Resumen
La presente investigación se basa en dar a conocer a personas que padecen de litiasis renal que existe una técnica no invasiva que permite detectar la presencia de calculos en el sistema urinario. Se conoce como litiasis renal (cuerpos sólidos), que se forman debido a la precipitación de sales, normalmente disueltas en la orina. Su tamaño está comprendido entre el de un grano de arena y el de una pelota de ping-pong. La Uro-tomografía es un medio de reciente uso para determinar forma, tamaño y localización del cálculo, así como el diagnóstico de litiasis en los servicios de urgencias. Los protocolos diseñados para esa situación particular y que benefician a los pacientes, son de muy rápida realización, no exponen al paciente a los medios de contraste oral o endovenoso. Cuando el cuadro clínico es dudoso, es la imagen más sensible para diagnosticar al paciente en urgencias. Con tal propósito la investigación se realizó en el Departamento de Imagenología del Hospital Luis Vernaza teniendo como objetivo el desarrollo, la validación e implementación de la técnica del examen con reconstrucción para obtener imágenes de calidad a partir de los datos que suministra el tomógrafo Multicorte. La metodología que se utilizó fue la modalidad de proyecto factible, con el tipo de investigación de campo, con el apoyo de las investigaciones explorativa, descriptivas y experimental. Se utilizo la técnica de la encuesta cuyo instrumento de un cuestionario tipo likert y para su validación juicio de expertos
The present investigation is based on informing people suffering from renal lithiasis that there is a non-invasive technique that allows to detect the presence of calculations in the urinary system. It is known as renal lithiasis (solid bodies), which are formed due to the precipitation of salts, usually dissolved in the urine. Its size is between that of a grain of sand and that of a ping-pong ball. Uro-tomography is a means of recent use to determine the shape, size and location of the stone, as well as the diagnosis of stones in the emergency services. The protocols designed for that particular situation and that benefit the patients, are very fast, do not expose the patient to oral or intravenous contrast media. When the clinical picture is doubtful, it is the most sensitive image to diagnose the patient in the emergency department. For this purpose, the research was carried out in the Department of Imaging of the Luis Vernaza Hospital with the objective of developing, validating and implementing the examination technique with reconstruction in order to obtain quality images from the data provided by the Multicorte tomograph. The methodology used was the feasible project modality, with the type of field research, with the support of explorative, descriptive and experimental research. We used the technique of the survey whose instrument of a Likert questionnaire and for its validation expert judgment
