Visible Pneumatosis in Necrotizing Enterocolitis at 100% Oxygen Supplementation?

Hi, hope this is an appropriate question for this sub.

Currently studying for a licensing exam in Germany and have come across the info in various textbooks that pneumatosis is not always visible/ a reliable sign of NEC if the infant is being supplemented with 100% O2. Why is this the case? It's hard to find info on this as it's uncommon for the infant to be getting 100% O2 anyway for obvious reasons, but I would appreciate your feedback and ideas!

Edit: I'm asking specifically about an abdominal X-ray, forgot to mention this.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/
