Could someone please give some context/explain these findings? TIA

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. TECHNIQUE: Bilateral 2-D and 3-D (combo) digital mammographic/tomosynthesis views were obtained. The 3-D post-processed and synthesized reconstruction images were reviewed. Images were reviewed with CAD. COMPARISON: This constitutes the patient's baseline examination. No prior studies are available for comparison.. FINDINGS: BILATERAL DIGITAL MAMMOGRAM WITH TOMOSYNTHESIS (10/20/2022): Scattered fibroglandular tissue elements of unremarkable appearance in the right breast are seen. In the left lateral supra-areolar anterior breast, an ill-defined area of asymmetric soft tissue nodular density is seen. In the left medial central breast seen only on the craniocaudad view, another area of asymmetric and slightly nodular parenchymal tissue density is seen. The patient will therefore be recalled for left 90 ML view with tomosynthesis and for MLO and CC spot compression views with tomosynthesis for better localization and characterization. Targeted ultrasound of any persistent indeterminate lesion the seen would be advised IMPRESSION: The patient will be recalled for additional mammographic and sonographic evaluation of areas of asymmetric and nodular soft tissue in the left breast as discussed above.

Age: 41 years Sex:Female Discharge Date: BI-RADS Category: 0: Incomplete: Needs Additional Imaging Evaluation Breast Density: Scattered fibroglandular Recall: Immediate Recall Type: Left Mammogram and Ultrasound

I got into the Rad Tech program!

I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/
