Rad Techs - Do You Enjoy Your Job

What made you choose this career? How long have you been working as a rad tech? Do you do x-ray or do you specialize in other modalities? If you could go back in time would you choose this career again? Do you see a lot of trauma? Are you helping with a lot of surgeries (c-arm)? Do you feel it's a stressful job or is it a good work/life balance? Any thing else you want to say to someone considering this as a career.

(I'm also considering medical assistant. The rad techs I'm shadowing have all encouraged me to pursue the career and not do medical assisting because the pay is not great with medical assisting and other factors. Im concerned with rad tech that I haven't seen enough surgery or trauma during my shadowing hours and what if I end up not being able to handle that stuff or the gross factor of lots of stuff. I've mainly seen outpatient elderly patients lots of hips and knees and spines. I've seen one code blue where the pt didn't make it and one lacerated finger, thats it in terms of ER stuff.) Thanks for your responses!!

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.

Question regarding ultrasound

Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something?
