What are the X ray machines like at your sites?

In my classes we use digital imaging, but still have to do our own collimation, manually position the x ray tube, and think about what techical factors we are going to be using. At the clinical site though, the collimator opens at the size of the projection selected on the computer, and the computer does the technical factors. Thankfully positioning and detenting is still done by the radiographer, but apparently some hospitals have tubes that are completely automated and the technologist positions and does patient care, but does nothing with the x ray. As someone who is very hands on and wants to actually do what I am learning in school, this really worries me. What does everyone here think about these developments?

Onetonline salary search change?

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

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/
