How relevant are those "blank scan is the equivalent to this amount of time on a plane flight or this amount of time in the sun" type infographics?

By

Whenever people question the safety of getting xrays or scans done I almost always see someone bring out the amount of radiation and then compare that to how many hours of sunlight or plane ride its equivalent too.

The most recent one I saw was someone saying getting a dental CBCT is like a fraction of a couple hours flight. Is that true? There are people that fly around for a living, is it really the same as getting like 2-3 scans a day or something?

people always talk about radiation concerns from x-rays but literally no one ever brings up flight or sun time numbers.

Onetonline salary search change?

By
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.
