Incorrect CT Reading and Exposure Limits

Been having terrible TMJ lately and was referred by my TMJ specialist to have a neck CT done w and w/o contrast. There was an incidental finding of minor fibrotic changes in the apical lungs.

Had to get a follow up chest CT w/o contrast that showed everything clear no issues

Just curious how one guy see something and the other doesn’t. At this point I’m assuming the 2nd all clear is the right one.

2nd question i know you guys get a lot. But I’ve had a done of work up over the last 2.5 years with differing opinions from radiologists on my exposures.

Age 32 A HIDA scan, a gastric emptying and an upper GI.

Age 34 this year - 3 upper GIs, a neck CT w/ and w/o contrast and the chest CT. Both CTS were with in a week of each other. Not sure if that matters or not.

Just seems like a ton of exposure to me but radiologist and doctors have differing opinions if it’s been a lot or not.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/

Radiology program

I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
