how’s staffing where you’re at?

i currently work in outpatient doing CT & MRI and my boss just called to tell me our parent hospital is at critical staffing and they’re offering $10/hr bonus to go work over there. so how’s staffing for you guys? we’re understaffed as hell and part of the issue is they pay lower than our biggest competitor in the area (and have worse benefits, i know this bc i worked for our competitor before i came here). i’m just curious ! submitted by /u/_gina_marie_ [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r624uc/hows_staffing_where_youre_at/

Question for my fellow CT techs

Hello all, I'm considering doing some travel tech work. The problem for me is I've only ever worked on a Siemens and have only ever worked at one facility in my career since I was hired and cross trained at my clinical site. How hard is it to learn a new machine? I'm paranoid about potentially taking a job at a facility that uses a GE or a Toshiba and not getting enough time to train on it. Any advice is welcome submitted by /u/CecilWeasle [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r5s0jl/question_for_my_fellow_ct_techs/

Registry review

Hi everyone. I am currently in x-ray school and graduate in June. I plan on taking the registry ASAP after graduation and I am starting to look into review material. I already bought Rad Tech Boot Camp because it was required for school, but I was also looking into the online Kettering Seminar. Did anyone use this and find it beneficial. Does anyone know any other reviews that are beneficial? submitted by /u/Major-Response1828 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r5rumv/registry_review/

CT Scan of Abdomen and Pelvis

On a CT that involves the pelvis are bones usually seen? Lumbar spine, sacrum, coccyx, etc. I'm moving down a path with my GP and an upcoming PMR specialist trying to figure out a source of chronic 2-month back/tailbone pain and I'm trying to understand if two prior CTs (Nov 2020 and Apr 2021) would serve as helpful evaluating bone issues (tumors for example although I know that's unlikely given my age, 37, and medical history).

Dicom files

Hello, I am not a radiologist. I am someone who is into 3d printing. I recently had a ct scan of my head and I want to 3d print my skull. I have the files but I don't know how to build a view of my skull. All I see is loads of 2mm slices. Just after the scan, the ct tech showed me what my skull looked like on the screen in 3d. I don't know what he did so I am not sure how to replicate it. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Passed ARRT on Saturday. Is there something I should be doing so I can work ASAP?

Hi there. My school really hasn’t given me much guidance on what I need to do. There’s a per diem spot waiting for me at my clinical site. The radiology manager emailed me asking if I’ve applied for CRT (I’m in California) and fluoro, but I’m pretty confused here. Can I get the ball rolling on certain things outside of just waiting ~ 4 weeks for things to process with ARRT?

Multiple T2 Hyperintense Lesions found on Liver in Grade 1 Breast Cancer MRI.

Hi everyone. Would appreciate any input or feedback based on the below. My mother recently got diagnosed with a Grade 1, cancerous, Triple positive tumor of around 13mm in her breast. Also, it’s been clinically evaluated as T2 N0 and the oncologist said that it was caught super early and the prognosis is very good. However, when doing an MRI (focusing on the breasts) extra findings were detected in the liver of multiple T2 Hyperintense lesions with the comment from the pathologist saying ‘more screening is required’. The above has obviously made us all so anxious and worried since this accidental finding makes us worry that metastasis has occurred. According to the oncologist, benign tumors on the liver is common, however, with the scary thought of the Breast cancer having metastasized into the liver is making us feel uncomfortable until we go for more screenings. Also, there is no indication of any lymph node spread from the breast tumor but we have been told in very unusual cas

Loved PE studies as a new-ish CT tech. Five years in, I hate them.

Pregnant patient out of OB, obese. Ah crap. Chart says 104 kg/ 230lbs, I suspect more than that. Was about 5'6". Was not on supplemental O2. Left AC IV was great, so that was nice. Flow rate 5mL/sec without issue. Breath hold deactivated. On SmartPrep monitoring on the main pulmonary artery, I only needed three sliced before I hit scan, we manual it here. Slice 1: 62 HU Slice 2: 147 HU Slice 3: 270 HU. Sweet! SCAN. Scan: 155 HU. DAMMIT I did one just like this one last week out of the ER (pregnant, obese), nailed it.

