Xray Tech Tips

Why would an ultrasound be required in addition to a 3D mammogram after a regular mammogram? Wouldn't a 3D screening show the same thing an ultrasound would, if not better? Hope it's ok to post this here, thanks in advance for any help or question redirection suggestions. submitted by /u/AyMiOjo [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/k4eyka/imaging_question/

I've used a couple of different PACS in my time. A few versions of GE Centricity, GE UniversalViewer, and Sectra IDS7. I occasionally need to use Intelliviewer to review outside scans, but have never reported off them. I'm curious what features people have found to be beneficial or painful in their PACS. I'm mainly thinking about PACS here, but feel free to vent on your RIS too. For myself: CentricityPACS is hot garbage. UniversalViewer I actually liked a lot. Pros: * The automatic learning hanging protocols were amazing . After a while, I had it dialled in to the point where it knew to invert my layout on a left foot study vs a right. Even down to which viewing station I was logged in to. Massive time saver. * Very configurable per user. Lots of ways to tweak things the way you liked. * Automatic cross-registration and linking, across multiple old studies, using anatomical markers. It made comparing multiple old liver studies (for example) really easy. * It felt e

Can't understand what this means.. CT scan "There is mild periventricular white matter disease compatible with chronic small vessel ischemia. The gray white matter differentiation appears well-preserved." MRI scan "There are no masses or enhancing lesions. There is a 2 mm lacunar infarct in the right basal ganglia. Focal signal abnormality is seen in the basal ganglia bilaterally, measuring approx 9 mm. There is increased T2 and decreased T1 signal. The acoustic canals, pituitary gland and posterior fossa structors appear normal. There is mild mucosal thickening in the ethmoid sinuses." submitted by /u/quiiidpr0qu0 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/k4b6sd/ct_mri_scan_interpretation/

Check my post history for more information. I'm trying to clear up whether or not this is even a possibility. I'm being told I probably swallowed a metal nut. It's in my abdominal cavity, and the location led them to believe it is in my digestive tract. I really don't see an accidental, random nut I would have swallowed being nonferrous (due to expense). I do know it's possible, but I can't handle the smallest bit of gristle. I also have titanium fusion hardware (what the scan was for, I'm having pain). submitted by /u/LAThrowaway91925 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/k49w27/can_an_mri_be_safely_continuedcompleted_if_a/

Basically I want to ask if it is possible to work as a teleradiologist for a US company and present myself working in the US while actually working abroad. From my understanding some radiologists work remotely from home, for companies such as Vrad or nighthawk. However they can only receive compensation for finalized reports on US soil. Outside of the US, they can only receive compensation for preliminary reports. Would it not be undetectable if I were to join as a US physician but if I were to live abroad while I work and access my workstation computer remotely? If I'm assumed to be working from home anyway, and I have a legal residence in the US, how would they tell that I'm in another country? My reports would be physically sent from my US home address, so I don't see where I would get in trouble legally. submitted by /u/MickieTheMouse [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/k489oj/teleradiology_question/

I want to go into pulm/crit care eventually and on my ICU rotation a few months ago I was looking at CXRs daily and had no clue what I was doing, so I decided to take this course and really want to master radiology as best as I can. I'm reading "Learning Radiology" by William Herring right now and I'm confused by something I read in chapter 7 on atelectasis. In the discussion on types of atelectasis, he says there is subsegmental atelectasis, which "occurs mostly in patients who are “splinting” (i.e., not taking a deep breath), such as postoperative patients or patients with pleuritic chest pain" Later on he says there's another type of atelectasis called compressive atelectasis, which is due to "poor inspiratory effort in which there is passive atelectasis of the lung at the bases" How are these two things different? submitted by /u/21_Points [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/k2h0ly/im_a_4th_

I'm a 3rd year medical student interested in radiology. I'm hoping to match at a decent program in a major city, preferably in the midwest. Things I have going against me: DO student, zero research or ECs of any kind. Things I have going for me: 250 step 1, top quartile of class in preclinical years, all honors in 3rd year so far, ~8 years of work experience prior to med school (if that counts for much). I am trying, and failing, to get any kind of research going. I just don't have any connections, none of my rotations are at academic places where I can meet people, and my cold emailing has netted me precisely zero leads.

