Xray Tech Tips

My post may be off topic but the reason why I am posting this is because I have a friend who is a health care technologist and he is in his late 30s. He is currently struggling with his body weight and I been wanting to help him out by doing some research and connecting with other who are in the same profession as my friend and may be struggling with this but are working on it as well. For this same reason I came up with this 2 simple questions; how is it a struggle to fit in exercise in your schedule in order to have the type of body weight that you want or already have? And my last question is there one major thing that you feel that is stopping you from having a healthier body? Feel free to comment: and I thank you all for all the comments in advance. submitted by /u/Isapien3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/i1liau/helping_a_friend/

Hi, so I wanted to know what do you usually do and by what order? At first I thought chest, pelvis and c-spine but maybe c-spine should be first considering possible neck injuries and moving the patient.

I went to get MRIs of both my lower back and neck the other day due to having back issues for awhile from working with heavy machinery and recently having a bad rear end collision. Well i got hit pretty hard in the back at a red light sitting still while the driver was moving 65 MPH plus and now my back hurts worse than it ever has along with my neck. The Ortho doctor i was sent to is the one the lawyer im using goes to specifically and told me over the phone that he sees slight bulging but nothing surgery wise needed so hes sending me to physical therapy. My cousin who has worked as an ortho radiologist says i have a few discs that look at the very least bulging in my back and neck if not herniated. Just looking for other opinions on whether i should get another doctor to take a look or go along with the physical therapy. Thanks. https://preview.redd.it/52s9dwxmd4e51.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a091148d527fa3732e5934edbe06127295f1665c https://preview.redd.

I posted this somewhere else but thought maybe someone here could help. 25 M, 5’11, 200 lbs Back in early June I went to my PCP after I found a little grain of rice sized bump on my left testicle. He felt it and didn’t think it was anything serious but sent me for an ultrasound just to be sure. The ultrasound came back negative and these were the results: History: Mass. Scrotal ultrasound: Multiple images from a scrotal ultrasound exam are reviewed. The right testicle measures 3.1 x 4.8 x 2.2 cm. Shows homogenous echogenicity with no focal intratesticular lesion. Epididymis is unremarkable. Color and Doppler imaging shows normal-appearing vascularity. There is a small right-sided hydrocele noted. The left testicle measures 3.6 x 4.8 x 2.2 cm.

I would REALLY appreciate any help I can get. I will be doing a Brain MR Angio and a Brain Venogram at a private clinic in about a week's time. Originally, my neurologist suggested for me to do a CT Angiogram via the public healthcare system, but I decided to request MRA/MRV instead because 1) the CT Angiogram won't be for a few weeks and 2) I've already had a number of noncontrast CTs on my brain, two in 2010 and one just a week ago, and am not comfortable with doing another one at this time. When I asked him why a CT Angiogram and not an MRI, he just said that the resolution is higher for CT. The medical events that precipitated this chase for imaging is the following: in the long term, I have had chronic vascular headaches (10+ years) that cannot be described as migraines—and these have recently worsened. Also, literally overnight, about 10 days ago, following a very stressful situation, I experienced a sudden and sustained elevation in blood pressure and resting heart

I'm in Ontario, Canada and I've been religiously checking the postings on websites like indeed every day. There always seems to be a fuck ton of competition for most of the tech positions I see (indeed sometimes shows you the number of applicants for each posting). I graduated this year and I only managed to find a part time gig at an outpatient clinic through sheer luck, as the position wasn't advertised openly online but the owner positively responded to my cold-email. I was trying to find another part time position to fill in the rest of my hours but I haven't had any luck so far. I had some interviews, but some of them ghosted me right after, and one place (which said they were only offering 10 hours a week) said they couldn't accept me because I didn't have full enough availability for them...

What I'm about to say has nothing to do with the school im affiliated with im just searching for answers. Im supposed to be graduating next month from a radiography program that is ARRT certified, which means that the students who go to my school have to meet their clinical requirements in order to sit for their exam. The school i go to is telling us that we dont need to get all the comps that the arrt has set forth due to what's happening. But I don't see on the arrt webpage that they are relaxing there clinical standards. Does anyone else know exactly what is going on?! How can we be graduating in a month if we dont get all our comps which is impossible to do in the 6 days of clinical we have left. Other upcoming radiography students who are supposed to graduate this month.. what is your school doing? Are they modifying clinical requirements?

Can anyone give me advice on how to get a better lateral L spine x-ray with the screws lined up during a fusion while using a c-arm? I work in the OR and during the lumbar spine fusion the surgeons want a lateral x-ray where the screws are align with each other and I'm having a hell of a time figuring out which way to move the c-arm to make the image look the way they want it. At our hospital we call it the "wig wag" and I'm not sure if everyone else calls it that, but to try to explain... while the c arm is in a lateral position, you can "wag" it so it makes the screws align.... How can you figure out which way to move it? Is there a way I can do it without guessing and moving the c-arm one way and messing up and exposing everyone and the patient?

