Vomiting in infants under the age of 3 months is one of the most common reasons for parents to seek care from their doctor or present to an emergency room. The imaging workup that ensues is dependent on several factors: age at onset, days versus weeks after birth, quality of emesis, bilious or nonbilious vomiting, and the initial findings on plain radiograph, suspected proximal versus distal bowel obstruction. The purpose of these guidelines is to inform the clinician, based on current evidence, what is the next highest yield and most appropriate imaging study to pursue a diagnosis. The goal is rapid and accurate arrival at a plan for treatment, whether surgical or nonsurgical. The following modalities are discussed for each variant of the symptom: plain radiography, fluoroscopic upper gastrointestinal series, fluoroscopic contrast enema, ultrasound of the abdomen, nuclear medicine gastroesophageal reflux scan. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

3个月以下的婴儿呕吐是父母向医生寻求护理或前往急诊室的最常见原因之一。随后进行的影像学检查取决于以下几个因素: 发病年龄,出生后的天数与数周,呕吐的质量,胆汁性或非胆汁性呕吐,以及x线平片的初步发现,怀疑是近端和远端肠梗阻。这些指南的目的是根据目前的证据,告知临床医生下一个最高产量和最合适的影像学研究来进行诊断。目标是快速,准确地达成治疗计划,无论是手术还是非手术。针对症状的每种变体讨论了以下方式: x线平片,透视上消化道系列,透视对比灌肠,腹部超声,核医学胃食管反流扫描。美国放射学学院的适当性标准是针对特定临床状况的循证指南,每年由多学科专家小组进行审查。指南的制定和修订包括对同行评审期刊中当前医学文献的广泛分析,以及对公认的方法 (RAND/UCLA适当性方法和建议评估,开发和评估或等级的分级) 的应用,以评估适当性特定临床场景的成像和治疗程序。在证据缺乏或模棱两可的情况下,专家意见可以补充现有证据以建议成像或治疗。
