Interpreting Temporal Bone CT Scan!

By

Hey everyone, I am translating the results of a temporal bone CT scan (from Russian to English) and the medical terminology is a little unknown to me.

I would really appreciate just a brief interpretation of my literal translation, specifically the part about the mastoid process. It would greatly help me understand what I should be conveying. Some is obvious but I'm sure you all know far more than I do. Thanks in advance!

TEXT:

MSCT of the temporal bones, performed according to the standard program, revealed: - external auditory canals of symmetrical width, passable, the integrity of their bone walls not broken - tympanic cavities are pneumatized, with clear contours, relatively symmetrical sizes. The differentiation of the auditory ossicles is preserved, the contours are clear - mastoid process of the right temporal bone of the pneumatic type of structure, left - mixed. Contents in single cells of the mastoid process of the right temporal bone. The pneumatization of the cells of the mastoid process of the left temporal bone is not disturbed. Bone contours cell walls are clear, there are no destructive changes in the structure of the temporal bones determined - the structures of the inner ear are symmetrical in size, with clear contours. internal auditory aisles of symmetrical width, with clear contours CONCLUSION: CT picture of the contents in single cells of the mastoid process of the right temporal bone. Mixed type of structure of the mastoid process of the left temporal bone. There were no destructive changes in the temporal bones. Recommended consultation otorhinolaryngologist.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
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/

Question regarding ultrasound

By
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? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
