Potentially silly health-related question

Hey all!

I found this subreddit and I thought it might be the best place to ask a question.

Currently I'm in the process of applying to a CT/MRI technologist course and have been looking up all kinds of resources, opinions and experiences of others in the field. When speaking about the requirements of the job, one of the recurring points was being in good enough shape to lift and position patients who have difficulty doing so themselves.

Now since childhood, I've had scoliosis. I'm 29 now and 20+ years of that I've lived with this condition and it hasn't really impacted my daily life in a negative way thankfully. I haven't had to see a doctor because of it since high school. However, I do remember him warning me about certain physical exercises to avoid, and one of those was lifting heavy weights.

So as you could guess my question is of course this: is having scoliosis a significant enough factor to make me unfit for this field? Or if not, and let's say I do end up with this career, would the frequent positioning of patients pose a significant health risk for me in the long run?

This may be a dumb question, but I thank you in advance for any answer.

Onetonline salary search change?

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

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?
