Scoliosis: Fulcrum & Lateral Bending

By

What I know so far:

Lateral bending shows the nature of the scoliosis whether it's structural and non-structural. It also shows the rigidity of the spine and determines how successful reduction of the spine will be.

Fulcrum view places a bolster (cylinder) at the apex of the curve. Besides this, I cannot find enough information on the benefits of this view and what information it provides for orthos or radiologists.

I have a few questions:

Why bend both ways for the lateral bending? What exactly does the fulcrum bending view show? How does these images change/aid in orthos planning for corrective surgery 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/
