CT tech here. Had a nurse ask recently if we could hand inject IV contrast for an abdominal CT. I said hell to the no. She said she’s seen it done before and was absolutely convinced. I’ve worked in 6 different states and never seen or heard of this being done because it makes 0 sense. Are there any hyper specific CT protocols that call for that?? submitted by /u/PAxHC [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/sh0o3x/hand_injecting_for_ct/

Time flies and just like last year, my department has assigned me to have a short seminarium, as a part of a larger internal training cycle. It is a place where we, doctors present to you radiographers/technicians interesting topics that should help us both in our daily jobs. As a backround i am a consultant with my field of interest being pelvic imaging - prostate, rectal cancer, gyn, etc. I allready did a one hour presentation in MRI sequences of the female pelvis and how one should think about the angle of aquisition so that subject is off the table. I am more curious to see what would you want your doctor to teach/present/talk about because i am fresh out of ideeas. And it does not have to be in that specific area (pelvis). Any MRI, CT topic would be appropriate. And if all goes well maybe i can do the same for you all, via Zoom, if there are people interested! Thank you very much for helping in this ”impromtu” brainstorming! submitted by /u/Highst1 [link] [comments]

Over the past 18 months, our 500-bed hospital has purchased all other hospitals in a 60-mile radius, as well as many private practices. As a result, they now have a monopoly on healthcare in our region. After our director requested wage increases, the bean-counters determined we're adequately paid (entry-level techs make less than $20/hr). Administration has also informed us we can't hire any more travelers after the current contracts expire next month. The brutal pace of this pandemic, the high stress, rude patients, and haughty providers are driving people out of our department and out of the profession. Those of us remaining are soon going to become so overworked and burned out that our radiology department will become dysfunctional. The low pay and crushing workload is just too much for most of us to bear. The sad result of our system's regional monopoly is that we're forced to accept their pay scale. If we don't want to work for the local pittances but want to

*****still getting the hang of reddit so not sure if posting this is within the rules but from what i can tell this is okay, i apologize if its not Hi all, currently taken a pause in my education due to illness but I hope to go to school for radiology. I have a few questions: What are the pros and cons of different work settings for radiologists? Ex. how long are hours working in an ER ? What kind of setting/ location to work would be best fit for someone with an illness? Is radiology a decent career for someone who wants to be able to raise a family, but still be involved in diagnostics? (why i dont want to be an MD) As interesting of a profession it is, does it ever get redundant or boring? Depending on where you work? Is it emotionally taxing at times? For example giving a normal report and finding out your analyzation was wrong, or chose not to report something minor, does it make you feel guilty? Or if you see a concerning finding during the exam and have to face the patien

I am really interested in pursuing a career as a radiology technologist (likely focusing on MRI in the future, after ARRT) and have been researching programs in the PNW. I am starting by taking two of the prerequisite classes required for admission to the programs at my local community college while also working FT at my (completely unrelated) non-profit job. Today however, I found a job listing at a local hospital for a “Clerical Specialist” in the MRI department. It doesn’t require much for experience, other than office experience and HS diploma, which I have. My question is: Should I consider going for this job while I continue to knock out my pre reqs (which is going to take me at least another year)? Would this job give me any sort of leg up in getting accepted to RT programs down the line, or should I continue to work at my current job (which probably offers more flexibility overall than the clerical specialist job) and focus on getting my pre requisites knocked out? Any advi

For all you radiologic technologists- where do you work and what are your typical shifts? Are you required to take call and if so, how often? I’m trying to get an idea of the work life balance. I’ve heard some people who work at hospitals have no call requirements at all, and others who are on call for the weekend. It’s kinda hard for me to wrap my head around getting called into work in the middle of the night then again a few hours later to work a 12 hour shift. I’d love anyones input!

Does anyone know the full chain from radiologist to report. Specifically after a Rad dictates, it goes to the transcriptionist to be transcribed. Is it the job of the transcriptionist to eSign off for the rad or does it go back to the rad for eSign? Or does the transcriptionist transcribe and send it back to an office personnel to be put into report form and eSign? I am basically wanting to know if it is normal for someone other than the rad to actually click the eSign button?

I'm currently an 18 year old kid living in the UK. I came here because I don't know if I made a mistake. I applied for diagnostic and therapeutic radiography courses for university as my parents suggested I should because I'm the type of person who wanted a job quickly after and didn't want the stress my siblings did when they left university to find a job. Anyways it's getting closer and I'm already been asked for an interview by two universities and right now it's so close I'm stressing like hell. Baring for Alevel I did Btec Business, A Level IT and A level Media but I was never really passionate about school in general. I looked into radiography and it seemed decent but now I look at it again I'm not sure if I can do this.

Where is the uprising? This is a huge topic and I'm not sure why it isn't being talked about more here on the r/Radiology subreddit. The event is based on IR Techs and Nurses being forced, rather denied forcefully, into not being able to leave a job they don't want (ThedaCare) and work at a hospital that offers better pay and better work/life balance (Ascension). It's an issue affecting Technologists and yet, the r/Nursing subreddit has a dozen discussions on it. Is this a microcosm of the bigger problem we have in radiology which is, we don't ever stand up for ourselves and have taken it on the chin for DECADES? We have got to start discussing these issues and standing up for ourselves by whatever legal means necessary. Voting with our feet, unionizing, whatever it takes to protect ourselves, our income, our careers, and our mental health. The Wrong Mantra I think the decades-old strategy of "do more with less" has been a metastasizing cancer to

How could I get clinical experience before I apply for a state license? Hello everyone, I am a certified rad tech with no work experience. I applied for a state license once, but they gave me three months of interim supervision to gain work experience and approval due to the gap between my graduation from school and the time I applied for my license. Unfortunately, my license expired before I found a job. I'd appreciate it If someone with experience could give me advice on what I could do before I apply for my State license again or how I could find a site for practice to refresh my mind.

