Used the O Arm for the first time today! I Loved It! I do think it’s more convenient and a lot more user friendly than the Body Tom. What are your thoughts on the future of the O Arm vs. Body Tom?

By

We got a new O Arm in the OR and I got to use it today! Definitely impressed with the image quality and how quickly it was acquired. It even made sagittal and coronal images off of the axial images. The set up was easy too. The Body Tom is quite cumbersome, and the warmup/set up takes a long time. Maybe it’s just an older model that we have, but I see a lot more benefits for using the O Arm as a replacement for the Body Tom in the OR. Also, since we’re using it while the patient is under anesthesia and still in the OR, it’s definitely a lot more comfortable/safe for the patient than if we did post operative CT on the patient in recovery.

What are your thoughts on this? What are some pros and cons of each in your opinion? Are there any images that are specific to the Body Tom that can’t be acquired with the O Arm?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
