Xray Tech Tips

Hi everyone Does your institution have a specific “lay flat time” after procedures such as LPs, steroid injection, myelograms, etc. Trying to get an idea what other places do in terms of length of time and what may change that length. Thanks! submitted by /u/spirit_of_the_mukwa [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/yit2gg/lay_flat_time_after_spinal_procedure/

Hey all, I’m so excited to present to you the first 3 lectures in a series of lectures that seek to finally teach MRI Physics in a logical, intuitive way. Like many of you, I've been through the standard MRI physics educational curriculum, paid money to listen to people talk about spinning arrows to no avail, sought out answers from better educators online, but after all that felt the most basic question wasn't being answered: How do we go from those spinning arrows to a contrasted image. This is testament to the difficulty of the subject, and after hundreds of hours of research, blood sweat tears and profanity laced tirades, I believe I can finally bring you a decent explanation that will help anyone understand this amazing subject, from the curious layperson to practicing radiologists. And these will all be free for everyone to enjoy, we get nickel and dimed enough these days, just ask you share them with anyone interested. Link to the first lecture below, others available o

I know it's too complicated to condense into a mini tutorial, but I enjoy this sub even though I know nothing about reading x-rays. I'd welcome a little advice to get a sense of when an image is done right or wrong.

BC MAMMO SCREENING BILATERAL WITH TOMO EXAM: MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING BILATERAL WITH TOMO CLINICAL HISTORY: 41-year-old female patient whose maternal aunt reportedly had ovarian cancer at an unknown age. First live birth at age 35. Baseline mammogram. CLINICAL BREAST EXAMINATION: The patient reports that her last clinical breast exam was within the past year.

I live in Illinois and will be moving to Florida in the near future. My question is about wages in Florida. Are they going up since cost of living is soaring in Florida? Florida has the highest inflation in the nation because of the huge influx. I want to thank the people who I messaged about this. I make about 50/hr in Illinois as an X ray tech. I have over 20 years experience but still New grads at my hospital and those in surrounding areas in the city are making 31/hr right out of school. Let that sink in. Wow, that’s great and it’s fair. I’m not sure why the difference in pay. Most people think the cost of living is higher in Illinois . It’s not. It’s a myth. I pay 2200 rent in downtown Chicago. It’s a real nice place. If I wanted to live farther away I can get 1600 a month. Gas is same price. Food is the same price. Housing is the same price and probably more in Florida recently. Why is the price we are payed so much different? It makes no sense. So I’m gonna move to Florida with
