Dose Optimization in Stone Evaluation: DOSE October 21st 2017 Chris Moore MD Associate Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine Yale University School of Medicine
Disclosures I am currently funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) under R18HS023778 Minimizing unnecessary irradiation from renal colic CT scans in the United States We are collaborating with Philips Healthcare on research regarding automated image recognition We have equipment loaned from GE and BK Medical for research collaborations 2 @yale_eus

Case 37 y.o. white male, no past medical history, presents with acute onset of right flank pain and vomiting. Urine is clear but dip shows hematuria. He is getting fluids, toradol, morphine, and zofran. Imaging?
Urinary Stone Disease Common: 1 in 11 people, increasing in U.S. and worldwide Recurrent: >50% will recur within 5y Is an ED dx: >1M dx per year; >2M visits per year for flank pain concern for renal colic Painful: worse than labor Expensive: ~$10B in annual costs Lots of CT: 70% of USD get CT Controversial: dx and management

DOSE Intervention 30
31
Emergency Medicine Perspective More concerned with time More concerned with bad things Less (but not unconcerned) with ultimate course as long as can be discharged safely Fighting cultural norm of all first time renal colic needs a CT Would rather not deal with incidental findings 32
First Time renal colic 33
First Time renal colic 34
Bad Things 35
Bad things Back pain or flank pain and no pyuria 36 Moore et al. Acad Emerg Med 2013;5:470-8.
Bad things 2.8% with BP/FP no pyuria 37 Moore et al. Acad Emerg Med 2013;5:470-8.
Incidental Findings Prevalence of 12.7% (95% CI 11.8-13.6%) 1 in 8 CT Renal Colic will have in incidental finding with follow-up imaging recommended

DOSE and Best Practice Guideline for Imaging Multi-specialty issue The evaluating clinician: 3 from ACEP The imaging specialist: 3 from ACR The interventionist: 3 from AUA 40
What is the optimal diagnostic imaging strategy for different types of patients presenting with pain suspected to be renal colic? I. First time kidney stone: What is the optimal diagnostic imaging strategy for a patient presenting with a first episode of suspected renal colic? II. Recurrent kidney stone: Should imaging differ for patients with recurrent kidney stone and suspected renal colic? II. Special Patient Populations: How should imaging differ in special populations (pregnant, pediatric, obese patients) with suspected renal colic? 41
