Hello, My friends told me I should be looking at accredited colleges (which organizations do hospitals want?). And what I really really need help in is, should I be looking at certificate or associate's programs? To the best of my knowledge, I don't necessarily need a bachelor's program to be a rad tech. Do you guys have any recommended programs I should look into? I know many community colleges have a wait list, so if there are options that are quicker, that would be wonderful. As for those who did go on a wait list, what did you do in the meanwhile?? submitted by /u/OkMammoth3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/n1izni/radiology_in_southern_california_how_to_become/

Hi guys I am a British GP registrar (5 years post grad), 2 more years to complete training to become a GP. I don’t want to stay in the UK long term, I know Australia and Canada are options for GPs to move to. I just got an email today stating that I have been accepted into into radiology training (only 341 places in a country of 70 million). I have to move seven hours away from London to the arse end of the country where there are NO single people my age (i’m 40) AND it’s another 5 years instead of 2 BUT The salaries are so much higher in other countries than GP (in the UK it’s exactly the same in fact GPs make more!). My question is how easy or hard is it for British radiologist to move to Canada Australia or NZ? If you know anyone who wouldn’t mind speaking to me for 10 or 15 minutes I would be extremely grateful. submitted by /u/Big-Ground7466 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/n1dhyw/can_a_british_radiologist_move_to_canada/

Im a R3 about to take my core exam shortly. An opportunity has come up... I've been offered a dual certification in nuclear medicine through the ABR. I liked nuclear medicine on my rotations, but it is not my life's passion or anything and I plan to do a traditional fellowship as well. I enjoyed it enough though and think it is a unique skill set. Maybe it would be marketable too? idk can't really go wrong with having more qualifications. The down side is it'd be 8 months of rotations my next year leaving me with two night float months and 3 electives of my choosing. I am concerned that I won't be able to hone in my skills prior to fellowship and I'll just be spending all my time on nuclear medicine and that it'll detract from my diagnostic radiology knowledge base. Was wondering if anybody had any experience with this or if they think it is a good idea. I can ask my family members for advice, but they don't really understand the nitty gritty. sub

Hi there RADdit! (that has to have been used before) I am a high school forensics teacher coming to y'all for some help. In a past career I was a (please don't hurt me) support staff for a teleradiology company. My students are currently learning about differences in bone structures and how forensic pathologists use observations to give estimates on the age of victims from bone studies. ​ I know there was some reference material/textbook regarding age studies that I saw used a lot.

Yeah I’m an idiot. Had a crazy rush in our ED and I slipped up and switched 2 patients in adjacent rooms and didn’t catch it before a rad already made a report, so I got sacked. It was really busy but it’s my screw up; reading a wristband takes 2 seconds. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach the topic in interviews? I would like to not bring it up but I don’t see how it can be avoided if they ask me why I left my previous job. Besides that screw up I think I’m really good at my job otherwise, and am fast at picking up new modalities. I think I can count on a few good references too. I’m hoping if I have to mention it that maybe they’ll believe me that it’s a rare mistake and not a liability.

I’ve been having bad gut pain in my lower left stomach correlated with digestion so my gastroenterologist ordered a CT eith contrast of abdomen/pelvis.

Since then, I found a place (advent health) that offers it for much cheaper as I have a high deductible plan. I just made the appt yesterday for this afternoon. Their contrast is intravenous for this same scan. Will this produce any different results? My doctors office didn’t pick up any of my 6 calls yesterday and I’m worried the same might happen today.

I was a bit offended by this discussion. I am a third year medical student going into radiology specifically for the field of breast radiology. I think breast radiology is amazing. Great mix of clinic, procedures, and reading. HOWEVER, today I was working in the women's free clinic with him and he was saying how he doesn't feel that radiologists should be doing procedures as they are "not trained to do so". I think this is a very narrow and misguided mentality. He felt OBGYNS/surgeons should be doing image guided biopsies. And he was even saying "Cyst aspirations are so easy my first year obgyn intern could do that with her eyes closed". I just felt offended because I love the procedural aspect of breast rads. I do feel that radiologists are EXTREMELY qualified to do image guided procedures, and I would even argue that they are more qualified than surgeons in some aspects to do these procedures.

Results from my Coronary Calcium CT say: Estimated cumulative dose or total dose-length-product (DLP) is: 31 mGy-cm. Estimated radiation doses are based on a 32 cm body phantom reference. Prior to the CT, I asked the technician (or radiologist?... the person that took the scan) what the radiation dose would be. He told me he couldn't give me exact numbers prior to the scan, but that it was very low dose -- in his words, equivalent to "a 2 hour airplane flight", that the machine produces far less radiation than CT scans used to, and that numbers you find online for CT scans are often referenced from older equipment. I was under the impression that: Short airline flight ~ 0.02 mSv Annual background radiation is ~ 3 mSv Coronary CT 1-3 mSv Other CTs up to 10 mSv But at 31 mGy-cm, where 1 mGy = 1 mSv, that's 31 mSv, which sound incredibly high, 10 years of background radiation. So maybe I'm not understanding the "per cm" portion or phantom refer

This is called the "CARES" act. Radiologist must be all over this. For that matter, Radiologists should stand with all of medicine in opposing every aspect of this. In California, a similar bill, AB890, contained a provision that would allow NPs to read ultrasound, x-ray, and mammography. (even though non-physicians cannot, by federal regulation, interpret mammography). The California Radiologic society negotiated, and got that wording removed. The price was that they (CRS) would support the rest of the bill. I don't think they should have done that, although there are certainly reasons that they should have. https://www.ncmedsoc.org/sb-249-hb-277-the-save-act/ submitted by /u/pshaffer [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/my8sxo/nps_in_north_carolina_attempting_to_get/

Last year I was arrested and reported it to the ARRT Ethics Board. I am coming up for review and I am curious if anyone has gone through the review process. I guess I am just worried that they will revoke my license because they found another case from 2006 that I failed to report when obtaining my license. Honestly, I didn't even remember this case at the time and now I feel that since I failed to report that and have a new pending violation that they will choose to not license me anymore. I guess I am just looking for some clarification and to see if anyone else has gone through this process. If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to hear your experiences.

