ELI5: XR v. CT v. MR

By

I'm a rad tech asst (read: transporter) and I have pts ask me all the time what the difference is between CT and XR. My common answer is CT is an XR that can look at you in slices and build a 3D image if we want. Am I right to say that?

And onto the difference between CT and MR, I say we use MR because it's better at looking at soft tissues.

What can I say to better serve my patients? Thanks for your time

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/
