Can demyelination lesion volume be accurately determined in the following cervical MRI sequences?

By

Hi, I am a neurology intern getting started in multiple sclerosis research and for a beginner like me MRI is quite though matter and still learning a lot. Our centre scans the cervical spine in MS according to the following protocol for their regulair clinical MRI's:
- Sagittal T2 TSE (FoV 200*200, matrix 256x320), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm
- Sagittal T1 TSE (FoV 200*200, matrix 224x320), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm
- Sagittal STIR (FoV 200*200, matrix 240x320), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm
- Axial T2-MEDIC (FoV 180*180, matrix 426x512), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm

I wondered if these sequences can be used to determine (with reasonable accuracy) MS lesion volume for the cervical spinal cord? Or is the gap (since that slice thickness is 3mm and distance 3.3) a problem for these? Or do the sequences even need to be isotropic in order to determine volumetric information?

Thank you in advance for your insights!

If you would like to be part of our group we are making the Core textbook into an Anki deck tagged by chapter/sub sections. It will resemble the AnKing card type. Due to copyright infringement we will only be sharing the deck with those who contribute. If you are interested please chat me 1. Your Anki experience; 2. What year you are (medical students and residents only). submitted by /u/DoctorToBeIn23 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/l20h56/ankore_anki_core_radiology_comprehensive_deck/

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/
