Question: Radial access in interventional radiology...

By

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?

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/
