Question about quality assurance

By

Hello, I'm a recent diagnostic radiography graduate from the UK. I've just had an interview that I think went fairly well. One area I was asked to talk about in the interview, however, I think I was less well informed about than others. I was asked to outline some quality assurance tests I know of. In my training, we were shown some digital radiography quality assurance tests briefly at the start of our clinical placement and I recalled these. I think I should probably brush up on my knowledge of them, however.

I was just wondering if anyone has any good resources (preferably UK-based) on the full range of quality assurance tests usually/regularly employed in digital radiography? I know regular quality assurance tests are mandatory under IR(ME)R 2017 legislation. If I remember rightly from classes, in the UK, suggestions made by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) are used to inform what tests should be performed. If anyone has any information on this too, I would be really grateful. None of my radiography/medical physics books cover this in depth.

Thanks in advance for any help.

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/

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
