Possible stupid question regarding pediatric ct scans

By

So when my kid was one year old he was running and he slipped and fell and hit his head really hard. I panicked and took him to the children’s hospital, they did a ct scan on him and he was fine. Now, I’m concerned because I do not remember if his soft spots/fontanelles were completely closed at the time of the scan, it is possible that they were or were pretty much closed but it’s possible they weren’t fully closed yet. I’m not even sure if it matters if they are fully closed or not, and if it does why didn’t they recommend an ultrasound? My concern is, if they were not fully closed yet would this have made the scan even more riskier, meaning radiation was directly on the brain rather than just on his skull? I’m really worried at the thought of that and now the risks he might have after the scan. If anyone can help me with this that would be great. 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/

Radiology program

By
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.
