Protection against (prior or after) a nuclear bone scan

By

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

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

Radiology program

By
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.
