Incorrect CT Reading and Exposure Limits

By

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.

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/