Hey everyone! I am a first year rad-tech student, and I am looking for help, advice, and/or a pep talk. So, this is my first semester in clinical, up until this past week I was doing pretty well. I was enjoying clinic, learning new things, comping on several exams. That came to a halt this past week when I went to an ortho clinic. I had been looking forward to it, as I had heard nothing but good things about this site. Well, I get there and everything is soooo different to the hospital setting. I was expecting this but not to this extent. They have the big fancy x-ray systems that moves the bucky and tube with a push of a button. I kinda got use to that (even though I can tell I like the normal DR system with a wall and table Bucky waaaayyyy more than this fancy contraption here), but their positioning standards have rocked my world. Going in, I was very confident in what I have comped on so far and was ready to knock out some more while I was there. I have lost confidence and have be

I always heard of the various imaging disciplines as a low barrier of entry path to a decent salary. I figured it only requires 2 years of education so it must be easier and have less commitment than a 4 year bachelor's in marketing/etc. Looking into it, in Atlanta GA there are only a few programs accredited for an associates in Radiologic Technology. 1 accredited by JRCERT and 3 for ARRT. That 1 JRCERT program accepts only 7 candidates a year and the others don't seem much better. First you have to take 2-3 semesters of Anatomy-Physiology/English/Biology/Math/Health classes, max of 2 attempts. Only after that are you able to apply to the actual radiology program. After 2 years of that you can take the exam and qualify for ~$25 hour pay which is not exactly wonderful pay. The other imaging declines don't seem much better and in general it seems though all programs in the area are competitive and require a pretty strong commitment before even being accepted but not the mo

Looking for a solid MRI book that goes through the very basics. I’m a CT tech and am very intimidated by the MR physics so I would like something that explains it like I’m a 5 year old. submitted by /u/PAxHC [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/hvhpz5/best_mri_book_for_beginners/

Tuesday, July 21st, Dexios and RadRx are holding a joint educational webinar at 12 pm-1 pm EST. Kyle Tucker, President of Dexios Radiology Billing, will discuss the crucial billing metrics that every interventional radiologist should review every month and how these metrics can reflect if you are getting paid for your hard work. Kyle will be followed by expert Stacie Buck, Founder of RadRx, discussing common coding errors, documentation deficiencies, and areas where interventional radiology groups are losing revenue. These topics intend to arm interventional radiologists with a better understanding of the most common billing and coding issues your group may be facing.

Hello, interested in hearing any career change stories. I’ve read a few posts around reddit. I’m looking to leave my engineering role in the aerospace industry and looking at ultrasound tech, X-ray, CT... would love to hear some lessons learned, things to consider, and would you make the career change if you went back in time. Thank you! submitted by /u/IncognitoMode_on [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/hutr43/30_year_old_male_career_change_engineering_to/

At my hospital, if a tech is in the middle of an exam at shift change it’s not uncommon for that tech to ask the person coming in if it’ll finish the exam for them so that they can leave on time. Does anyone else do this? How do you feel about it? submitted by /u/devastacao [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/humdua/question_for_sonographers_how_do_you_feel_about/

This is the weekly career / general questions thread for the week of July 20, 2020. Questions about radiology as a career (both as a medical specialty and radiologic technology), student questions, workplace guidance, and everyday inquiries are welcome here. This thread and this subreddit in general are not the place for medical advice. If you do not have results for your exam, your provider/physician is the best source for information regarding your exam. Posts of this sort that are posted outside of the weekly thread will continue to be removed. submitted by /u/AutoModerator [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/hugx6o/weekly_career_general_questions_thread_july_20/

Cal State Northridge Radiologic Technologist students/graduates, what should I expect for the interview process? I’m not looking for what I should say but more so what are questions I should expect. Second question, as the first question hints, I live in California. How does it work if I want to be Radiologic Technologist in the U.K? submitted by /u/evilriolu [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/huccar/hello_everyone_i_have_two_questions/

Due to Covid I was removed from my first clinical rotation after 3 months of only going twice a week. I just started going to a new clinical site and feel like I am starting back at square one again. Just looking to see if anyone has tips or things they wish they knew while in school that would have made your rotations better/easier. If you had any website/apps that helped you during school I would love to hear those too! submitted by /u/NHGoldenGoose [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/hu95ij/radiation_therapists_looking_for_tips_for/

My life is in the shitter and I'm considering going to community college. I live in an area whose age demographics skew older so there's like three hospitals, a bunch of independent doctors' offices and VA facilities nearby working to delay the inevitable for the local boomers. Would an Associate of Applied Science degree in Radiologic Technology be likely to help me land a career locally? Are related careers heavy on interacting with patients or are they more "behind the scenes" and dealing with the machines? submitted by /u/dannymason [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/hu8v1q/is_an_associate_of_applied_science_degree_in/

Need some advice on what to do. I’m currently in a community college to potentially join their program to become a rad tech. I took some time to realize I can do a lot better than just become a tech. So now i’m stuck... do I complete the program and then go back to a university and get a bachelors to then apply to medical school? Or should I just drop out of community college and then go to a university and get a bachelors in bio to then apply to med school? Advisors at my community college don’t really know much and take years to reply to emails (bc covid) So any advice helps!!! submitted by /u/stephygeez [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/hu309s/school_path/

I’m a student and I’m currently working at a site with a tech that doesn’t know much about computers. They used to have an “upright” label saved so they could just click and add it when it was needed, but it recently disappeared and she asked if I knew how to get it back. I know this might be a long shot, but would anyone here know? It’s a Siemens unit if that matters. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask. Thanks. submitted by /u/hauntedbyclouds [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/ht1c6p/radiograph_image_labels/

Standard non con stone abdomen pelvis on elderly patient coming from icu to med surg and heart was super big, but on non reconstructed axials thought I saw two different densities above the diaphragm. In hindsight probably LV vs. RV. Bit it’s confusing since it’s so large and abnormal. Of course I’m not scanning but training someone and let them know I think this is stomach and we need to scan at least through the stomach and repeat upper abdomen to include “stomach”. Of course day has been busy and it’s late afternoon and I’m a little fatigued and the phone probably rang like five times (probably three) during this scan and with two delayed outpatients that got bumped by our inpatients waiting so of course multi tasking away like mad and yet behind behind behind schedule. What else is new? That phone. That phone. Man I hate that thing. Twenty minutes later scanning one of our outpatients and radiologist calls and asks what are the stomach views. I let him know that I thought I saw
