Cat eye nail polish and MRI

By

So I know obviously ferrous metals is a no go and that metal may heat up but I was curious about cat eye nail polish. Was wondering if it reacts with the MRI scanner at all. I wasn't sure if there is enough magnetized particles in the polish to cause an effect.

For example, I wear my 14k earrings in the scanner room all the time. Gold itself is non-ferrous but 14k is only 57 percent gold and mixed with other alloys but I know it's not enough to cause a noticeable reaction but then again I'm only going in there to get a patient on and off the table.

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/
