Somebody tell me how the hell you can tell the difference between AP/PA view of the hand on X-ray

I'm about to get my Bachelors in medical imaging this June and I'm planning on going into nuclear medicine, however I cannot for the life of me tell the difference between an AP and PA view of the hand unless there's a little lead L/R in the corner..

I was always lucky in the last 4 years because I would get different cases on my exams, and I can usually tell what's AP/PA on other structures but the hand just won't stick with me lol

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/
