Can a CT scan be used on a dead body?

By

Hiii I’m writing an essay on different scans that can be used on dead bodies as an alternative for dissections during an autopsy. I was just wondering if it was possible give a corpse a CT scan, and if so, how would they be able to see soft tissue since a CT contrast agent would be required for that and I’m not sure how they’d get one into the body since there’s no blood flow ?? Many thanks :)

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/
