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!

Onetonline salary search change?

By
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

By
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? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
