Linear energy transfer and sieverts.

By

I posted a few days ago and wanted to say thank you for the help last time.

I'm not studying radiology or anything healthcare related but I'm working on a physics project. Also I'm bad at math and physics, but onwards.

So my understanding is that sieverts are a measure of how much radiation, type of radiation, and location of radiation in the body to determine the dose someone is exposed to.

Linear energy transfer is how much radiation is being deposited in tissue along its journey of being scattered or emitted from it's source.

These two are linked are they not? Or are they talking about two different phenomenon? Would linear energy transfer be linked to type of radiation and amount?

Or how else could I link them or talk about them?

Thank you!

Onetonline salary search change?

By
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

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/
