CT training question

By

Hello to all techs and docs that are reading this!

I am currently in my final year of Radiology school (tech/engineer).
In a few months I am supposed to start my training in our university clinical center, and I am feeling quite nervous about it. While I am very "relaxed" when it comes to performing X - ray scans, performing CTs makes me shiver. Due to the situation around the pandemic and the awful political and educational system in my country, we have been unable to actually learn by going to the clinic for a better part of 2 years. In the past 5 months I have spent every moment available to me in the clinic observing and also doing X - rays while being supervised by the kind techs!

I have only done about 20 CT scans by now, but I have never done any sort of reconstruction by myself.
To cut to the chase, is there some sort of program or website that allows you to practice CT reconstructions?
Or maybe even a program that allows you to "scan" some sort of artificial patient?

I am aware that all machines operate differently but I would like to get a bit more of a grip around everything before my clinical training begins.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

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/
