CONSENT FOR ‘WHOLE BODY SCAN’ USING ELECTRON BEAM CT

 

 

A Body scan at Colorado Heart Imaging involves 3 separate procedures:

·         The electron beam coronary artery scan (‘Heartscan’)

·         An electron beam high resolution low dose CT scan of the chest (‘Lungscan’) 

·         A screening electron beam CT scan of the abdomen.  A pulmonary function test (Spirometry) will usually be included.

 

 

1.) The coronary scan or Heartscan is recommended for middle-aged individuals for the very early detection of coronary disease. 

 

2.) The chest scan is especially recommended for smokers (over the age of 45 who have been smoking at least 10 years) or for those heavily exposed to lung carcinogens (passive smokers, asbestos, etc).  Most tiny nodules detected by this method will be benign and will often require follow-up scanning at least every 6 months for two years.  Larger nodules need follow-up by a physician.  Colorado Heart Imaging requires that the patient identify a physician who is willing to follow-up in case of positive findings. 

 

3.) Screening Electron Beam CT of the abdomen is being offered a various centers nationwide as a response to consumer interest in diagnosing unexpected abdominal lesions including some cancers before symptoms.  In our opinion, it is a practice that should not be encouraged for widespread use, but is available to qualified individuals who understand its limitations. 

Colorado Heart Imaging requires that the patient identify a physician who is willing to follow-up in case of positive findings.

PREVENTION SCREENING DISCLOSURE AND CONSENT

 

I voluntarily consent and authorize Colorado Heart Imaging physicians, technologists, and medical assistants to administer the testing required to perform EBCT Ultrafast Cardiac screening test, Spirometry, and or Cholestech.

 

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING CHEST SYMPTOMS: PAIN – SHORTNESS OF BREATH – ETC.

YOU MUST PROVIDE US WITH A PHYSICIAN’S NAME TODAY

 

I realize that there is a small amount of radiation exposure associated with the EBCT procedures.  I further understand that although this screening can help identify certain early disease states, it should not be considered a substitute or in place of a thorough examination or testing recommended by a physician.  Like all diagnostic tests, a normal scan does not guarantee that I will not have a heart attack or need treatment for coronary disease.

 

I understand that the EBCT Ultrafast examinations, spirometry, and or cholestech ,are intended as screening tools and the possibility exists that abnormalities may be found.  If such abnormalities are found, I understand that such testing and/or diagnostic procedures may be needed to further evaluate the findings.  I do understand that such tests and or procedures may entail additional costs for which I am responsible.  I understand that Colorado Heart Imaging is not responsible for my follow-up medical care.  My results will be made available to the physician of my choice.

 

The body scan procedure is designed as a screen to look for abnormalities of the lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, aorta and abdominal lymph nodes.  Cysts, stones, tumors, congenital abnormalities and vascular plaque are among the lesions detected.  The procedure does not involve contrast dye injection; therefore many abnormalities will not be detected.  Very small tumors, cysts and stones will not be detected.  In addition, a patient consenting for the procedure understands that there may be a higher than usual likelihood for ‘false positives’ than in most diagnostic procedures in medicine.  In other words, there may be the reporting of lesions of no significance or radiological findings, which are not, in fact, present.  On occasion, a patient will be advised to follow up such an abdominal scan with a contrast CT scan or other procedures that may be recommended by a physician.  It is also understood that radiology is not a perfect science and it is quite possible for a radiologist to miss a significant lesion or abnormality by this method.  I also understand that a body scan is not adequate and not recommended to detect metastasis or to follow-up the progress of someone with a history of cancer.  Such patients should only have a body scan if they are interested in a possible opportunity to find some problems, which are unrelated to their cancer diagnosis.

                                                                                                                                                                _________ PATIENT’S INITIALS

 

I have been given an opportunity to ask questions about this procedure and the risks and hazards involved and I believe that I have sufficient information to give this informed consent.  I certify that I have read this form and I understand its contents.
