What is your opinion on performing stat ultrasound for first trimester OB scans without first having the HCG back?

By

Hello! I am a sonographer and I have a question for fellow sonographers or radiologists. What is your opinion on performing stat ultrasound for first trimester OB scans without first having the HCG results back? So many times I have to scan these without the labs and it feels irresponsible to me. I was always taught in ultrasound school that the best indicator to search for an ectopic is the HCG but seeing no IUP. So often we have these scans and it turns out the woman was not actually pregnant or far too early to see anything. How would I know to search for an ectopic without the HCG results? I’ve very rarely heard of a tech finding an ectopic without specifically searching for it due to the HCG results and then also not seeing an IUP.

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/
