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.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/

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.
