initial imaging modality used to evaluate gastrointestinal conditions. Barium studies, such as barium swallow, barium enema, and upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, involve the ingestion or administration of barium contrast to highlight the anatomy and detect abnormalities.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: CT scans utilize X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the gastrointestinal tract. CT scans are particularly useful in detecting conditions like bowel obstruction, inflammation, and cancer, offering high-resolution images for precise diagnosis.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI employs magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of soft tissues within the gastrointestinal tract. MR enterography is a specialized MRI technique used to assess inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn's disease, and other gastrointestinal disorders without radiation exposure.
Endoscopic Techniques: Endoscopy involves the insertion of a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) into the digestive tract for direct visualization and diagnosis. Advanced endoscopic techniques, such as endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), allow for both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Clinical Applications:
Gastrointestinal radiology plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of various gastrointestinal conditions, including:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Imaging techniques like CT enterography and MRI enterography are valuable tools for assessing disease activity, monitoring complications, and guiding treatment in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Gastrointestinal Malignancies: Radiological imaging aids in the detection, staging, and surveillance of gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
Gastrointestinal Bleeding: Radiological studies, such as angiography and tagged red blood cell scans, help localize and diagnose sources of gastrointestinal bleeding, facilitating timely intervention and management.
Gastrointestinal Radiology type
Gastrointestinal radiology is a specialized branch of radiology focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system using various imaging techniques. These techniques are instrumental in visualizing the anatomy, detecting abnormalities, and guiding therapeutic interventions within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Gastrointestinal radiologists work closely with gastroenterologists and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive patient care. Some common types of gastrointestinal radiology include:
X-ray Radiography: Traditional X-ray imaging is often the first-line modality for evaluating gastrointestinal conditions. Barium studies involve the ingestion or administration of barium contrast material, allowing radiologists to visualize the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon. Barium swallow, barium meal, and barium enema are common types of X-ray studies used to detect structural abnormalities, such as strictures, ulcers, and tumors.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: CT scans provide detailed cross-sectional images of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding structures. CT imaging is valuable for diagnosing conditions such as bowel obstruction, perforation, diverticulitis, and abdominal trauma. CT enterography, a specialized CT technique, is used to evaluate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and small bowel disorders.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce high-resolution images of the gastrointestinal system without ionizing radiation. MR enterography is particularly useful for assessing inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as detecting tumors and evaluating liver and pancreatic disorders.
Endoscopic Techniques: Endoscopy involves the insertion of a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) into the GI tract to visualize the mucosal lining and perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) combines endoscopy with ultrasound imaging to evaluate lesions in the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, and rectum. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used to diagnose and treat bile duct and pancreatic duct disorders.
Nuclear Medicine Imaging: Nuclear medicine techniques, such as gastrointestinal bleeding scans (tagged red blood cell scans) and hepatobiliary scans, help diagnose conditions like gastrointestinal bleeding, liver disease, and biliary obstruction.
Fluoroscopy: Fluoroscopic studies, such as upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) and small bowel follow-through (SBFT), involve real-time X-ray imaging to assess the function and motility of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
Each type of gastrointestinal radiology has its advantages and indications based on the clinical scenario, patient history, and suspected pathology. By utilizing these imaging modalities, healthcare providers can accurately diagnose gastrointestinal disorders and formulate appropriate treatment plans to optimize patient outcomes.
Conclusion:
Gastrointestinal radiology is an indispensable component of modern healthcare, providing clinicians with vital information for diagnosing and treating a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders. By harnessing the power of advanced imaging techniques, radiologists and gastroenterologists collaborate to improve patient outcomes and enhance the quality of care. As technology continues to evolve, the future of gastrointestinal radiology holds promise for further innovations and advancements in diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic interventions.

