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.

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.
