Has anyone went to kaiser's school of allied health rad tech program? How was the education and did you get a job with Kaiser coming out?

I am applying to the school and was wondering if it is easy to get a job with Kaiser after contingent you do well. submitted by /u/tatsuyanakamurata [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qjyhk0/has_anyone_went_to_kaisers_school_of_allied/

Risk from swallowed nose ring and MRI

Hello, happy to delete this if posts like this aren't allowed I have an MRI tomorrow and Ive been freaking out a bit because 2.5 months ago I may have swallowed a nose ring (it was while hooking up with someone, they thought they had swallowed it or lost it but there's a chance I could have swallowed it). Is it safe for me to get an MRI? Should I request an x-ray beforehand to minimize risk? I really don't want metal shooting out of my body lol submitted by /u/Party-Biscotti-6319 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qjvzl8/risk_from_swallowed_nose_ring_and_mri/

PACS ADMIN or any Informatics in radiology

I am a fairly new rad tech, and i am not feeling this career. I am a very technology loving person and i want to get into Information technology involving the radiology servers such as PACS. I am not sure how i can do this. I understand technology and I never have any problems learning new things in this area. Could anyone direct me into the path in getting to the career of an information analyst or PACS admin or something adjacent to these careers. submitted by /u/Zyrf [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qju4gs/pacs_admin_or_any_informatics_in_radiology/

Any community IR docs out there that can talk with a lowly M4?

Hey everyone. I am a fourth year applying radiology and was interested if any IR docs can talk about what it is like practicing in the community and job satisfaction, diversity of cases, and just generally how they like their jobs. I was torn between rads and anesthesia, have applied rads, and am now concerned that I may have not made the right choice. I am a people person that likes to interact with patients and do procedures but loved the cerebral aspect of radiology. I thought IR could be a chance for me to get more interaction but now I'm not too sure, I have heard some negative things and it got me scared. submitted by /u/BillyBob_Bob [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qjfzqn/any_community_ir_docs_out_there_that_can_talk/

Dose for pediatric head ct?

My almost 1 year old fell down 11 stairs 4 days ago (I left the basement door open and I’m not sure I’ll ever stop feeling guilty). He was acting normally after crying for 10 minutes but had swelling under his eye which has now bruised. They still did ct scan to make sure there was no impact (?) to the brain. I’m now worried about the radiation. When I called the hospital to ask for the dose they said it was “256 milligrade” and wouldn’t give me the exact unit. Does that mean 256 milli-msv? Would that be 3 times one regular x-ray? submitted by /u/Riliv [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qjf9iv/dose_for_pediatric_head_ct/

mSv in 1 Minute of Flouro?

I’ve unfortunately had some bad medical luck this year, which has required me to get some diagnostic imaging done. This has triggered me to start keeping up with how much radiation I’ve been exposed to, because I’ve had quite a bit in the past as a patient. But also because I work as a RN in the OR. Although I always wear lead I’m exposed to quite a bit there as well. I’m trying to figure out a rough estimate for the mSv dose per minute of flouro time. Is there any general rates for this? And sources? I’ve tried doing some research but the answers vary wildly. Thanks! submitted by /u/Throw_Reverse [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qipbjp/msv_in_1_minute_of_flouro/

Lateral knee/pattela axial technique

Hi noobie here, I'm looking for tips and advice how to perform consistent at lateral knee x-ray (in standing position). I also would appreciate some information about technique you use to perform axial patella x-ray, there are few methods and I'm not confident with this procedure. Merchant technique is not an option because I don't have equipment at my facility. If you can share some knowledge I would be really grateful.

Rad Tech School vs. MRI school

Hello all, I'm currently putting in my applications for Rad Tech programs and just realized there were MRI programs that I can apply to. I know that in the recent years MRI has become a primary modality. After doing more research and watching the YouTuber mriman, I feel like I would really enjoy being an MRI tech. My question is, do graduates from MRI schools have trouble getting hired because they aren't trained in multiple modalities? Would it be more beneficial for me to do rad tech school, then cross train into MRI? submitted by /u/lhuynh1234 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qi63td/rad_tech_school_vs_mri_school/

Best PACS solutions for small practice

Apologies if not allowed, just wondering what PACS solutions anyone can recommend for a small-medium practice that does their own ultrasounds. Ability to import measurements into templates for reporting and remote, web-based viewing is a must. Is there anything out there that's maybe subscription-based that doesn't cost six-figures?

New SRNA

Hello fellow rad friends, I will be soon be spending plenty of time in EP lab, IR, places with fluoro/C-arm, and radiation in general. I've started looking at lead and doing my research but that doesn't beat your valuable first hand experience so I'm coming to you. As an anesthesia person, I sit at the head of the bed and often have to turn my back to the irradiating source in order to draw up drugs etc. I do have a screen between me and the surgical field but it has a habit of moving on me, as does the C-arm. Any recommendations on what would be safe/comfortable? Is it impossible to buy something safe and comfortable that's light, but won't be a financial blow as much as it's looking like it might be? submitted by /u/ketameme28 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/qh91cp/new_srna/

For those those who left being a rad tech to a new career, what did you do?

I've only been a rad tech for one year, so I know shouldn't be expecting to make a lot right away, but I'm starting to doubt if our career is really financially viable. I keep hearing about how nurses get crazy sign-on bonuses, and can easily gross 6 figures for example. Same thing in tech and engineering fields. But tech wages seem to be rather stagnant... especially if Amazon warehouses and stuff are hiring at 25+ an hour.... Not that I'm saying they should get paid less, but it's starting to feel like our career is kinda pointless if our wages are going nowhere. Not to mention the rampant inflation going on and I have yet to see any signs of a good raise incoming. I'm thinking about learning MRI to hopefully get a better job/salary, but I'm not sure if I should stay as a tech at all if we're gonna be left behind. Has anybody switched to something else like nursing? Or should I get out of healthcare entirely if the government will keep cutting funds?

Why are missing ligaments on an MRI considered to be ruptured?

I looked at the notes for an ankle MRI recently where the radiologist wrote that the ATFL ligament could not be demarcated. Later she wrote that the ATFL was completely ruptured, but I can't work out how she came to that conclusion if she couldn't distinguish it on the image. I think I've seen this before and I tried to use Google to work why this is a sign of a complete rupture, but I can't seem to find anything that says why this is. Isn't it possible that the MRI just misses the ligament?
