The question : An enhanced CT scan of an adult head shows an irregular shaped low-density mass with extensive vasgoenic edema. Which type of tumor is this likely to be? A. MENINGIOMA B. GLIOBLASTOMA C. METS D. ASTROCYTOMA so I've narrowed it down to for sure not being A (no vasogenic edema with meningiomas), or C (bc contrast will be homogenous enhancment). Glioblastomas, according to my manual, has vasogenic edema, is multi lobulated with areas of central necrosis. With contrast, it displays heterogenous, irregular ring enhancement of lesion. Astrocytomas have little to no enhancement. However, high grade forms appear heterogenous, enhance with contrast and have vasogenic edema and mass effect. Am I reading too much into it ?

Hello! I am a recent radiolography graduate and I passed my ARRT registry on Monday! 🥳 I want to ask you all: when would be an appropriate time to start traveling or start talking to recruiters. My reservations lie in that I am nervous that as a new grad I am not going to be able to jump in to a new facility and bring as much to the table to the table. If this is the case, what is the appropriate amount of time to wait before reaching out? What is an ideal first travel assignment? I know most contracts have minimum experience requirements but most have been waived in my area due to staff shortages. submitted by /u/sunny_andbright [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/10lwfi5/wanting_to_travel/

Is it normal to have a reaction to a saline injection into the arm, before getting a MRI? This isn’t the first time I’ve experience this. About 5-10 minutes after the injection, my whole body feels flushed and weak. I start to sweat and then get chills. It subsides in time, but quite alarming. Note: the contrast came much later with no issues & I don’t think it was a heparin flush.. Is this a normal thing, have you heard of a response to and IV flush like this before? submitted by /u/exo-XO [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/10ksh0e/saline_iv_flush_before_mri_w_contrast_side_effects/

I work in xray and I also have a love of archeology. I'm going back to school for MRI/CT. I know that imaging is done for ancient preserved people/animals and bones. Does schooling exist for that type of imaging? Is it something I could specialize in and do full time? Or is it just a case of being lucky to get a couple month field assignment?

I’ve never had a quiz during an interview, but I have one tomorrow for MRI for a training position that includes some CT.

I can differentiate between T1, T2, fat sat and contrast scans but that’s about it 🙃 I can’t learn MRI overnight, she knows I’m not trained in MRI and I’ll be honest about my skillset level but if there’s something I can brush up on tonight to be more confident in my interview tomorrow that would be reassuring… submitted by /u/HazelnutIcedCof [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/10gp3ch/what_would_expect_for_an_mri_and_ct_ski

My son needed an x-ray on his arm today. The radiographer invited me into the x-ray room in the hospital, which I found unusual because they normally insist on parents staying outside while the x-ray is taken. Long story short the radiographer took two X-rays while I was standing next to my son and not behind the glass screen. I was expecting him to ask me to get behind the screen at some point. I've only had two X-rays in my entire life so I assume there wasn't any real danger to me, at the same time I kind of feel that maybe I shouldn't have been where I was when the x-rays were taken. I do apologise if this is a really silly question and I don't want to offend anyone, but I just feel that something not quite right happened. submitted by /u/TheSameButBetter [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/10gen9h/my_son_had_an_xray_today_and_something_happened/
