Septic emboli vs embolism

I have a presentation today and I’m so confused about this. I have a case study of a kid with Lemmires syndrome and the case does a CT with contrast of the neck and detects a septic emboli in the IJ my question is how do they know it’s not a blood clot. How can they be sure it’s septic because their blood and throat cultures come back negative? Thank you in advance!!!

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/
