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/

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.
