acute pancreatitis x ray

They both kept him overnight, IV, blood work, meds, and his vet did a rectal x-ray and abdominal x-ray with barium to look for obstruction. He found dirt/sand. My dog ate cat poop covered in dirt. He is at home now doing fine and I have him on a bland diet of canned white chicken and brown rice only. However, his lower abd/belly is a little distended and hard. Could the barium cause this?

My little girls has scoliosis which is very mild, she had 3 or 4 X-rays at about 5-6 months and a chest X-ray at 4 years, they say the scoliosis isn't getting worse, better infact, but, I recently read a report saying there is a link with childhood cancer and x-ray and haven't been able to get my mind off it. I have also read reports saying there is no link with low dose X-ray but don't know what to believe now. Am I worrying irrationally.

I took her to our vet and they did blood work and x-ray. The blood work showed acute pancreatitis. She was given IV fluids, Reglan for the vomiting, a B12 shot and an antibiotic and was not allowed anything to eat or drink for 24 hours other than licking on ice cubes every few hours. By the next day she was all perky and playing. The next day I started her on the vet's low fat food that they carry. She did well until today when out of nowhere she developed diarrhea and vomiting.

My chest x-ray findings were as follows: Heart size is within normal limits. There is questionable vague increased opacity in the right suprahilar region. The left lung is clear. No pleural effusion is identified. No acute osseous abnormality is seen. Impression: With the clinical history, the possiblility of early pneumonia is not excluded. Can you tell me whether the fact that there are questionable vague increased opacity means that there is a mass in my lung?

There are two types of pancreatitis: acute and chronic. From what you describe, it sounds like this is a case of chronic pancreatitis. You are definitely at risk of getting a bowel obstruction again which could shorten your life expectancy.

All other numbers were normal. X-ray showed nothing out of the norm, and the doctor thought perhaps it was just a bad tummy bug combined with my c-section scar tissue. He consulted with a specialist who suggested sending me for an ultrasound in case it was a gall bladder issue presenting in an unusual way. I'll have to wait a couple weeks for the ultrasound unfortunately, and am not sure how to proceed in the meantime.

Did they run any tests on you: labwork, catscan, x-ray, etc? Since your a nursing student, did you listen for bowel sounds? Have you been having normal bowel movements? Are you constipated? Please go back to the ER - go to a different hospital if possible and let me know how your doing! I have a daughter 28 years old, who became sick at 25 and remains so, with dilated bowels since 10/08 and a g-tube to drain stomach fluids. (We spent 120 days in the hospital).

ve had various tests done including ultrasonogram, CT scan of the abdomen and X-ray but all seem to be showing normal activity . However, the CE/CT scan shows enlargement of the gall bladder and the liver along with a small bulky appearance in the head region of the pancreas( with mild peripancreatic fat stranding in the region) . The doctors are just not able to point out the exact nature of the problem . I have taken treatment for Pancreatitis and Muscle spasms as well.

I received a letter from the Emergency Department a week after being treated for a fall. The letter stated that "Your chest x-ray obtained in the Emergency Department on May 24, 2012 revealed a nonspecific density projecting over the trachea on the lateral view of the chest. Although these occasionally are significant, it is most likely benign, and only requires a repeat x-ray and follow up exam.

Yes, it is possible for the CA 19-9 level to rise in cases of acute pancreatitis. Some studies estimate the incidence of elevated CA 19-9 at around 25% of cases of acute pancreatitis. Feel free to make additional posts to update us of further developments regarding your case. I'm particularly interested in how the abdominal CT scan results will turn out.

Hi, I have a history of pancreatitis, have had two acute attacks and and ERCP confirmed pancreatic duct stricture and a choledocochele. I have had a spincterotomy on the choledocochele and have been dealing with on and off pain for a few years. Lately though the pain is more in the upper left, under the ribs area than it has been in the past. Does the pancreas lay over that way? What else is located there and what could be the cause of the pain?

I recently got out of the hospital for an attack of acute pancreatitis. They did a cat scan, MRI and EDG and couldn't find the cause of my attack. The cat scan and MRI showed that I had multiple lymph nodes in my retroperitoneum. They were under 10mm on the cat scan but as large as 17mm on the MRI. I'm a 41 year old female and I don't have a history of alcohol abuse. I smoked for 25 years but I quit after having this attack.

If he swallowed a bone or chewed a stick and it splintered, would that show something in his x-ray? How should that be treated? Its the only thing I can think of at this point.

I have a dental appointment tomorrow and I know they may try to give me an x-ray. I'm 16 weeks now and this is my first pregnancy. I went to the dentist earlier this year and they didn't want to do an x-ray because I was in my 1st trimester. Is it really safe to have one done now?

I have a daughter who doesn't live with me and she has lice will it show up in an x-ray

my latest back x ray for some reason the dr's still want me taqking the pain killers saying that I must still be in alot of pain

I have a history of acute recurrent Pancreatitis over 10years long, with dual Sphincterotomies done 9 months ago that also resulted in a retroperitoneal small bowel perforation and ongoing frequent attacks of acute Pancreatitis. My ampulla goes into a diverticulum in the small bowel. A Triple phase CT Scan done today shows air in the intrahepatic radicals, and in the bile duct, which is dilated to 8.8 mms. There is also air in the Pancreatic Duct which is mildly dilated in the head 4.

Can a person develop chronic pancreatitis after having acute pancreatitis that resulted from having an ERCP? I have developed abdominal pain that radiates to my side and back that is relieved when I lean forward and worsens when I lean back. No nausea or vomiting, no fever. Should I follow up with my doctor? I had the acute pancreatitis around 2004. Thanks for your response.

People with CP often end up taking digestive enzymes to help digest food and they often are advised to eat very low fat and avoid alcohol and smoking. You can have flares of acute pancreatitis so always go to er if you feel it coming on.

I had my first attack of acute pancreatitis last week. It was a mild attack. I spent a couple of days in the hospital on IV. I'm feeling much better and haven't had another painful attack. However, I still seem to have soreness on my left side, but not in the same location as the pancreatitis pain. My stomach is also still bloated. My attack was 5 days ago. My question is; is it normal to have some residual soreness after acute pancreatitis?
