Choosing MSK radiology vs Neuroradiology fellowship

By

Hi Everyone,

Radiology resident looking into fellowship options. My general understanding for choosing fellowship is to choose it based on what you want to do down the line bc that’s what your trained in. Also, the job market varies between Neuro and MSK, so I don’t think that’s a good one to time and base it off of. I am planning on going into private practice.

I think I want to do MSK with heavy procedural training but idk how much of benefit that would be. I assume my practice later will most likely have to be reading a bit of everything as MSK trained guy. Most practices don’t have enough MSK MRI volume. I don’t know how likely I will have a procedural based MSK practice as well although the idea of having patient interactions and maybe even work with athletes sounds good.

Versus with Neuro, you have the option with reading only Neuro bc there’s always a high volume and it pays well. Also, the CAQ testing makes your reimbursement higher than a guy who is not Neuro trained and I assume your practice would want a Neuro guy to read those (anyone know the reimbursement difference for CAQ certified Neuro guys vs not?). I even heard moonlighting to cover stroke centers and that can pay very well.

What are your guys thoughts? What was your thought process on choosing fellowship?

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 ...

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/

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/
