i have got a bad quality CT, and i wonder anyone have similar experience ?

By

I have noticed that, sometime if the patient is very Thin, dont have much fat, when i used standard protocol. Sometime the resultant image appears very “grey" and the image contrast become very low. Anyone have similar experience ? And why is that ? I have checked the exposure, the kv should be enough, and the mA is a little bit low, like 120kv 180ma for abdomen. Should i lower the kv to obtain more mA? But the machine is on automatic mA modulation

What confused me is that, this situation dont appears everytime, it just occur occasionally for thin patient

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/
