Understanding "Exposure" DICOM tags and their relations

By

Hello everyone,

Would love to get your help on something (couldn't find the answer in the sub history).

​

  1. For the following DICOM tags related to Exposure - what are the exact units for each of them (e.g. mili Amper second, micro Amper, etc.):
  • Exposure
  • Exposure time
  • X-Ray Tube Current
  1. What is the formula that connects these values?

I was guessing it should be - Exposure = Exposure time * Tube Current,

but this formula doesn't hold for the values I'm seeing inside the DICOM.

​

Is this formula completely off? Or just missing normalization values, and which?

Onetonline salary search change?

By
Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
