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.

Onetonline salary search change?

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

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?
