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.

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/

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/
