Exposure index on fuji systems

By

Hi there, I work at a college and we recently acquired new fuji DR systems. (My speciality is MR)

We still have our older system and teachers are used to teach students about the fuji exposure index "S" value which have to be around 200 to 400.

Now we are doing tests with the new systems and can't seem to get a well exposed image with an acceptable "S" value. (ex: well exposed hand gives us an "S" value of 62) To reach 200, the structure needs to be underexposed.

Now we are being told by the fuji app specialists that the "S" value don't matter anymore and we should focus on EI / DI now. I get that it is the new standard but it seems weird to me that "S" values are still displayed and now systematically out of range. Furthermore, they are more prominently displayed than EI / DI values.

So now, we gotta tell students to discard "S" values on new systems but not on our older systems. This is confusing for me and can't imagine how it will be for them.

I am wondering if they forgot to do a calibration for "S" values when installing these new systems.

Any specialist can help me out here ?

Thanks

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.
