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. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
