Just curious - radiation dose for head and neck CT Angiography?

By

I've recently had this procedure done in the ER (sudden vision problem/headache), there were two scans, one w/ and one w/o contrast and doctor did not discuss the radiation dose I'd receive with me. I'm just trying to keep track of my total lifetime dose due to having had 2 CT scans earlier in life (for other causes/reasons). I've looked on the web but it was quite conflicting, I saw anything from ~2mSv to 15mSv.

​

Thanks for anyone who could help answer!

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/
