MRI False Negative Stroke / Case Study

By

Hello,

While researching effective methods to view strokes I came across studies that suggest that MRIs may lead to false negatives especially for strokes that are located in the posterior portion of the brain. I found this interesting as I believed that MRIs were pretty accurate in terms of diagnosing strokes/ischemias. This brings me to the real topic of this post. At an internship I received a case study of a baseball player whose main side effects were headaches and vision changes. I suspected that a silent stroke (maybe in the occipital lobe) may be the cause of the vision changes but the MRI seemed clear. Is it possible that a stroke in the posterior portion of the brain occurred but it just isn’t showing up on the MRI. What additional steps in the diagnostic process should be used to help rule out the possibility of a false negative (any additional scans etc.) I can link the MRI from the case study below but I don’t want to break the rules so I’m going to wait a bit first.

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.
