Sialography

These examinations seems rather uncommon and it's somewhat difficult to find out information about them. I'm curious what the effective dose of radiation would be for the CT scan? I imagine the risk of contrast (besides an allergic response) is minimal compared to a typical iodine study as the contrast just navigates around the salivary glands and is completely removed at the end (assuming it's water not oil based)?

Is an MRI (without contrast) a substitute for a sialography, or is a sialography the best way to image the parotid gland?

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/
