Nuclear medicine and the emergency department patient: an illustrative case-based approach
Radiologists are familiar with the use of radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound in the acute clinical setting. However, there are some specific clinical scenarios which may be found in nuclear medicine imaging problem-solving tools. These clinical scenarios and imaging techniques are less frequent, and the referring clinician from the emergency department may not consider these alternatives. It is important for the radiologist to be aware of these techniques to be able to guide the clinician to use those tools, which may result in optimal patient care. In this article, we will discuss those nuclear medicine studies which have application in the setting of an emergency radiology practice.
