We use a GE Revolution in the hospital where I'm doing my training. I can tell it's not coupling the detectors because pitch and scan time stay the same, and also because I can alway retro at the minimum thickness whatever slice thickness I choose. Only thing that changes is the dose, that halves as the thickness doubles. submitted by /u/Ajkenny [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/t2mmko/what_does_changing_scan_thickness_in_modern_cts/

I've been an RT for the last 11 years. I really love the field but want to do more. I've been working on possibly trying to get into a PA program, but I ran across some RRA programs that piqued my interest. But I don't know what the future prospects are for an RRA position. I personally have never seen or worked with anyone in the field, so I worry that it is an obscure position with few job opportunities. What are y'alls thoughts on it? submitted by /u/magickitty2001 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/t2get8/what_is_the_consensus_on_the_registered/

Hello, To be upfront, I am not a doctor, I'm a computer engineer. I'm making a neural network to identify brain tumors and I got this dataset from Kaggle. The images are simply labeled "yes" or "no" for tumors, although I'm not sure how other abnormalities would be labeled. Some images are obviously tumors, or at least have obvious things wrong with them, from my untrained eye, but others are more ambiguous. ​ https://preview.redd.it/22v72wg4g6k81.jpg?width=276&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=912fbf6c35da3d0668b6de8e9772c24a56222a5e The image in this post is labeled "no" for tumors. However, there really does seem to be something wrong with it. Most other "no" images preserve a somewhat symmetrical shape, but this one has a big white spot on the right hemisphere. Is that a tumor, some other condition, or somehow normal brain anatomy? ​ EDIT: I had not sent a message to the mods before posting this, as I had not seen

I currently work at a hospital as a transporter and I'm not sure if I like the environment. As an introvert I just struggle to converse w all the nurses, doctors, techs, aides etc and don't enjoy the crazy screaming patients or the smell of feces, urine etc. It all can feel a bit unpleasant and makes me question if I want to be in healthcare anymore.

Hi all! So I got accepted to an interview for the radiology program at my community college! 30 minutes of the « interview » will be watching current students, the second 30 minutes is one on one with the coordinators of the program… i’m SO nervous. Obviously each school is different. But how exactly did your interviews go? what kinds of questions were asked? Are there science questions asked, or just « tell me about yourself » type of questions? I’m pretty bad with interviews so i’d really like to know what to prepare for!

Hi everyone some insight on my future would be very helpful. I have made the decision and I am 100% going to go to school for MRI or Radiologist tech. I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can answer. I was pretty set on going for my AOS in MRI at a for profit school and go for the ARRT cert. I want to know if it will be hard for me to get a good job going for just AOS in MRI. Is going to school for radiology technician better? I want to work in a hospital one day doing MRIs and I want to know which would be better for my future and landing a job in a hospital.

Hey so im a student in college and soon enough im going to have to branch off into a programme to study for a career. I am really interested in Radiology given my fascination with anatomy and also the perks that come along with radiology. However my parents are adamant on me becoming an engineer to the point where they argue everyday forcing me to do something i do not want to do. I told them I wanted to do Radiology and now they joke about it and say that Radiology is small minded and Im throwing away my future. I feel like I dont have any support and i dont know what to do. Should I force myself to do engineering? Is radiology really bad in comparison to it? submitted by /u/idektariq [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/t0kahv/parents_issues_with_radiology/

I want to start by saying I do like my job, the actual job part. What I don't understand is that management is usually someone who moved up from the front office. Like because you know how to answer phones and schedule patients you should be a manager. Never mind that technologists have an education and know a little bit about radiology. We have some dim wit making all the decisions. I get that independent imaging is all about the scans but we honestly try to see all that we can in a day. They would want us to have patients lie on top of each other to get more numbers. It just boggles my mind that they prefer us chained to a chair and not even consider our opinions on things like workflow, scheduling, improvement, marketing, revenue, equipment..

Hello! Hopeful Rad Tech here…I’m about to complete my Ethics Review before I apply to my program and I was hoping that someone out there could give me some advice. I have been clean and sober for over 9 years and have multiple misdemeanors/felonies from age 19-23 on my record. I’m 33 years old now and have had a spotless record ever since. I have been able to go back to court in the last 2 years and have all of the cases dismissed. I’m aware that I have to disclose them all to the Review Board. My question is if anyone out there has had a similar experience and if so were you able to pass the review? Also, if you are in recovery or a 12 Step program how did you frame that in your explanation? I’m taking any and all feedback.

Hey all. Overzealous radiologic technology student here to probe. I have interest in CT and mammo, but my top 3 interests are: - IR - nuc med - radiation therapy If you want to offer your pros and cons or personal experiences / preferences within any of these, I would massively appreciate it! The more information the merrier. But my major concern is over-saturation in nuc med and especially in radiation therapy. Those two fields in particular massively interest me. However, all I have heard every time I mention those two is how hard it is to find work. Is it worth it to pursue either of these modalities? Is it genuinely such a severe issue? I don’t want to not be able to find a job in the field I go for.

