Why does my Dr say this isn't here? This is lumbar, my Dr tells his Radiologists to look for Cervicalgia. This image was from another Drs second opinion. Are some Radiologists pressured by Drs to not look for certain things? Could anyone of you experienced Radiologists or Rad Techs please explain?

Hate overnight shifts

Not sure if this is more of a vent or seeking advice, but I can't take my overnight shifts anymore. I'm relatively new still, and have been doing every other weekend overnights since I graduated about 6 months ago, and I feel like I can't do them anymore. I spend my week leading up to my overnight weekend a nervous wreck, and the week after trying to catch up on sleep and relax. I love my job and the people I work with but my hatred for overnights is starting to catch up to how much I like my job. I don't want to be that employee who complains about shifts to management and I don't want to be a burden to my team, but I don't really know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated. submitted by /u/LukeyLookUp [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/ouyi17/hate_overnight_shifts/

MRI , assistance interpreting

Hello, Had a recent MRI with contrast. The summary of the MRI stated: all normal. With a radiologist note of all clear, all normal etc. But at the bottom. It said: "Mild CSF prominence of the optic nerve sheaths appears chronic." I tried googling this for hours to figure out what is meant. I dont get to see a neuro for another few weeks. Anyone have an idea or care to share? Thanks submitted by /u/GroX256 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/ouxz9x/mri_assistance_interpreting/

Spect CT/Nuclear Imaging- Ankles

https://www.dicomlibrary.com?study=1.3.6.1.4.1.44316.6.102.1.2021072518168932.101803837914527624222 I've had bilateral chronic ankle problems since spraining them 10 years ago. In my early 20's, the orthopedist said I shouldn't be in constant pain (even at rest) and the MRI's that I've done previously didn't explain daily pain. So I had nuclear imaging/Spect CT done last week and I follow up with him next week. I don't need a Reddit community to diagnose me, but I did want to hear your thoughts- are these black spots on my ankles in the slides just clumps of dye, or are they indicative of something more? submitted by /u/NefariousnessCheap98 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/orwmfp/spect_ctnuclear_imaging_ankles/

Ok, for some reason I'm having a hard time centering images with the c-arm.

Samsung GM85 Exposure Handswitch 3D print?

Hey guys, Someone has clearly got a death grip when it comes to the exposure switch on our GM85, and its looking decidedly "NHS" with the sleek covering it.

How often do you get drug tested at your job?

I’m currently studying to become a sonographer. I also smoke weed in my free time. I stopped smoking before I entered the program and for the drug test. My question is: How often have you encountered random drug testing during clinicals and/or during your job at random times?

AIRP late submissions

Radiology resident here. I think I fucked up. I'm supposed to start AIRP virtually in a couple days and realized that basically none of the paperwork is in (thought my program coordinator had submitted it) and also just realized that I never submitted a case. No good excuse, just didn't realize that we needed to do that until reading about the rotation today. Has anyone here fucked up with AIRP like this before? Is there any flexibility on their end?

Rad tech student here. Having some issues with my clinical instructor.

Im a rad tech student and I’m currently in clinical II. My clinical instructor and I seem to clash a bit. She is just not very encouraging and doesn’t give me a sense of confidence. I know that this is my responsibility but she’s just not the most positive with me. In a nutshell, I really hate being around her. It’s a terrible, uncomfortable feeling. Because of this, I have a serious problem when I’m doing an exam on a patient with her. I get so completely nervous, anxious, overwhelmed and flustered that I completely just forget everything. Like, all my knowledge just goes out the window and I come off as completely inept and downright stupid. I know she’s lost all patience with me. However, when I’m with other techs, I feel great, I love the challenge, I love to get in there and try to complete everything with grace and knowledge. I truly enjoy it. My issue is that my clinical instructor clearly only sees me in this terrible state of panic and anxiety so I’m afraid she thinks I’m

Understanding Aortic Measurement's

I had a echo done was told aortic root is 4.4cm I was told to get a CT with contrast and have the sinus of valsalva checked. My report said this The ascending aorta has a transverse dimension of 3.7 cm at the level of the main pulmonary artery which is within normal limits. At the sinotubular groove just above the coronary sinuses as measured in the sagittal plane the aorta is 3.8 cm in diameter. What does this mean?

Is low-dose CT effective at catching other forms of lung disease other than cancer?

Hi everyone, quick question here. I've lately been reading up a lot about annual lung cancer screenings using low-dose CT and as a result more and more people in the risk categories doing yearly check-ups due to doctor recommendations and lower radiation levels, so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether this was also an effective way to detect other forms of lung diseases (COPD, pulmonary fibrosis/intestitional lung disease in general, etc.), or can those diseases be easily missed and mainly only seen on high-resolution CT's (HRCT)?

