Question for CT techs- What do you call this type of artifacting? What causes it, and how would you fix it?

https://reddit.com/link/tld8ng/video/bfb28yas17p81/player

I'm not a CT tech, I create 3D models from CT scans for surgical planning and custom 3D printed implants. I have an ok grasp of most things CT-wise but again, I've never trained or had experience as a technologist. Most types of artifacting I can identify or at least google if unsure, but for some reason I can't find anything resembling this. I generally just call it "cotton candy."

We have certain protocols for every scan:

  • Must be 1.25mm slice thickness or less
  • No gantry tilt
  • Must be axial
  • No patient movement

There's a few more but those are the relevant ones.

So, with those protocols in effect, is this still avoidable? Is it a crappy CT scanner? A reconstruction issue?

Thanks in advance

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.

Radiology program

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.
