3 Introduction The following regional access criteria for primary referred radiology referrals have been developed from a number of sources, including the draft National Community Radiology Criteria (Nov 2013). These criteria have been developed to improve equity of access across the Midland Region. They are a minimum that should be provided and should be read in conjunction with the Prioritisation Methodology detailed in Appendix 2 (when we have redefined this in line with National guidelines). DHB s will advise local GP s where copies of these access criteria are available. We are unable to accept any patient referral for investigation without the required actions being completed and the results supplied with the referral. If your patient does not meet the criteria but you think that an investigation is warranted, please phone a DHB Radiologist for advice. If they advise an investigation please document their name as well as all clinical information on the referral form. Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Referrals The RANZCR considers that appropriately qualified Nurse Practitioners should be able to refer for diagnostic imaging testing within their particular clinical context as approved by the local radiation licensee. NPs are expected to apply the practice expectations for public protection set out in the Nurse Practitioner practice standard Competencies for the nurse practitioner scope of practice Page 3 of 31
4 GENERAL X-RAY Abdomen Standard indications for x-ray referral Diagnosis of constipation where patient history is unobtainable e.g. autism, special needs Follow up of diagnosed renal stones with a KUB x-ray Suspected renal tract stone use local pathway Referral for x-ray not typically indicated Acute abdomen: Discuss with acute surgical services or emergency services access points Vague central abdominal pain Suspected colorectal neoplasm (refer to colorectal cancer guidelines) Suspected constipation (other than in specific patient groups as above). Suspected abdominal masses refer to ultrasound Ankle Standard indications for x-ray referral Two of the below needed to qualify. The pain has been present for >4 weeks. The pain was sudden in onset and is severe and <4 weeks duration. There is pain or swelling where previous arthroplasty There is a palpable mass or deformity. There is limited ROM (range of movement). There is evidence of inflammatory arthritis. Known arthritis with symptoms meeting local criteria for surgical consideration (if has not been xrayed in the past 6 months) Referral for x-ray not typically indicated Suspected septic arthritis: refer for acute review Acute gout. Ankle Trauma Use Ottawa Ankle Rules Page 4 of 31
5 Chest Standard indications for x-ray referral The x-ray result will influence patient management. Follow up xray where abnormal x-ray related to infection or failure following treatment *take out Referral for x-ray not typically indicated Pneumonia doesn t require routine CXR follow up unless there are risk factors or red flags including age>50 years or age >40 years if smoker, suspicious radiologic findings on initial CXR or incomplete clinical resolution at 6 weeks (this is a guideline only and there may be local pathways which apply) Routine assessment of hypertension Routine monitoring of known pulmonary sarcoidosis Routine x-ray for asbestos exposure surveillance Follow-up of nodules detected on chest x-ray or CT other than where recommended by reporting or reviewing specialist (consider referral for respiratory specialist review) Initial investigation of heart murmur, unless signs of complications such as heart failure Routine follow-up of asymptomatic patients on amiodarone. Paediatric Chest Standard indications for x-ray referral Acute chest infection/sepsis consider acute referral to specialist as per local pathway Recurrent productive cough if resistant to treatment or additional clinical features i.e. pyrexia Wheeze with additional features such as fevers and localised crackles, chronic heart or respiratory disease and immunocompromised patients Suspected/inhalation foreign body.

Referral for x-ray not typically indicated Page 5 of 31
6 Suspected septic joint: refer for acute review Acute gout Hand/wrist Standard indications for x-ray referral Swelling confirmed on examination Deformity Strong history of Inflammatory symptoms >12 weeks with increased inflammatory markers +/- swelling +/- deformity Long (>1year) history of Inflammatory symptoms (without increased inflammatory markers or swelling or deformity) Pain with red flags Red flags include: Persistent deep pain unrelated to activity Night pain in the absence of obvious cause. Referral for x-ray not typically indicated Acute gout Suspected inflammatory arthritis <12 weeks with no significant inflammatory markers or swelling or deformity Guidance Dedicated wrist views do not typically provide additional information to single PA hand view. Where inflammatory arthritis is suspected consider requesting an AP feet x-ray as well.