(see pic ) How do you tell which side is closer to the IR? ​ 2) Sacrum AP Axial Does a steeper angle raise the coccyx or lowers it? submitted by /u/novaxlinda [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/mwo10q/identifying_anatomy/

I have a degree in biomedical science and minor in chemistry. My undergrad GPA was not great, so I was somewhat limited in terms of what I could do, but I've always been interested in medical technology related careers. In the area I live in, a community College (Los Rios system) is offering a rad tech program for CT/MRI/VIR, but they require me to be certified as a radiologic technologist in my state. I looked this up and it lead me to ARRT's certification exams, and now I'm confused. There seem to be multiple different exams so I'm not sure what to do from here. Am I assuming correctly that I only need to study for and take the Radiography Exam? Or do I have to take an exam for every listed subject (Radiation therapy, Mammography, etc.)? Any advice on taking the first steps would be highly appreciated. submitted by /u/ZefiantFGC [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/mw9i7b/california_college_graduate_interested_in_rad/

Hello, I am currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology. Our initial thesis title got declined and I’m running out of ideas. I would really appreciate any suggestion. Thank you so much! submitted by /u/scarletassst [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/mw6i6k/can_anyone_suggest_a_good_thesis_topic/

I’m doing my masters project on diffusion MRI image processing, and am currently looking at the typical registration methods used. I am focusing on ELASTIX/ITK, and so would love to hear about the typical image processing pipelines any of you use if you use this program! What kind of transformations do you use? Do you use rigid, affine, spline etc? How do you combine these? Do you tailor your registration method to each individual? I know the ELASTIX manual is comprehensive, so I’m just looking to find out how it is actually applied and used by radiologists. FYI my study is focused on the brain. I really appreciate any information you can share! submitted by /u/---root [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/msfqj9/elastix_and_dmri/

I know they are between the levels of T12 and L4 but I am having to almost always take another shot because I can't seem to easily find them whenever I do a KUB. The bottom of the image always includes the pubic symphysis by palpating the greater trochanter but I am never confident that my KUB has the top of the L/R kidneys when I clearly see T11 just because it's hard for me to distinguish the kidneys from superimposed GI tract anatomy. I think that I see a ureter or medullar pyramids but I just can't seem to be 100% about it. Any advice on how you distinguish both kidneys from the other anatomy? submitted by /u/Iam_Odaddy_Not_Umami [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/mvybnf/kub_question_how_do_you_see_the_kidneys/

What does 1.4 mgy at 0.03 seconds mean? How can we convert this value to millsievert (msv)? How does this value compare to a standard x ray? How does this add to my cumulative lifetime radiation? Is a smaller C arm machine better than a standard x ray machine? submitted by /u/mmbad_ [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/mvo9cv/mgy_conversion/

My department has a couple new IRs and their preference for Y90 mappings and treatments is to use radial artery access. My question is regarding patient positioning during cone beam CT spins. How do you effectively position the accessed extremity during c-arm spins? Our most recent patient had a large BMI and we couldn't line up our isocenter effectively while still maintaining enough c-arm clearance during the spin. We accessed the left radial artery during the case (left arm along patient's side and right arm above the head during the spins). Any helpful tips? submitted by /u/Tucson_Shabile [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/mvhpb0/question_radial_access_in_interventional_radiology/

I'm booked in for an MRI scan with contrast. What exactly is "with contrast"? I've looked on Google, but can't really seem to find the actual results that I am looking for. Hopefully, someone who has that type of scan before can fill me in. Thx. 👍🏻👍🏻 submitted by /u/Doctor-Anarchy84 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/mvemg0/im_going_for_an_mri_soon/

Hi guys, Hope you're well. I was wondering what is the scope for radiographers and image interpretations. I know that there's the red dot system and the instial radiographic commenting. As a specialisation I get there's reporting radiography but is it only in projectional radiography? submitted by /u/meelatalha [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/munki6/radiographic_image_evaluations/

I'm planning to re-take my CT Reg in the next two months. Didn't pass the first time. I used the Mosby's to study and thought I was prepared...Any recommendations as far as what I can use?

I was hoping maybe there’s a radiologist on here or a more experienced CT tech that could clarify this for me. I always thought that you need contrast for a possible mass in the lungs. I learned CT under a really old school radiologist who said that we always needed contrast as long as the patient was able to have it. We always did multiphase scans for masses. Last night at work a mass was seen on a patients CT abd/pelvis. CT chest with contrast was recommended by the radiologist who read the report. Since we had just contrasted the patient we had to wait 24 hours. When the lead tech came in this morning and saw the order she said that contrast isn’t ever needed for a mass in the lung because you can see it with or without contrast. She’s much more experienced than me so I doubted what I always thought. I was taught that you need contrast to see if it enhances to differentiate between an actual mass or maybe a small pneumonia or something. submitted by /u/ExpressionDesperate1 [
