Any tips for obtaining good images for CT soft tissue necks?

Hi, new tech here…we have a scan protocol built into our scanner for CT soft tissues with a 60 second delay. So we are to start the scan and inject at the same time. Although, I think I rather delete the delay and start the scan when I see fit. I noticed some of the scans are a bit washed out by the time it’s done. I’m thinking for most patients I can try for a 50 second delay and still be okay. Ofcourse I would have to factor in other things like needle gauge/or weight and that jazz, but for now I think 50 would be better than 60 then go from there. Any tips or tricks from seasoned techs would be helpful!

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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

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.