It’s been a long day. Today was a scan day for me. The appointment I had to get my IV in, and the checkin for the CT scan stuff were scheduled at the same time. I couldn’t get the infusion people to do it earlier. So, they basically came for me at the same time. The CT scan people just immediately handed me the barium contrast. I chose the mocha one this time. Then they handed me to infusion to get the IV in with an ultrasound. They decided to try my right arm this time. They’ve been using one area on my left arm. They managed to find a vein, but it was painful at first. She added a ton of tape to keep it in place. I have very loose skin. Once it was set, the bone scan person came in and did their injection through it. I was then told I needed to drink most of the contrast, and the CT scan would be at 12:30pm. I waited a while in the waiting room, then they called me back for the CT scan. They checked out my IV first. There was something wrong with it. There wasn’t any blood recall (?), and it was painful every time they flushed it. The lady from infusion was called back to take a look. She unkinked it and it seemed to work. This all took about 20 minutes. They decided to go slower with the IV contrast than usual. So, that took more time during the CT scan. It all took so long that I couldn’t have a break for lunch like usual. One of the CT scan people gave me a snack pack to keep me going if I need it. It was nice. Then I had the full bone scan at 1:30pm. That at least was on time and nothing bad or different happened. By the time I finally finished that, I was really hungry. A little while later (after walking a while), we went to It’s Greek To Me. I got a gyro without vegetables and light on tzatziki sauce. It comes with fries and I got root beer as a drink. It was so nice to have food again. It was really messy, though. The grease/sauce dribbled onto my coat and made a nice long streak down the front. I’m laundering it now, but it surprised me and I’m not used to washing my coat. We finally got home at around 5pm. I’m nervous that my mets have spread to my liver and lungs. It’ll show up on the CT scan if that’s the case. Hopefully, it’s not in my lungs and liver, or anywhere else in there. Hopefully, the full bone scan doesn’t show progression.

Digital Pathology: An Effective Tool for Cancer Research and Diagnosis
The process of scanning normal glass slides and digitally stitching together a number of pictures to form a single, complete image is known as "whole-slide imaging" in the field of digital pathology. which matches the data on the glass slide. In order to provide pathologists with a comprehensive picture of the patient's specific cancer, this virtual image is coupled with relevant clinical data. Then, pathologists can conduct additional diagnostic procedures, such as image analysis studies that cannot be done on conventional glass slides.
Every cancer patient's therapy must begin with an accurate, timely cancer diagnosis. Using tumor cells mounted on glass slides and examined under a microscope, traditional pathology services are carried out. Although the diagnosis is based on the reviewing pathologist's knowledge and experience, it is subjective. If a second opinion is required, sharing pathologic photos is likewise a challenging and time-consuming process.

Research on AI for cancer imaging
Malignant imaging tests are used by doctors to determine a variety of issues, such as: Is the lump cancer or healthy? How quickly is cancer growing if it is? How far did it get? Is it returning after treatment? According to studies, AI may increase the reliability, speed, and accuracy of medical professionals' responses.
Scientists have developed AI systems to aid with breast cancer screening tests and other sorts of cancer screening procedures. Mammogram interpretation has been aided by AI-based computer algorithms for the past 20 years, but the field of study is expanding quickly.
Tumblr media
Diagnostic imaging tests
Depending on where the cancer is located in the body, there are numerous imaging modalities that can be used to detect it.
A barium swallow, often known as a barium enema, is a procedure that can be used to find malignant alterations in the throat or oesophagus. Oral barium solution is consumed during this treatment, and X-rays are also taken. The colon and rectum can also be seen by administering a barium enema. Before taking X-rays, your doctor will administer the solution using a small tube. Bone scan: A tiny quantity of radioactive dye may be intravenously administered to help detect cancer that has spread to the bone before nuclear imaging is used to study the bone on a cellular level for malignant alterations.
One of the most used imaging techniques for the identification of cancer is the computed tomography (CT) scan. CT scans offer detailed images that can be used to locate and diagnose cancer.
