How to better explain to patients how x-rays work as a student?

Hello, im an x ray student and I was ask a good question from a PT. The PT ask why we are x raying the left side of the lumbar if the pain is on the right? At my site our protocol for lumbar is AP and LT LAT. The tech I was with said that x ray our 2 dimensional so it didn't matter. Could someone explain on how to better explain this to the patient and make it make sense?

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

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/
