Need your opinion on a macropad concept that can improve imaging reporting workflow

Hey everyone, I am part of the ChonkerKeys project. We are looking to see if we can make ChonkerKeys useful in controlling PACS and maybe other radiology software. I write software, but I’m not very familiar with radiology software so any help is appreciated!

A bit of background: ChonkerKeys is a macropad with big buttons. You can configure the buttons to send any shortcut keys. A bit more details: there are three button sizes, from about 5cm times 5cm, up to 5cm times 16.5cm in size. There are two different ChonkerKeys sizes - one can accommodate up to 12 buttons in 4 x 3 configuration, one can accommodate up to 8 buttons in 4 x 2 configuration. Each button has bright RGB LEDs, backlit up to 16 Million Colors.

I have designed a macropad buttons arrangement for PACS system and created an illustrated rendering below. It covers some commonly use shortcuts from what I can gather from different forums, or advanced shortcuts keys programmed in AutoHotKeys to simplify repetitive tasks and improve workflow. Can you see if this is useful or if we are missing something common?

These buttons are not for sale yet - we are currently doing research. Let us know what you think? Any feedbacks are welcome!

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/
