Use of hyperpolarised noble gases for MRI scans

By

Hello there!

I am (hopefully) making my graduation at Rad-tech school next year and I am about to write my first bachelor-thesis. As it hasn't been discussed in our lectures I am very curious about the use of hyperpolarised gases like Helium-3 or Xenon-129 for MRI scans. It isn't a common used method in our country, but I still would like to write about it. I already have read several studies and would like to know more about the daily use of it, especially in lung diagnostics. My main questions are:

Is it used frequently in your facility? What are the main application areas? Is there any significant diagnostic advantage compared to other methods (SPECT/FRT/HR-CT)?

I am very eager to read your answers, it is really an interesting topic!

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/
