What positioning do you guys use for a Swimmers view of the cervical?

By

This view has been my Achilles heel. I do it as explained in the handbook but either the humerus is in the way or the body is too thick and comes out underexposed. Now that I think about it. Maybe it’s better lying down on the table instead of doing it upright. How do you guys get it to look good?

I’m only asking because I’ve tried several ways to no avail. Right shoulder as low as possible, left arm up. Left arm up and forward. Both shoulders as relaxed and low as possible. Xray shot at exhalation. I can’t get it. This is for patients with thick shoulders. Short necks. The ones where you only get up to C5 or barely C6 but C7 completely hidden. Sometimes the radiologists want to see T1 as well which makes it harder.

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/