I would love any tips or suggestions on how I can most professionally handle this clinical situation. It is my first placement as a rad tech student and I am eager to impress at this hospital and let them know that I'm a hard worker and eager for any opportunity to learn. Here's the basic situation: 2 weeks in. Elective procedures have been canceled right now due to COVID numbers. I have gotten to observe one surgery and also got to (help) operate the C-arm (with a LOT of guidance) on a knee surgery last week, which was very cool and very exciting. O.R. opportunities have been few and far between. There was confusion with my school and the hospital, so first we were told students couldn't work with COVID patients; then the school said we were allowed to do these cases, so for one day I got to go along on and assist on several mobile chest x-rays, which is basically all our department is doing for the bulk of the day. Yesterday we got an email from the hospital stating th

In November I applied to the radiography program and I’m waiting to hear if I was excepted or not. I’m extremely nervous because I applied last year and didn’t get in. I had to wait another full year to apply. Now I’m waiting to hear if I was excepted or not. I’m so worried that I’ll have to wait another full year. Last time I was told that the reason I wasn’t excepted was because I did not finish all of my prerequisites. I only had one class to finish and I was already registered for it. All my prerequisites are done but now I’m worried my grades aren’t good enough. I did try another school, and asked about applying. The counselor told me not to bother since I am outside of the schools residency.

So I work in x ray in a hospital in Illinois. The entire hospital got a significant raise. I have over 20 years experience and I just got a 5 dollar raise. Some got 10 dollars depending on their years of experience. So is this happening nationally? Maybe it’s our time to finally get what we deserve.

Good morning folks, Some background on me - I'm in my early 30s and have been interested in making a career change to Radiology, particularly MRI. I've been working as a Medical Assistant in a Radiology department at a local hospital for almost 6 months now. I had been thinking about becoming a Radiology Tech in my 20s, after I had finished my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and decided that career wasn't exactly for me. I got a job as a Recruiter but I was fairly confident that wasn't what I wanted to do long-term. I had learned a little about MRI, CT, and PET scans in a Neuroscience class I took while getting my BA in Psychology and found myself fascinated. Having a job where I get to utilize these kind of technologies to get images that will help doctors treat patients seemed up my alley. I don't think I was ready to go back to school at that time. I was content just having a job that paid well enough to live on my own. I was at a point last year wher

So my hospital is in a partnership with another, larger, hospital, and together they have conceived a third hospital. Now they've moved all the trauma surgeons to the new hospital, meaning from tomorrow there is no longer a trauma ER in my hospital. So that's maybe 80% of the patients on a night or weekend day shift gone. I guess I exist to occasionally do an abdomen or PE ct, and chest xrays up in the ICU. We aren't a big hospital though so there aren't that many of those, at least not enough to not be bored as hell. Like imagine a night shift without a single bone related x-ray or ct. Apparently even patients that fall out of their beds and break their hips will be sent to the other hospital since there simply won't be trauma docs on site. Basically I am wondering what my point of being there is from tomorrow. The whole situation is just very weird to me.

In a hypothetical situation, an abdomen x-ray is ordered on a 10 year old female patient with abdominal pain. The tech does the x-ray. The image includes the diaphragm and part of the girl’s chest. In the chest, there are 2 small metal rings- one in each nipple. submitted by /u/florlunayamor [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/s7k2e0/child_abuse_or_nothing_to_worry_about/

Hi all, I’m a college student currently doing a liberal arts degree. I plan on transferring into a Radiology program afterwards, but I have no idea which one to choose. Could someone please explain the difference? Which one is better? Which one are you? Either way I have to go to four years of schooling (because I live in Iowa) so I’m a bit puzzled. I will say I really do enjoy helping people, and we did an oncology unit in HS and I absolutely loved it. submitted by /u/PrinceofPrinces1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/s6zfu8/radiation_therapist_or_radiologic_technologists/

Hello! I am going to take the registry in a couple of months and I did not realize the traffic violations were considered misdemeanors in Ohio. So I have to go through the ethics process for review and I’m freaking out. I just need to know if I have a chance of being able to take the registry or if I could have advice or anything that will calm me a little bit. I have 3 misdemeanors 1- failure to yield - 2 years ago and a week before the other two 2-dus ol restriction 3-reckless operation - 2 years ago (in the same week but unrelated to the first one) -reckless op was reduced from ovi because my drug test was negative as was breathalyzer -dus was because I wasn’t wearing my glasses while driving There was no probation or community service for these misdemeanors, all fines were paid and they were all first offenses and have not had problems since. Do I even have a chance of them letting me take the registry or should I mentally prepare for them barring me? Thank you! And please

Can someone share with us their experience working for radparners? Like most practices, I’ve heard good/bad things about them. I’m just curious to see what others think since they’re acquiring lots of practices and good portion of the jobs available are with them. submitted by /u/TheBodyRads [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/s5v2xg/radpartners/

Given that most hospital's medical imaging staff is in the double digits, what's going on? Why aren't more rad techs, CTs, MRI techs, etc banding together for higher pay/better working conditions? I'm seeing so many of these posts over at /nursing P.S This is a repost.
