Oncology Imaging

Feb

Overview

Oncology imaging uses CT MRI PET and ultrasound for staging and surveillance. It assesses tumor extent nodal involvement and metastases. Imaging guides biopsy radiation and surgical planning.

Staging and Response

Imaging determines stage and evaluates treatment response over time. Serial imaging helps assess tumor shrinkage progression or recurrence. Standardized criteria improve consistency in reporting.

Therapy Planning

Imaging supports radiation planning surgical resection and interventional therapies. Functional imaging can identify viable tumor and treatment targets. Multidisciplinary review integrates imaging into care decisions.

Surveillance

Post treatment surveillance uses modality specific protocols to detect recurrence early. Imaging intervals depend on tumor type stage and risk factors. Coordination with oncology ensures appropriate follow up.

Intensive Care Unit

Overview

The ICU delivers continuous monitoring advanced life support and multidisciplinary care for patients with organ failure or severe physiologic instability. Staffing includes intensivists critical care nurses and allied professionals.

Monitoring and Support

ICUs use invasive hemodynamic monitoring mechanical ventilation renal replacement therapy and vasoactive infusions to support failing organs. Protocolized care reduces complications.

Multidisciplinary Rounds

Daily rounds involve physicians nurses pharmacists respiratory therapists and nutritionists to coordinate complex care plans and goals of care discussions with families.

Infection Control and Safety

Strict infection prevention bundles and sedation weaning protocols minimize ventilator associated events and ICU acquired weakness. Family engagement supports recovery and decision making.
