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.

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/
