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

By

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. I really hate these scans sometimes.

Radiology program

By
I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.

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. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/