At my hospital we only have three X-ray techs who do surgery. 1. 7a-3:30p 2. 8a-4:30p 3. 3p-11p 1&2 take turns being on call during the week and we all three rotate on call weekends. Whoever is 2 is on call therefore if there is something after 4:30 (within 30-45 min) or a case runs later than 4:30 we are instructed to stay until we finish, meaning we stay on the clock as regular rate and not on call rate. Is that right? One day I had a case start at 5 and they kept telling me doctor is here patient is about to come up and it took them toll 5:45pm to actually start the case and I didn’t get out till 9pm. I was told if I had clocked out then clocked back in I would get in trouble because that’s not the way they do it here. But the nurses in OR will clock out at their shift end time then clock back in if they have to stay why is it different for us?

So I work in a busy Ortho office, we have patients come in all the time who have already had Ap,Lat, sunrise x-rays & MRI s already completed, confirmed ACL tears. Our surgeon will add on just a notch view for these patients. Personally I feel if it's a view he needs I have no problem shooting it, but I have a co-worker who complains every time that we're wasting time, money, pt exposure for no benefit. So Rads of the world do you see a diagnostic benefit to adding this view or do you think we should have enough information already without this extra picture. I know I should probably talk with my Ortho, I just didn't want to seem like I was questioning his protocol and was looking for some opinions here first.

Hi there! I have a pretty basic question. Forgive me if it sounds unreasonable - I ask without any knowledge about how it works. So... i've came a cross a table that informs you what type of CT scans (head, stomach, heart, etc.) gives you the least and the most amount of radiation. Can i know how it works exactly? Is the amount of radiation something which could be simply selected on the machine by a technican who does the tests? Or is the amount of radiation unchangeably assigned to the machine and only the length of the test is the only factor that determines how much radiation you'll get?

Hi, 4 year med student here, I find it really helpful to squint when I look at X-Ray scans, it bumps up the contrast of my natural vision and I immediately am able to see structures much more defined, especially in p. a. Thorax. I actually picked this skill up from learning how to paint and I’m surprised it isn’t at all mentioned in the medical community, since there’s a solid scientific basis behind doing it and it’s actually pretty healthy for your eyes to do occasionally. My question is, do any of you guys do it? submitted by /u/p0ssidestroyer [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/srgveq/do_you_guys_squint_when_assessing_xrays/

Hi I have a question, looking into pima radiography program which is 2 years for associates. I was wondering if pima counts as having your prerequisites, so attending pima radiography program then transferring to medical school does that work? End goal is to become interventional radiologist should I not waist time with pima and just do 4 year cc to medical school instead. Would really appreciate any thoughts or advice, thank you :) submitted by /u/Nyaava [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/sqo1az/radiographer_to_radiologist_can_you_transfer_from/

I don't have a legal middle initial but in school they instructed me to us an X. Is this legally required or can I simply put my first and last initials?

Hello, ​ I am not in the medical field, but am an Engineer with a bit of a passion for medicine. ​ I am going for a bone scan in April to help find the cause of back pain/inflammation and would like to know what to do before or afterwards to protect from the radiation. I have had one of these scans almost 10 years ago and since I am getting another, it's time to get smart about it. ​ I understand there is a correlation between potassium iodide and radiation. Would it be wise to take to take these ahead of time? Does it have a negative effect on the imaging? Better taken after the imaging? Is there something else I should be doing in conjunction with this, in place of this? I do not believe there is nothing that can be done to mitigate radiation damage and hope someone here can suggest some things submitted by /u/sannitig [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/sq6az0/protection_against_prior_or_after_a_nuclear_bone/

Hello! I have an Associates in Rad Science and work as an X-Ray Tech. Does anyone know of a bridge program for X-Ray techs to become Ultrasound techs? I did a google search and all I seem to find is xray vs ultrasound posts.

Is it normal to have a variation in Thyroid measurements via neck ultrasound ? I have had 4 ultrasounds by 3 different radiologists and the measurement of my thyroid gland and nodule varies varies each time. Is the size of my gland and nodule changing every 1-2 months or are the radiologists not competent ? Here are the measurements: 9th September - First Ultrasound by radiologist A: Right lobe measures 5.6 x 2.2 x 1.7 Cm Left lobe : 4.4 x 1.5 x 1.1 Nodule on right lobe : 3.6 x 1.6 cm 1st October - Second ultrasound by Radiologist B Thyroid measurement - not taken Nodule on right lobe - 3.1 x 1.8 x 1.6 cm 8th December - Third Ultrasound by Radiologist C Right lobe - 3.7 x 2.2 x 2.1 cm Left lobe - 3.8 x 1.9 x 1.3 cm Nodule on right lobe : 2.8 x 1.6 x 1.3 cm 11th February- Fourth ultrasound by Radiologist C Right lobe : 5.1 x 2.1 x 2.2 cm Left lobe : 4.8 x 1.4 x 1.4 cm Nodule on right lobe - 3.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm So if you see above, there is so much variance in the 4 ultrasoun

I work for two organizations. At one, the radiologists protocol all scans (ER has free reign to order head/cspine/renal colic/trauma/stroke without approval). At the other, technologists protocol everything. I’m curious how this is handled at other sites.