Using a DEXA (dual-energy Xray absorptiometry) scan, doctors can assess your total bone health and function by measuring your bone mineral density. Radiofrequency waves are used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to produce images of your interior organs. MRIs are widely utilised in the diagnosis of cancer because they assist your medical team in identifying malignant tissue.
Mammography: A low-dose X-ray is used to make images of your breast tissue, enabling your doctor to see any anomalies. Mammograms are used to identify breast cancer.
Nuclear medicine imaging uses a tiny amount of radioactive dye that is given orally, intravenously, or inhaled while a camera captures precise pictures of interior organs. Cancers of the brain, breast, bladder, kidney, thyroid, liver, lung, and bone can all be found with this imaging technique.
Ultrasound: Using high-frequency sound waves to create images of your interior organs, ultrasounds are frequently used to help diagnose cancer. Through these procedures, your doctor may see inside your body in real time and record organ activity and function.
screening for cancer diagnosis
When cancer is discovered when it is most treatable, there is typically the best opportunity for a cure. Talk to your doctor about the various cancer tests that might be appropriate for you in light of this.
Studies show that in the case of some malignancies, early cancer identification using screening measures can save lives. Only individuals with a higher risk should get screened for other cancers.
Cancer screening recommendations and guidelines are available from numerous medical organisations and patient advocacy groups. Together, you may decide what is best for you based on your own cancer risk factors after reviewing the various criteria with your doctor.

Contrast Media/Contrast Agents Market Worldwide Industry Analysis And New Market Opportunities Explored, Forecast To 2031
Tumblr media
Market Overview
The contrast media/contrast agents market was valued at USD 5.1 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to USD 7.3 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.
A contrast agent referred to as a contrast medium, is a substance used to increase the contrast of structures of fluids in the body during medical imaging. Contrast agents improve the visibility of the targeted tissues, structures or blood vessels. Contrast agents alter or absorb external electromagnetism or ultrasound, which further emits radiation themselves. Barium-based contrast media, iodinated contrast media, gadolinium-based contrast media, and microbubble contrast media are commonly used contrast agents during MRI and ultrasound. The rising prevalence of cancer, neurological and cardiovascular diseases, growing partnerships and acquisitions among players to launch new products, and emerging innovations in contrast media are some of the factors likely to boost the global contrast media market during the projection period.
View Detailed Report Description: https://www.globalinsightservices.com/reports/contrast-media-contrast-agent-market/
Market Dynamics
The growing approval of contrast agents is propelling the growth of the contrast media market. The increasing global prevalence of chronic diseases has resulted in a significant increase in the demand for diagnostic imaging procedures and, in turn, contrast media. The rising demand for imaging procedures has resulted in extensive R&D by contrast media manufacturers to launch novel products in the market and to get the contrast media approved in new indications. For example, in 2021, Bracco received US FDA approval for the 20-vial pack configuration of Lumason, which is an ultrasound contrast agent.
Similarly, in the upcoming years, competition is anticipated to intensify greatly in the contrast media market owing to the patent expiry of branded contrast media products. This will pave the way for the entry of generic counterparts, which are relatively lower-priced as compared to commercially available branded agents. In developing countries, APIs are manufactured locally, which brings the overall production costs of manufacturing contrasts agents down. So, the patent expiry of various branded products and decreasing costs of manufacturing contrast agents are likely to offer lucrative opportunities for generic players.
The key factor hindering the market growth is the dearth of trained professionals. A high degree of technical skill and expertise is essential to handle advanced and sophisticated diagnostic imaging systems. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, radiology technicians may witness employment growth of about 7% between 2019 and 2029. Although this is significant, the dearth of specialists and radiologists will hinder the market growth.

Ct scan centre in Delhi
It is a commonly used diagnostic intervention to visualize the hard tissues of the body. It is a radiological imaging technique performed by radiologists that provides a combination of a series of X-ray images of the body.which are further processed by computer-aided devices to create cross-sectional images of bones and soft tissues in the body. It is a very comprehensive assessment that helps healthcare professionals make an accurate diagnosis of the disease. It is mostly used by doctors for cancer screening, staging and follow-up. CT scans are also popular for use as an aid during biopsy and surgical procedures.
