A question for DEXA radiographers!

By

Hi all! I recently did a shadowing shift in the DEXA scanner within my workplace. However, I noticed that the room didn’t have a lead screen or any kind of protection for the operator. I was told this is because the dose is so low that it isn’t necessary but I’m still a little worried. Paediatric hospitals use tiny doses in their x ray rooms yet I’m sure they use lead shielding? I just wanted to ask if this is normal or if people on here do use lead shielding in DEXA in their departments?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
