Xray Tech Tips

I’m doing my clinicals at a smaller hospital, but starting this coming semester, I will be going to a bigger hospital one day a week to see more exams and get more experience. I’m so nervous about it! I already feel like i’m behind all the other students (i’m the only student at my site, the new site I will be 1 of 5.) I will be in fluoroscopy and surgery for the most part. Does anybody have any tips/ advice for me? I definitely need to be more confident in myself and take over more for sure, but it’s something i’m working on. submitted by /u/199513 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/ko56r0/current_student_xray_tech_at_a_community_college/

I have a question for any attending Radiologist that might be in this group or anyone that might have information. Does where are you go to residency affect your future salary? I do understand that training at a highly prestigious academic medical center would help you get a job at another prestigious medical center after residency, but that is not my concern. If one were planning on going into private practice, would a private practice group pay someone more if they went to a "more prestigious" residency program? or is pay mainly based on how much you can read/produce for the group? submitted by /u/Tennessee_MD [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/kny06j/does_where_you_go_for_radiology_residency_affect/

Yesterday I had an abdominal CT scan with contrast done due to having stomach pain, indigestion, bloating, not feeling completely emptied out, and excessive gas that has been going on for months. I was given an IV of the contrast dye and literally almost threw up on myself. I’ve never experienced anything like that before. The scan only lasted about 20 seconds! I really hope the tech got good images because the study was so short. Is this normal?? After having the ct scan done I got some food and was extremely nauseated and almost threw up eating the food. It is the next day and I am still extremely nauseated, constipated, and fatigued. Is this normal? If so, how long does this last? submitted by /u/Itsajuiceworld [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/kn2mti/received_abdominal_ct_scan_with_contrast/

Here is what is going on in the short version of it all: I work for a very busy decent size ortho office and i take X-rays for them, i also help out the MA’s and nurses when needed, as does most of my coworkers. I’ve worked for this company for almost a year now. My company was bought out by a large health system in 2019 and therefore we have been going through some changes. Our office has combined with the suite next door to us (literally right down the hall...) and we are now operating as one unit, suite A102 and B102. We have all fallen in line and we are all Scheduled to work in multiple different areas, including working xray for the docs in A102. Now here is where i get to what is really going on.... i work with a woman, let’s call her Karen. Karen has worked for my office for 5 years and has a major issue rotating to other areas. She doesn’t feel as though she needs to rotate because she has “seniority.” 🙄 For whatever reason my manager (who is very business minded and has ze

Throwaway for protection. I saw a CT scan of abdomen pelvis that looked like patient had drank po contrast but they had not. On review this had been there for 2-5 years and even seen on a kub.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice that I don’t plan on using. However, I am currently enlisted in the military and have the opportunity to use TA (Tuition Assistance) to take some classes online over the next couple years. I also have my GI Bill, which I can use after my service on education as well which I plan on using to physically attend a school (if possible, thanks COVID). I want to use my TA and take a couple classes necessary for Radiologic Technologist such as anatomy and physiology. With that said, does anyone know if those classes/credits will transfer over into a Radiologic Technologist degree? For example, If I take these couple of classes online at let’s say Maryland University, will they hypothetically transfer over to Florida State university and I just take the remaining classes there? I also have the opportunity to use my TA to get a certificate online like I said before, so should I just go for the Radiologic Technologist certificate online, and then

Hi everyone, I'm a current final year med student in the UK, and I've been wanting to go into radiology for a good while. I have my elective coming up in March, for which my plans to go to Brazil, Australia, the USA and Italy for a radiology placement, and my plans to stay in the UK/my home institution for a radiology placement have all flopped because of COVID. I am certain that radiology is the career for me. I have already done a student choice module in it, I have co-founded the radiology society at my uni, I have some research experience in the field (and some coding experience), so I think I have a reasonably strong case for 'commitment to field' when it comes to applying for jobs a couple of years down the line. However, I am desperate to end up with a radiology placement for my elective, either in-person or virtual, either clinical or research-based, anywhere in the world this coming April. As a last ditch attempt to figure out if there are any other avenue