Can a student do a presentation of a topic of their interest in the RSNA? If so, how? If not, can you list some of the associations that allows students to present topics of their choosing? submitted by /u/thelioncub9908 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jzlfuy/how_can_a_student_get_involved_in_rsna/

Hello, I'm switching careers after 14 years in marketing. Planning to pursue work as an xray tech. I already have a bachelors and I'm trying to understand if I need to do a 2 year associates at a community college or is there a 12 month option for those who already have a bachelors. Also...if anyone knows. I'm debating xray tech vs nursing. And I'm finding nursing there is a 12 month option to get a Bachelors in Nursing. So just trying to understand how I can be a nurse in 12 months and wondering if I could do the same to be an xray tech. Thanks! submitted by /u/WestToEast01 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jzgoa0/want_to_become_xray_tech_already_have_a_bachelors/

One of my clinics is in need of a rad tech. Our recruiter has posted the position in several job boards (indeed, zip recruiter, etc) but we are not getting any submissions (2 to be exact). Any recommendations on where else I can post? I’ve reached out to a few of the schools in the DFW area as well but have not heard back. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Financial_Elephant41 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jzfzck/recommendations_on_where_to_post_a_rad_tech_job/

originally i was quite happy about getting an offer from usyd to study radiography so i quickly accepted it, but after reading more and more comments and posts in forums from others in the internet about the subject and its career prospects , i m literally desperate, many ppl said that a radiographer only responsible for positioning patients , telling them to hold still, stop breathing during the test and pushing buttons, which is totally not worthy for the time and cost needed for me to study it , i want to ask rad tech here is that true? submitted by /u/licenced_freerider [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jzfz4s/studying_bachelor_of_radiography_for_4_yrs_worth/

I came across this question on a registry review and am struggling to answer it mathematically. Which of the following will produce the shortest scale of contrast? A. 15 mAs, 70 kVp, 8:1 grid B. 15 mAs, 95 kVp, 8:1 grid C. 15 mAs, 70 kVp, 6:1 grid D. 16 mAs, 95 kVp, 12:1 grid I think C is wrong bc the low grid ratio. B is incorrect bc the higher kVp (compared w/ A, the higher kVp in B would lead to longer scale contrast. W all other factors being equal between the 2 choices, the kVp is the determining factor.) So I think I’ve narrowed it down to choices A and D, but what will contribute more to a shorter scale contrast: the lower kVp of choice A or the high grid ratio of choice D? Is there a mathematical way/formula to solve this? submitted by /u/seawoo10 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jz8g61/scale_of_contrast_formula/

Hello Radioheads! (is that an actual nickname?) Background: I'm a Male, in my mid 30's, and after a recent small road accident. (as a pedestrian, got hit at 15mph by a compact car) My French MD Diagnostic : - A Mild Head Injury (on the Forehead ) - And Ri bs fractures on the Right Side (my right) Here's the 2 X-Rays: http://zacchino.com/images/head.jpg http://zacchino.com/images/ribs.jpg Questions : - Could you tell me WHERE the injuries are ( which Ribs / which part of the Forehead )? - What meds / treatment I'll most likely need for those kinds of trauma? (PS: of course I'll see specialists for a definite answer) 🙏 Thanks for your help! PS : I'm asking here, because I'm in France and I need a US-English Doc's point of view. My own US MD isn't replying, probably on vacations, and because of the Curfew, I need to wait almost 2 weeks to get a specialist on these matters). submitted by /u/Zacchino [link] [comments] sourc

Hello. I'm 35 male and looking to change careers as a marketing analyst for last 14 years. I have a bachelors with a double major Economics and Psychology. I am currently in the Tampa, FL area. I'm thinking of changing to a healthcare career. Ive always been interested in the human anatomy and xray seems to appeal to me. But I could also see getting a master's in a healthcare area. Any advice for someone in my situation...should I pursue xray tech, pursue nursing? Is being a male nurse wierd? Any ideas on job market and pay for x-ray tech in Tampa area? Since i have a bachelors do I need to get an associate's in xray or is there a faster path? submitted by /u/WestToEast01 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/jyxckh/changing_career_to_xray_or_maybe_nursing/

Hi everyone. I have just completed my first year of residency in radiology and i am having seconds thoughts about my choice of career. I don't really see my self as a "real" doctor anymore (I used to work at the emergency department) and i have a feeling that other specialities don't really see us radiologists as "real" doctors either. Also i miss being the treating physician that actually have a final saying i how/when/and if a patient should be treated. I had a vision when getting in to interventional radiology but as it turns out there is an extreme amount of on-call duty in IR, and thats really not my gig. I went in to radiology in part because i care about my spare time and my family. We are a clinic of about 80 doctors and i do like a lot of my co-workers, its nice to just "go to the office" and know you will have time for chatting with your buddies. The working hours are really good, and i like having some on-call time that quite easily

Hi all. Premed here. Diagnostic radiology is one of those fields that has always seemed interesting to me and I'd love to hear what your guy's days are like (both residents and attendings). I've already read all other related posts on reddit, but am super interested in hearing more from you guys!! Here are some questions I'm particularly interested in. If you only want to answer some of the questions, feel free! Why did you choose radiology? What other specialty would you have chosen? What does your daily schedule look like? What is the best part of your job? What is the worst part of your job? How does the hospital treat you? Do you feel appreciated? Are there any perks? This may be a little bit subjective, but how do you think your "workload" compares to other specialties? (family is important to me, and I wanted to know if I'd be able to spend enough time with them) Does life get significantly better/easier as an attending? (aka how happy are y
