Injuries as a mammo tech?

Hi everyone,

I got into a radiology tech program which ends in a modality so you get to pick ct/mri/mammo tech.

I was a cna and a patient I got stuck lifting alone (I'm barely 100 pounds) shoved my right shoulder back and tore up my body. I know have back issues in btwn my shoulder blades and muscle loss. And prone to so many spasms.

The school I got into is willing to work with me which is great and told me to look into mammo tech bc depending on the hospital ct/mri/cardiac cath would require lifting or a lot of lead wearing.

I can't shadow anyone right now b/c of covid. I was wondering if there were any mammo techs who has had issues with lifting heavy patients esp in the hosptial? Or had difficulty with positioning? Or sustained long term injuries due to their job?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