Types of CT Scan High-resolution CT scan): This scan has high resolution and a high level of imaging accuracy. It is mostly used to diagnose lung diseases. Helical or spiral CT scan): This type of scan is recommended to diagnose heart and cardiovascular diseases. In this type of scan, the X-ray beam sweeps across the organ from different angles and provides detailed images. Calcium deposits within the coronary arteries can be assessed with this scan. Ultrafast CT scan (electron beam CT scan): This type of CT scan creates images that move quickly, helping to visualize a "film". It helps to study the chambers and valves of the heart. This scan is also used to check the condition of the heart. This is the most commonly used scanning method. Computed tomographic angiography scan (commonly called a CTA scan): Angiography, also known as arteriography, provides detailed pictures of the blood vessels. Combined positron emission tomography and CT (PET/CT scan): This is a combination of CT and positron emission tomography techniques and is usually called PET/CT. This combined technology provides detailed anatomy and also determines cell function and metabolism which is a very important tool for cancer diagnosis and treatment. This pairing technique is also used to screen for conditions such as epilepsy.
Points to remember before you are considering a CT scan
Exposure to Radiation - A CT scan is similar to an X-ray in that the patient is exposed to harmful ionizing radiation. But the amount of radiation is much higher than basic X-ray exposure because CT takes many detailed pictures to provide a clear picture. Various studies have shown that the very low doses of ionizing radiation used in CT scans lead to long-term effects, and that exposure to higher doses can significantly increase the potential risk of cancer).These potential disadvantages of CT scanning are overlooked because there are factors that may be beneficial in early disease detection. Therefore, radiologists use the best doses of radiation to obtain the detailed reports required for the study. Technological advances are also helping to develop new CT scan machines that require less radiation.
Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women - The ionizing radiation used by CT scanning has not been proven to be harmful to the unborn fetus, but CT scanning is not recommended for pregnant patients. Therefore, the radiologist confirms whether the female patient is pregnant or not before the test to do.For women who are breastfeeding, barium used for irradiation is not expected to enter the bloodstream and is unlikely to become part of the breast milk. Although it has been noted that less than 1% of solutions based on iodine can enter breast milk. This is unlikely to have any adverse effects on the baby, but radiologists still advise mothers to avoid breastfeeding for 24 to 48 hours after a CT test.
Considerations in Children
The adverse effects of CT scanning on children are evaluated and various guidelines are prescribed. These guidelines include:
In children a CT scan is only done when there is no other option Ultrasound and MRI techniques are preferred The radiation level is adjusted based on the child's weight The size of the scanning area is small Scan resolution is also used if high resolution images are not required

Submit your research Paper: Track 12: Gastroenterology Nursing 11th Nursing, Healthcare Management, and Patient Safety Conference on November 15-17, 2022 in San Francisco, USA
Tumblr media
The area of medicine dedicated to problems of the digestive system is called gastroenterology. This specialty focuses on illnesses that affect the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the organs from the mouth into the oesophagus along the alimentary canal. These medical professionals are known as gastroenterologists. They typically have eight years of pre-medical and medical education under their belts, a year-long internship (if it is not included in the residency), three years of internal medicine residency, and three years of gastroenterology fellowship. Colonoscopy, Esophago Gastroduod Enoscopy (EGD), Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and liver biopsy are among the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures carried out by gastroenterologists. Some gastrointestinal residents will finish a "fourth-year" in transplant hepatology, advanced interventional endoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease, motility, or other disciplines, even though this is frequently their seventh year of graduate medical education.
Advanced endoscopy, often known as interventional or surgical endoscopy, is a branch of gastroenterology that specializes in the use of cutting-edge endoscopic methods to treat gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic diseases. Advanced endoscopic techniques, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound-guided diagnostic and interventional procedures, and advanced resection techniques, such as endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection, are typically taught in a second year of rigorous training for interventional gastroenterologists. There are also some skilled endoscopists that conduct endoscopic bariatric treatments.
