Notch view?

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.

Thanks

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/
