I do have a question for you the ED guys are pushing for no oral contrast Abdomen Pelvis scans for screening abdominal pain so that there through put can increase. Does your literature and experience support this?
We have all moved to non contrast for stones but when the clinical impression is a non focal abdominal pain seems at least an hour or two of oral can only help diagnostic performance of CT. Especially the lower we go with dose on kids we are losing major contrast advantage of oral contrast.

Your thoughts greatly appreciated. I always find it hilarious when I think you left LRA only to join another LRA.
