Question about markers on an MRI (cross-posted).

By

Hi, cross-posting from the MRI subreddit. Like I said there, thank you everyone here for being helpful and answering the questions of nervous normies like me! Not an interpretation Q. I hope this is allowed.

I had an abdomen/pelvis MRI with & without contrast to locate a small mass that was detected on an ultrasound. (Not described as a mass on the report, but as a hypoechoic area.) The scan was done over 2 days because they couldn’t get a vein for the pre-contrast images.

I was told to place the MRI stickers/ markers below and above the mass, but I accidentally placed the bottom marker DIRECTLY on the mass… rather than below it.

Could this have obscured the area of interest, causing the radiologist to “miss” the area when viewing my scans? The report was unremarkable, though the lump is still palpable / painful. Thank you!

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/
