Abdominal CT scan with Vertical Linear Tubular Structure??

Abdominal CT scan with Vertical Linear Tubular Structure??

Hello Everyone,

This is my first time posting on this sub and I was hoping to get a little insight on my recent abdominal CT scan. The report was clear except for an impression. Per the report:

"There is dilated tubular linear vertical structure on the right side of the inferior vena cave. This is of unknown etiology. Follow-up with contrast enhanced CT is recommended.

Impression: A vertical linear tubular structure on the right side of the inferior vena save of uncertain etiology. Follow-up with contrast-enhanced CT is recommended."

I'm not sure what to make of this, the Dr that went over my results said there is something there that needs further clarification. I understand the need for further review and scheduled the contrast CT, I just wish I had some more info. Anyone out there that has seen similar wording or understand what the radiologist meant? Dr said it could have been an error as well.

The reason I had the CT scan is due to my abdominal troubles this year, and a constant right side pressure/cramping that hasn't gone away. It makes me think it isn't an artifact since its said its to the right.

I also had an abdominal MRI done in July and it had no mention of this. I understand giving any kind of advice on what I wrote is difficult but any guidance is appreciated. Its been a long year dealing with several issues and I guess I'd like to be a little more informed if it all possible. Waiting for a new scan and being in limbo is no fun.

Thank you for taking the time! Below is a snippet of the report.

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/

Radiology program

I’m from New York looking to attend a Rad tech program. I work for Northwell and recently came across a flyer for John Patrick University. it is an online AS program with clinicals in person (which my job will allow me to do) It seems as if this program is not accredited by JCERT but the school is accredited by ACCSC. I reached out to the director of the school and also the arrt and they say that there would be no issue taking boards. I haven’t really heard of anyone going through online program so I wanted to make sure everything checks out. Since this was being advertised at work I couldn’t see why they would put something that wouldn’t be accepted out.
