Does a CT angiogram only capture the blood vessels for the most part or does it also capture everything a normal CT would such as bone structure? I guess I’m asking is the angiogram part an add on to a regular CT or it’s own separate thing? submitted by /u/Poopinspectorgeneral [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/wctnpv/question_about_ct_angiogram/

I just started there a few weeks ago and every perfusion I have done or seen, about 10 so far, has had an IV in the hand. I have asked each RN, and even the stroke coordinator at one point, if they tried to get an AC line. They have told me that as long as there is a patent line that’s what they “always use” and the paramedics seem to always put them in the hand around here. I pulled up the ACR guidelines which state AC or forearm 20 or 18 gauge (page 6). Besides that, any other suggestions so that they can understand this isn’t safe or normal? I have worked in 6 different stroke centers and they always tried for an AC line while the assessment was being done.

I’m looking for courses in any and all modalities appropriate for a radiographer that I would be able to put on a CV. Glancing at post graduate courses they range from 10k upwards. If anyone has suggestions on cheaper courses that I can use to upskill I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey, I'm a radiology tech and am currently working in a tech-school. I'm sorry if I explain myself to complicated or wrong, English is not my first language! To show the students practical examples, we look at a lot of images from actual patients. For a while now I have notice a few mistakes in patient examination (fe. Wrong imagine, incompetend imagine,...) and wrong diagnosis (fe. A fracture wasn't discribed, mamma-ca wasn't mentioned). For me this seems horrible and irresponsible. Most of the pictures are a least a few month old, and I don't want to set on any toes since I'm not a physician but I Honestly don't know what to do?! And I don't want anyone to feel controlled by me just looking for pictures to explain something a bit better!! Do you have any advise or idea how I should handle this?? submitted by /u/rahel_ [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/wa9jsf/wrong_or_incomplete_diagnosis_what_should_i_

Center got a new Wolf My Shield™ Mobile Barrier. It's made of clear lead Acrylic 0.5 LE. Their website only states that: Lead-Acrylic is susceptible to discoloration from ultraviolet rays and chemicals in everyday use, such as cleaning materials... or even smoke. What cleaning chemicals are bad? Which are good? This will be used in the OR and needs to be cleaned.

This poor guy burned his arm pretty badly yesterday. He comes into our ED. The ED doc orders a forearm x-ray. in my 10 years as a tech i've never done x-ray for a burn. I wanted to ask her what exactly she thought she would see on X-ray but this doc is kind of a bitch. She automatically thinks you're questioning her authority if you ask a question or two about an exam she orders. Anyone want to chime in with what she was looking for. I googled it and didn't find any where it says to do x-ray for burns. submitted by /u/Chaser_McGavin [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/w8c991/forearm_xray_for_burns/

I am in my first semister of my radiography program, and am really excited to be working with x-rays. I enjoyed working with the fairly old school machines that allowed you to manually move and collimate the machines. I am kind of nervous about everything being done by computers, I feel it just makes things less personal.

Hey all! I’m in school right now to become a radiologic technologist, I start my first ever clinical rotations late August at a medium-sized hospital (or a community hospital is how I think it’s referred to.) I’ve got butterflies already about it, I’m a shy person IRL but I really wanna make a good impression and show the other technologists and the radiologists at the hospital that I really do want to be there and learn all I can from them. I want to be able to ask them the right questions and really show my interest in the field. Can any experienced techs or radiologists offer me some advice on how to behave at clinicals, and also provide any types of questions I should ask while I’m there learning? TIA! (P.S.: I would also appreciate any advice on what to actually bring to clinicals besides a notebook, water bottle, pens, and my mini Botranger book.) submitted by /u/sleepy_goat97 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/w54c2q/how_to_be_a