Hi all...I’m just a lay person in need of some ease in worries/advice. On Nov 4th I went to the ER with some stomach issues. I went because it has been impossible for me to get ACTUAL hands on help with some IBS symptoms I’ve been struggling with. Covid has really dealt a good blow to everyday health care. In any event, I’ve had a ton of tests since June, but the GI is still not seeing patients face to face. I have an appointment scheduled with a new GI in January, but in the meantime, my ER visit earned me more bloodwork and an upper abdominal ultrasound. The ultrasound said I have a suspected hemangioma. I was scheduled for a follow up MRI, but my insurance denied it. I know I could have pushed, but I’m just not into “searching” with these kinds of imaging tests because I’ve had so many over the years turn up incidental things that need further follow up and for someone like me with health anxiety...it’s a nightmare. Anyway...I opted for a repeat ultrasound which I’m going to have

Hi, I am going to graduate in May as a cardiac sonographer, ARDMS Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer (RDCS). According to my community college's MRI program website, I meet all application requirement except for: ARRT Certificate – Current certification as a radiologic technologist through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. (ARDMS, American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers and NMTCB, Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board certifications are acceptable substitutes.)

Hi all! I am considering going back to school for a 2 yr Rad Tech program. I have been out of school and working in finance for 15 years. Finance is a career that I sort of fell into after obtaining a liberal arts degree. While I am thankful for my career and it has paid my bills, for a variety of reasons it has left me unfulfilled and wanting to make a career change for the 2nd half of my working life. After doing some soul searching, I feel that Rad Tech would be a fit for me - in that it is meaningful work, working with technology, learning hard skills, and helping people. The research I’ve done also points towards it being a stable career with job prospects. Needless to say, I’m somewhat nervous about leaving my current position to go back to school during this crazy economic time. Am I crazy for wanting to do this? For you all that are Rad Techs - what has been your experience? What do you enjoy about your career and what do you struggle with? For anyone that has made a 2nd hal

Hey guys, I am 18 years old, and I just finished my first semester in my Diagnostic Imaging program. I did well, but honestly I was miserable in it. I feel like I have the ability to do it, but I really don't think that I will like this as a career. I went into it because I knew it was possible to find part time work, and it pays decently. Now I feel like I made a mistake. However, I don't even know what else I would like to pursue. I feel like I don't know what I want. Also, I am more of an introverted person, so speaking to people all the time really doesn't appeal to me, and I thought this would be a "clean" career, but after leaning about it, surprise surprise, it isn't. I don't really know what I am asking...but I guess I'm trying to figure out if it gets better? Or if I hate it now, should I probably just leave and not waste anymore time because it gets worse? Also, I keep on thinking that this is a "you're guaranteed a job"

They’re offering me a hourly wage in the middle of what they were advertising(I assumed They’d low ball first) and they are asking me to set up my direct deposit 8 days before our orientation date which I found weird.

Hi, patient here. I got an MRI a few weeks ago and my vein broke and the IV of gadolinium started leaking under my skin. She didn't notice until after a few minutes. I couldn't really see what was going on because I was blindfolded and still in the machine, but it felt very cold. The tech said "Shoot, it was going fine but then your vein broke" and that she was going to get another bottle of contrast and put it in my other arm, and she did. This seemed like a lot of contrast to me but I didn't say anything. I felt fine immediately afterwards but the following night I got horrible diarrhea that did not seem to be caused by anything else, and ever since then I've been experiencing upper back pain and the pins and needles/burning sensation that folks speak of. Also my sense of taste is altered. I'm not trying to be alarmist I'm just trying to figure out of the gadolinium could potentially have caused this. submitted by /u/marjorie_morningstar [

Hi, I am going to be sophomore in college this upcoming spring semester and have not chosen a major yet. Last year, I was working with this girl who was studying to become a rad tech- which is something I never knew existed, and she told me that she loves it. My school offers that program and I have just about met all of the pre reqs/gen ed requirements for it. I am interested in it but I am concerned about a couple of things: I’ve never been the best at science courses in high school. I never failed any of them, but I’m pretty sure I passed A&P with just a 76. However I didn’t really care for it at the time. Is it possible for me to just start liking it and fixing my abilities? I was just hired as a pharmacy technician trainee about two weeks ago. I will have to take a certification test in about 6months to a year from now. Will that interfere?