Need To Interview X-Ray Tech

Hello Radditors, I'm currently about to apply to the ASR (associate of science in radiography) program at my school and need to interview a certified X-Ray Tech to apply. I don't think this breaks the rules of this subreddit so I thought of asking here since the x-ray techs at my school/hospital are being asked by all the students applying and take weeks to respond. We can talk over zoom, google meets, skype, etc if you would like to be interviewed by me. There are 10 questions I need to ask you that I will post below. You can PM me on here if your interested :) Questions: Tell me about what a typical day looks like as a radiographer. 2. What does a radiographer do? How is this different from a radiologist’s responsibilities? 3. What do you love about the radiology career field that gets you out of bed in the morning and coming to work? 4. How is radiography different from other health professions, like nursing? 5. How much hands-on patient care do you have daily? 6. Explai

Does anyone here have any experiences with PIMA Seattle?

I'm asking this question on behalf of my significant other who isn't a Redditor. He can't get into any Radiology Tech community college programs near us (not without a lack of trying. He has great grades, but it's just too damn competitive). PIMA seems like an alluring option, but we're both skeptical as it gives of "scam school" vibes. Reviews online aren't great either. Any testimonials from PIMA Seattle is greatly appreciated.

Optimizing dose for Ceph images

Hi all, The cephalometric views at my hospital are a bit high dose compared to various international DRLs/etc so I'm looking to play with the technique factors a little bit. My understanding of ceph views is that lines, angles and outlines are drawn on the images to characterize the skeletal/jaw structure. Naively, I feel like this doesn't really require superb image quality to do since it's looking at quite contrasting and large structures - is there something I'm missing here? I don't want to detract from image quality too much if it's needed. submitted by /u/lolsail [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2k7k6/optimizing_dose_for_ceph_images/

How much push back does your facility give regarding provided history?

One of the few things about radiology that I dislike is the sub-servitude attitude the department has because rads = money therefore keep people ordering studies therefore keep them happy/placated aka don’t give them a “hard time”. My department has sent out emails before regarding the need to do a better job addressing the purpose of the study because a handful of times the ordering clinician actually put useful information in the script, but it wasn’t on the facesheet and pathology was missed/not addressed. Fine, that’s fair But yet all day everyday, radiologists and radiology personnel deal with studies where absolutely zero effort is put in to provide useful history, and nobody says a thing. Garbage in, garbage out. Just wondering if some of y’all work in places that absolutely hold ordering clinicians responsible for providing better patient care. submitted by /u/Team-Total [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r0z9t1/how_much_push_ba

CT registry and sectional anatomy

I passed my CT test today and wanted to share the resources I made to do it. I was very frustrated with my inability to narrow down what sectional I should study, and I really only do well with flashcards, so I took almost every image of anatomy from clovers CTtechbootcamp as well as Mosbys and created quizlet diagrams. I used strictly these images and the mosby book + online quizzes and was way overprepared for the test. (There are a few gaps in the numbers due to several slices being removed. I also added a lot of extra head and neck).

Do you think your paid your worth in radiology compared to nursing?

I'm a lab scientist and I'm in a group on fb that is constantly discussing our wages especially in comparison to nurses. We average about 28 an hour and do 70% of the diagnostic work for HC. My first love in HC was radiology but then after shadowing for weeks I realized how many people I would have to touch/hold/mansplain/coax into staying put for 7 seconds all for them to not do it....and the bedpans. I was just wondering since rad is more hand on, always up and doing portables, positioning patients etc etc... do you feel the same? Do you think that you should also get the 20k sign on bonus that nurses get and make 45 an hour? Also, do you feel that your field is dying from the boomers retiring and not enough ppl coming into the field (cause that's our main issue in lab, minus the pay and being treated really crappy by nurses). I'm just trying to see if it's really just lab vs nurse or if it's the entire hc system broken and favoring nurses because they are &q