18 Vascular Standard indications for ultrasound referral Pulsatile mass for investigation Suspected deep venous thrombosis (DVT) use local pathway Page 18 of 31
19 CT SCANNING CT Head Standard indications for CT referral Undiagnosed cognitive impairment with one or more high risk featuresage less than 60 rapid (i.e 1 or 2 months) unexplained decline in cognition or function recent and significant head trauma unexplained neurological symptoms (eg new onset of severe headache or seizures) History of cancer with high risk of intracranial metastases (particularly lung, breast, colon/pancreatic, genitourinary, melanoma, head and neck cancers and lymphoma). use of anticoagulants or history of bleeding disorder history of the combination of urinary incontinence, balance and gait disorder early in the coursed of dementia as may be found in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) any new localising sign (eg hemiparesis or a Babinsky reflex) unusual or atypical cognitive symptoms or presentation (eg progressive aphasia) gait disturbance Chronic Headache (lasting more than 3 months for more than 15 days per calendar month) with one or more of the following: new onset >50 yrs change in pattern of headaches with increase in frequency or severity aggravated by exertion or Valsalva associated with nausea and vomiting background systemic illness with cerebral complications or im=nvilvement; especially malignmancy (breats, lung, melanoma) Cognitive Decline The main reason for imaging is to identify and rule out pathologies other than Dementia of the Alzheimer s type and Vascular Dementia. A careful neurological screening examination is to be carried out including a brain CT scan, if there are one or more of the following in addition to cognitive decline (for example a MoCA Score of less than 26 or similar decline using validated assessment tools see initial cognitive assessment node): If a CT is indicated, clinician (GP or hospital doctor) to request via radiology as per local pathway agreements. Headache in Children Page 19 of 31
20 As per local pathway Page 20 of 31
21 Guidance While CT may be appropriate as part of the workup, initial discussion with a local relevant specialist is recommended for patients with: Focal neurological signs Notes Clinical circumstances determines urgency If patient is pregnant consider specialist opinion Additional Notes Cognitive Decline If you are unsure or there are unusual/atypical symptoms, or there is clinically significant immunosuppression, then seek advice through the advice line in your local information node CT Chest On recommendation by Radiologists from an Abnormal Chest Xray with suspected cancer reported. Required Actions Please enclose a copy of the report recommending further investigation with your referral Specialist referral should not be delayed whilst waiting for an investigation where there are red flag symptoms CT Abdomen On recommendation by Radiologists from an Abnormal Ultrasound or CT Colonography with suspected cancer reported. Required Actions Please enclose a copy of the report recommending further investigation with your referral Specialist referral should not be delayed whilst waiting for an investigation where there are red flag symptoms Page 21 of 31
22 CT KUB Referral for CT KUB is the preferred imaging investigation for: Non pregnant patients with renal colic Guidance Referral should be guided by your local pathway which may include Primary Options Consider renal ultrasound in younger or pregnant patients CT Colonography Use local pathway CT Sinus Referral for CT sinus not indicated unless there is local pathway which supports this, where there is failed medical management Page 22 of 31
23 MAMMOGRAPHY AND BREAST ULTRASOUND Mammography Please refer to local pathways which would supercede these guidelines Asymptomatic Women a mother or sister or daughter with pre-menopausal breast cancer or bi-lateral breast cancer, or a breast histology demonstrating an at risk lesion. Imaging to start 10 years before diagnosis of the youngest first degree relative, but not before 30 years. Alternating with BSA from 45 years. NOTE: MRI is advised if less than 30 years refer to specialist. a breast histology demonstrating an at risk lesion (for example,atypical hyperplasia If previous breast cancer annually. NB After 5 years can re-enter BSA Symptomatic Women If new breast symptom, not lactating or pregnant and any of the following: Palpable lump and no normal mammogram in the last year Bloody or serous nipple discharge 35 years and over (If under 35 refer for Ultrasound) New inversion of Nipple) Referral for Mammogram not typically indicated for: Breast pain without associated lumps or other symptoms Bilateral male breast enlargement Guidance If you are unsure please discuss with a radiologist Page 23 of 31
24 Page 24 of 31
25 Ultrasound Breast Women <35 years with symptoms as follows: Palpable lump and no normal mammogram in the last year Bloody or serous nipple discharge New inversion of Nipple) Men with unexplained or suspicious unilateral breast enlargement Axillary lymph node enlargement or suspected lymph node enlargement in the absence of obvious infectious cause. Referral for ultrasound not typically indicated Breast pain alone Bilateral male breast enlargement. Guidance Referral to local breast service for advice / assessment and multidisciplinary work up is preferable and where this is available locally would supersede these recommendations In the absence of access to breast clinic services patients over the age of 35 and all patients presenting with suspicious masses should be referred for mammography along with ultrasound as part of the initial work up. Pagets disease is not excluded with normal imaging. If clinical concern seek Surgical assessment. Page 25 of 31
26 Prioritisation Methodology The following methodology will be used by Midland DHB Radiology Departments. It is subject to the interpretation of clinical information in the referral and service capacity. Note that any procedure should only be requested where the results (either positive or negative) will alter the management of the patient s condition/will either confirm or eliminate significant disease from the differential diagnosis. URGENT: Priority description Where immediate treatment and management of acute condition is dependent on diagnosis: Timeframe Imaging takes place within 7 working days. High clinical probability of malignancy or serious inflammatory/infective condition. High clinical probability of fracture. Major functional impairment including uncontrolled pain. Risk of significant permanent damage to tissues or systems if diagnosis is delayed. SEMI-URGENT: Conditions where there is possibility of malignancy, serious inflammatory / infective condition, and complications or where imaging may affect short term management. Imaging takes place within 4 weeks. ROUTINE: Conditions with minor functional impairment and where imaging is unlikely to affect short term management, but likely to affect long term management. DECLINED: Imaging takes place within 6 weeks (key performance indicator measure) Referrals that meet the criteria but are unable to be offered within 4 months Referrals that do not meet the criteria Page 26 of 31