Male, 28-years-old, European - I was wondering how accurate a standard, non-contrast CT scan is for detecting unruptured cerebral aneurysms. I can only find studies and articles on CT angiography rather than standard CT. Anything else is about contrast-enhanced CTs or CTs post-rupture. submitted by /u/Ais4Anxious [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/kimsik/accuracy_of_noncontrast_ct_in_unruptured_cerebral/

Good day, guys! I'm a rad tech student, and one of my class requires us to create a PowerPoint presentation about the topic assigned to us which is " The Role of Radiologic Technologists as Frontliners in Addressing COVID 19 Pandemic ". I was hoping that you guys, especially radtechs, could give your opinion about the said topic. I just thought that " r/AskReddit reddit stories" style like this would be great a way to share other people's opinions without doing personal interviews. ​ Also, since I'm going to present it to my class, I would like your permission to do so. Thanks guys! submitted by /u/goldraman555 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/kijdxj/what_are_the_roles_of_radiologic_technologists_as/

So my class was scheduled to graduate in June of this year, covid obviously complicated that and our program held off our graduations until we could resume clinicals (and I personally already had extra time to make up due to a medical issue last year), so here I am now having officially graduated from my program but I just feel so unready. I've been doing both RadTech Bootcamp and Rad Review for months and I'm just not making any headway. On Bootcamp my practice tests tend to be in the low 70's and on Rad Review it's more like 40-50%. I wish I could say there was one area where I'm lacking but it just seems to be spread all over the place, sometimes I make mistakes on stuff I got right a couple of weeks ago even. It's really making me wonder how I even passed any of my classes, not that I was ever a high achiever in those either despite my best efforts... submitted by /u/IlezAji [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/k

Hi, I'm a student in Year 12 and currently working on my EPQ (for those who don't know, its a UK based qualification where you choose a topic and write a written report based on it). I've tried browsing the internet (including scholarly websites and journals) to research, but it is hard to find the information I need, especially as I am no expert and have a limited understanding. I would appreciate it if a few of you can give me pointers on: current research directions in diagnostic imaging, the recent advances made, the advantages of it over old models, and whether it has been utilised in hospitals yet (why and why not)? I am grateful for any help and/or advice :) submitted by /u/toodleloos [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/ki181s/what_are_some_recent_advances_made_in_diagnostic/

I’m an international applicant and got shortlisted for a Band 5 zoom interview. I am a bit anxious as it is my first and i badly want to pass it so i am hoping to get ideas about the common interview questions that is asked there and for tips.

I want to order some small commercial radioactive samples to test my geiger counter but I want to know how to safely store them. I'm purchasing a lead pig to keep them in but I think I remember hearing something about radioactive gas building up inside the container over time? idk it was a while ago but are there any other precautions and or concerns I should take in storing test samples? submitted by /u/RealReevee [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/khtzlj/handling_small_radioactive_samples/

In light of Raddit's career week, I'm sharing content I've created for those who are interested in medical imaging careers. Specifically, the system administration and information technology aspect of medical imaging. I believe with the shift towards a digital world, there will be more opportunities available to rad techs, medical staff and IT professionals within health information systems. This post is rather an answer than the question itself. The ARRT technologist roles are great paying jobs. However, typically the IT professionals that support these systems generally can earn more. In addition, the IT professionals have a greater ability to climb the corporate ladder, use their skills to venture out of their career path, or consult for higher income. The earning potentials for the IT professional is much higher than the technologist. With tech giants like Amazon Care coming into the space, the opportunities can be endless. Roles Below I've listed a handful of

I'm debating between respiratory therapy or radiographic imaging, either way, my biggest goal is to work for a travel agency (I was looking into nursing, but I don't think I have the right personality for that field). It seems that there are many specializations in radiology and I was just curious how it works. Does it just require taking certification exams? Or is it hoping there is a need in your place of employment and they're willing to train you in that specialty? Is it possible to be certified in more than one area?