A meeting with special insights and worldwide speakers to explore the most recent research and trends. Register to talk at the CME/CPD accredited 11th World Nursing, Healthcare Management, and Patient Safety Conference, which will take place November 15-17, 2022 in San Francisco, USA, and demonstrate your skills to a global audience.

Nurse in gastroenterology
A nurse who specializes in treating patients with diseases, problems, and injuries of the digestive tract is known as a gastroenterology nurse. Constipation, diarrhea, reflux, ulcers, food allergies, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, and rectal cancer are among the conditions that nurses in this specialty frequently treat. Patients with diseases or problems of the digestive system or gastrointestinal tract are treated by a gastroenterology or endoscopy nurse.
Digestive nursing In the specialty practice area of gastroenterology nursing, nurses give care to patients who have known or suspected gastrointestinal issues and who are having diagnostic or therapeutic treatments. Because of new screening techniques and improved technology, this area of nursing has grown. What Do Nurses in Gastroenterology Do?
A gastroenterologist and a gastrointestinal nurse frequently go over a patient's medical history, symptoms, and vital signs when they first visit with them. In addition to taking samples, a gastroenterology nurse frequently conducts other diagnostic tests such x-rays, ultrasounds, and barium enemas. Endoscopy nurses will either perform or help with operations.
Being a gastroenterology nurse involves taking care of and treating patients with this specialty. As a gastroenterology nurse, you will frequently assist patients in understanding the various options available to them as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. Patients may also benefit from nutrition counselling and assistance with drug administration. A gastrointestinal nurse may also be requested to assist during surgical operations.
After gastrointestinal issues, long-term care may also be required. Nurses who specialize in gastroenterology assist patients in preparing for a life with digestive issues. They might give suggestions on what to eat and what not to eat, for example, or how to deal with the symptoms of their diseases.
Diseases And Conditions Involved In Gastroenterology: In general, gastroenterology deals with conditions affecting the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. This field of study focuses on the physiological processes of food digestion, absorption, and excretion as well as the operation of the entire digestive system, including the movement of food through the digestive tract.
It encompasses the medicinal and surgical management of conditions such irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), pancreatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract illness, and colon polyps. Tips for Gastroenterology
Digestive issues can range from embarrassing gas to severe heartburn, and they can affect everyone occasionally. The good news is that many of your problems have straightforward solutions. Discover the source of your discomfort, how to avoid and treat digestive issues, what queries to ask your pharmacist, and when to visit a doctor.
Gastrointestinal system Although it may appear that digestion takes place just in the stomach, it is a complex process that involves several organs. The digestive tract is made up of them all.
When you chew food, saliva in your mouth begins to break down the meal, which is where digestion occurs. Your chewed food travels to your oesophagus, a tube that joins your throat to your stomach, when you swallow. Food is forced down your oesophagus by muscles to a valve at the bottom, which opens to let food enter the stomach.
Stomach acids help break down food in your stomach. The food then enters the small intestine after that. There, the meal is further broken down by digestive secretions from numerous organs, including your pancreas and gallbladder, and nutrients are absorbed. You pass through your large intestine what's left. Water is absorbed in the large intestine. The rectum and anus are then used to expel the waste from your body.
What organs are treated by gastroenterologists?
Gastroenterology is the study of conditions affecting the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver as well as their normal function.
A primary care physician frequently refers patients to a gastroenterologist. If you have any signs of a digestive health condition or if you require a colon cancer test, you should consult a gastroenterologist.
In addition to other signs of COVID-19, such as fever, a dry cough, and shortness of breath, stomach upset may be a defining symptom. According to a recent study, 1 in 5 individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 experienced at least one gastrointestinal ailment, such as nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
Treatments: Gastroenterology is the study of conditions affecting the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver as well as their normal function.
