Mixing omnipaque and visipaque?

By

Working in an endovascular suite-

With the current contrast shortage we’ve been told we’re only allowed to use so much contrast each day, which gets to be a problem when some of the more intense cases need more than just a few injections. It hasn’t been a problem yet, but we’ve been cutting it close a few times where we finish the day with one or two injections worth of contrast left. Our bottles of visipaque are twice as big as our bottles of omnipaque so when we have leftover contrast it’s usually bigger. Obviously we shouldn’t give Omni to the patients who needed visipaque anyway, but is there a problem with giving visipaque to a patient if we already gave them a few injections of Omni? Our chief of vascular surgery says it’s not a good idea but wouldn’t elaborate on why and no one else here has ever heard of any issues with it. Just wondering if anyone here knows. Thank you!

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/

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.
