A silly favor (x-ray of a poker set)

By

I would love a photo of an X-ray of a Poker Set.

Story why:

Some years ago I flew to visit family, and thought to bring gifts. For one uncle i decided to buy him a beautiful poker set.

It was in a silver briefcase, had 4-6 rows of different colored chips, cards, instructions and a few other little knick knacks.

Great gift, BUT. I saw the serious error in my judgement going through security to board the plane. Send the thing through the x ray scanner with the rest of my carry-on thinking nothing of it; until I saw the X-ray.

OH BOY DID IT LOOK BAD! I see the silver briefcase silhouette with 4-6 cylinders in rows. (who knew chips had metal?) And random lighter things coming up on the xray.

I looked at the guy scanning, he looked at me. "I can explain..."

I very openly offered them to open it up, inspect it, do what you need to do! They scanned it with a explosive residue device, had the dog sniff it, the works.

Thankfully everything went over ok and despite everyone nearly pooping their pants a moment everyone seemed to get a laugh out of it.

I will never bring a poker set on a plane again.

But I would be very grateful if someone is able to Xray one because the image is so hilariously horrifying to see on the scanner checking in at the airport and would love to share when telling this story.

Ive tried google searching and the works but never found one. Maybe im the only one dumb enough to bring a metal poker set on a plane 😂😂😂

Either way, Much thanks!

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
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?

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/

Question regarding ultrasound

By
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/
