Siemens Xcite

By

One of the sites I work at is getting a Siemens Xcite installed sometime in the next year. We currently have a go.All at one site and do not do pre-surgical orthopedic scans there due to not having a way to do measurements on the topogram per pre-surgical protocols.

Many of the CT Techs at the site getting the new scanner are concerned that the Xcite, because it has the same tech interface (or so we've been told), will also not be able to do measurements based on the topogram for pre-surgical scans.

So. For anyone that uses either an Xcite or a go.All (or any go platform), is there a way? And what is it? I'd like to calm the fears they have. Google is not helpful... I know we will have plenty of time with Apps when the time comes. But the excitement of finally getting a new scanner is getting bogged down by the concerns that it will somehow make life harder. (Seriously, the 10 year old Definition is soooooo sloooowww... and it keeps crapping out.)

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/
