Can an MRI be safely continued/completed if a foreign body is found and then identified as a metal nut (very likely ferrous)?

By

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).

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/

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.