New x-ray tech, starting first full time job tomorrow and just found out I’m pregnant

Hi everyone, I just graduated in May and am very excited to finally have a real full time job. I got hired (at an outpatient center) just 2 1/2 weeks ago, and during that time I found out I was pregnant. I went to the doctor today and I’m around 8 weeks. I’m incredibly nervous to tell my manager about it as I’m literally just starting. Just wanted to maybe get some words from those who have been working as techs. Should I tell her tomorrow right away on my first day or should I wait until maybe next week? I feel like I should probably say something tomorrow, but like I said I’m just incredibly nervous. I don’t know if it matters but I have had 2 miscarriages before so that’s another thing I’m worried about. It’s funny, they have another tech who got pregnant last year right when she started and she’ll be coming back from maternity leave early August. So, it’s kind of like a repeat for them. Anyways, thank you if you have any words of wisdom for me. submitted by /u/valpallama [

Some tips come residency application season

Just want to get this out of the way. I appreciate any advice. I had a drop in STEPS; 242 STEP 1 to 240 STEP 2, no excuses but was just in a bad spot at the time of step 2. Title says it all, I will be applying (most likely) DR. I was hoping to go to a program with good training with ample fellowship opportunities out west (go to med school not from the west). i.e. academic or strong community. The rest of my app is pretty good. 4/7 clinical honors, couple honors in preclinical, decent amount of research (ill be able to list 5-7 things on my app, working on maybe getting some more stuff in my rotations coming up), and good (I think?) letters.

D-dimers, PE studies, and covid

I understand that it’s very common for a patient who tests positive for covid to have a high d-dimer value. The facility I’m currently working in orders CT PE studies on all of these patients. (I have yet to see a positive scan, but that’s besides the point.) My question is, is it reasonable to suspect a PE in a covid positive patient just because their d-dimer is elevated? Or am I correct in thinking that the elevated d-dimer stems from the covid infection but does not indicate an increased risk for PE? submitted by /u/florlunayamor [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/ombkm3/ddimers_pe_studies_and_covid/

Is low-dose CT effective at catching other forms of lung disease other than cancer?

Hi everyone, quick question here. I've lately been reading up a lot about annual lung cancer screenings using low-dose CT and as a result more and more people in the risk categories doing yearly check-ups due to doctor recommendations and lower radiation levels, so if I was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether this was also an effective way to detect other forms of lung diseases (COPD, pulmonary fibrosis/intestitional lung disease in general, etc.), or can those diseases be easily missed and mainly only seen on high-resolution CT's (HRCT)? Thank you in advance! submitted by /u/ivrdolj [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/ombi31/is_lowdose_ct_effective_at_catching_other_forms/

CAMRT prep

Im scheduled to write the CAMRT examination for Radiologic Technology in September. Been having some problems with time management as I am currently working and doing volunteering at vaccination sites in my free time. I have begun with the " CT for technologist" textbook because I have heard that the CT questions are the hardest, I like to cover the harder material first but I'm worried I may run out of time to cover everything. Any advice, guidance, topic s, recommended websites, textbooks or just an account of your personal experience will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. submitted by /u/shawty_d_empress [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/om0o90/camrt_prep/

iPad or Chromebook for Radiology Technology program?

I've used my Chromebook for the past two years in college, and I like it. I actually find it to be convenient. Recently, though, I've been thinking about getting an iPad. I just feel like an iPad would be better because it's lighter and easy to carry. As for note-taking, I prefer to handwrite them, but I do hear that notability in an iPad is good for note-taking. I currently use Squid (an app similar to notability on Chromebook), but I mostly hand write them. Would you rather use a Chromebook or an iPad? submitted by /u/Cute_Sherbet_8791 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/olx7xs/ipad_or_chromebook_for_radiology_technology/

A sudden thought about LMP

So.... Let say, if you work in A and E or any radiology modalitiy involving ionizing radiation, Let say a eleven years old girl come in for a pelvis xray/CT/ WB PETCT Ofcourse, you asked for her LMP, and any possibility of pregnancy. If she answered you "yes, i am possibly pregnant", i think eleven olds should be illegal for sexual consent in most of the countries in the world. In this case, do you need to call the police or what? submitted by /u/CXR_AXR [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oijvd1/a_sudden_thought_about_lmp/

PGY-1 match vs. PGY-2 match?

Can someone explain to me what the difference is? I am a DO student. I'm thinking about applying DR but I know it will be an uphill battle for DOs. What is the diff between applying for PGY-2, vs. PGY-1? According to the 2021 match data, it looks to be better chances going for the PGY-2 spot. What does this mean when I apply? Thank you!
