Is it normal to be asked if I have breast implants during imaging of my low back?

I’m not sure how this question will be received here but...not sure where else to ask it!

I had imaging done of my low back today and the person (X-ray tech?) asked me if I had breast implants. After answering I asked him why he had asked the question and he told me I had very dense breasts.

Since I left I’ve felt kind of low-level creeped out by the interaction. Was this a necessary question for him to ask me or am I overreacting?

Thanks :)

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/
