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!

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.

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/
