An Innovation of Black Tea as a Substitute for the Use of Positive Contrast Media in CT Urography in Hydronephrosis Cases: Case Study

Abstract:

The use of contrast media on CT scans needs to be done to see the urinary tract clearly. Contrast media itself has side effects that can harm patients if they have allergies. The purpose of this study was to determine if black tea can be used as a natural contrast medium to replace iodine contrast media in CT urography. This study used a case study method by observing a patient diagnosed with hydronephrosis who underwent CT urography. Prior to the examination, the patient had drunk 600 ml of black tea. Examination using CT Scan GE Revolution ACT 32 slices with axial, coronal and sagittal images. The results of the image are then taken to a radiologist and a radiographer to assess the image quality and anatomical clarity in the form of an interview. The results showed that the patient drank 600 ml of plain black tea on a CT-Scan urography examination in cases of Hydronephrosis could open or clarify the ureteral tract, making it easier for doctors to read out radiographs. The use of tea was able to reveal the ureteral groove and facilitate tracking. Black tea with natural ingredients has the opportunity to be a substitute for iodine contrast media which uses chemicals in CT Urography so as to reduce the potential for allergies and side effects to patients and is inexpensive. Studies related to the ratio of black tea and water can be carried out to obtain an optimal density value.
