Tissue composition from CT scan

By

Hello, I have no idea if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm at my wit's end.

I'm a Master's student in Animal Science, and my thesis is about the carcass composition of lambs. My supervisor had the veterinarian perform CT scans on 10 lamb legs, and he gave me the 10000 DICOM files. He wants me to determine the percentage of muscle, fatty tissue and bone in the legs.

However, this is way out of my field (I studied animal welfare in my degree for pity's sake), I have no idea how to do that, and when I asked him, he didn't know either. Just told me to figure it out. I have RadiAnt installed but I don't know if it does what I want; I think Sliceomatic would but it's super expensive.

I would really be thankful if anyone could just point me in the right direction. I have no idea what to do. I don't know what measurements to take, I don't know what calculations to do, and nobody at my university will help me.

Thank you so much for any help anyone can give me.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

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/

Question regarding ultrasound

By
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? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
