ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Ingested or Aspirated Foreign Body-Child
Ingestion or aspiration of foreign bodies (FB) is a common reason for pediatric emergency department visits. Three variants were developed: 1) Variant 1 (suspect ingested or aspirated FB, initial imaging), neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis radiographs are usually appropriate to identify the presence and location of a swallowed or inhaled FB.

ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Chronic Pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive disorder of the pancreas characterized by irreversible parenchymal and ductal changes, leading to chronic pain and pancreatic insufficiency. Its impact on quality of life can be profound and may further be complicated by acute inflammation superimposed on CP (ACP), potentially accelerating functional decline and increasing morbidity. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosing both CP and ACP, determining severity, identifying underlying causes, and d…
