Intravenous Contrast Vs Swallow? (Abdomen CT)

By

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. When I first set it up with an imagining facility, they were going to have me swallow barium 2 hours beforehand. 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 just want to ask a nurse if they have a preference between be receiving intravenous vs oral contrast.

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. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
