Possible stupid question regarding pediatric ct scans

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.

Onetonline salary search change?

Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

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?
