Unnecessary CT that is concerning me

By

Hi, my enquire is about the amount of mSv that I received during my scan of a pulmonary angiogram CT with contrast iodine. I was wondering about the total mSv that my body received and the amount that was absorbed by my breast and lungs. Does Total DLP equate to mSv that I received? I have BMI of 19 (52kg and 165cm height). Image says total exam DLP mGy - cm as 8.72 and CDTI vol mGy as 17.43. During the examination, I accidentally moved and put my left arm also into the machine which I am guessing will also increase the mSv that I received? I am a 23 year old female and the amount of radiation that I have received is really concerning me.

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/