A primary care physician frequently refers patients to a gastroenterologist. If you have any signs of a digestive health condition or if you require a colon cancer test, you should consult a gastroenterologist.
If you form a group of 10 or more people, you will all be eligible for further savings on the CME/CPD accredited 11th World Nursing, Healthcare Management, and Patient Safety Conference, which will be held in San Francisco, USA on November 15-17, 2022.

Vascular Ultrasound, Abdominal Ultrasound, as well as Sonohysterography: Restrictions
Abdominal ultrasonography, Sonohysterography and vascular ultrasound are three forms of ultrasound that are discussed in this article.
What do you mean by abdominal ultrasonography?
Abdominal ultrasonography may be used to look at a wide range of organs and disorders. To penetrate profoundly and provide pictures of big organs and areas of tissues, abdominal ultrasounds employ a transducer probe with a lower frequency as well as a broader footprint. The probe is then utilised straight on the abdomen once the gel has been administered. This examination is not painful, however, this might be unpleasant and necessitate the patient to have a filled bladder. Because it is reasonably secure, accurate, and non-invasive, abdominal ultrasonography is frequently used as the primary diagnostic technique.
Abdominal Ultrasound's Restrictions
Abdominal ultrasound scans, on the other hand, provide lower-resolution, less-clear pictures and are ineffective at capturing photographs of air-filled organs or those whose view is obscured by the colon, which also comprises air. In such cases, a CT scan, an MRI, or barium test is perhaps the most appropriate diagnostic instrument. Another drawback is that scanning considerably larger patients with a lot of tissue via which sound waves should traverse are more difficult since sound waves weaken as they travel through more tissue on their way to deep abdominal regions.
What do you mean by Vascular Ultrasound?
Vascular Ultrasound is utilized to assess the body's arteries, veins, as well as blood circulation. Ultrasound is used by vascular sonographers to identify plaque buildup, embolisms, blood clots, obstructions, and other disorders. The existence of blood clots in leg veins or major arm, or deep venous thrombosis, could be detected with vascular sonography. It enables health care professionals to identify whether patients are an excellent fit for angioplasty and other operations before undergoing them. Vascular ultrasonography is utilised for follow-up examination after artery bypass operation as well as other medical operations, often even in the operating theatre. Lastly, an inflated aneurysm or artery may be seen with this form of ultrasonography, which allows for a full examination of varicose veins.
Pediatric vascular ultrasonography pictures aid medical personnel in effectively inserting needles and catheters inside children's tiny blood arteries, reducing the danger of clot development and bleeding. They could also aid doctors in determining an artery-to-vein link in the instance of vascular abnormalities.
Vascular Ultrasound's Restrictions
The capacity of vascular sonography to acquire pictures of blood vessels deep within the smaller vessels or body at any place is restricted. To acquire good pictures of this kind of vessel MRI, a CT scan, or another specialist test might be required. Another drawback is that ultrasound waves might well be stopped from reaching areas where artery calcification has resulted from atherosclerosis. Ultrasound can't always tell the difference between a slightly congested vessel and one that's completely blocked. Lastly, an ultrasound technician and an interpreting physician with specialist expertise and skills in vascular ultrasonography are required for this examination.
What do you mean by Sonohysterography?
Sonohysterography is a kind of pelvic ultrasound technique that includes utilising a transvaginal device to examine the inside of a female's uterus. Polyps,  Fibroids, endometrial atrophy, malignant, scarring, lumps or lesions, as well as congenital issues can all cause irregular vaginal bleeding.
Sonohysterography's Restrictions
When a woman has a severe pelvic inflammatory illness, sonohysterography is typically not practicable, and it is not conducted during pregnancy. The treatment is commonly conducted one-week post menstruation to reduce the risk of infection and to examine the uterine lining or endometrium at this point in the menstrual cycle. For females with narrowing, and cervical stenosis, the surgery can be challenging to accomplish.
