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. Thanks! submitted by /u/xxDamnationxx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/h9oqup/onetonline_salary_search_change/

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.
