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).

Onetonline salary search change?

By
Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
