Xray Tech Tips

Hello everyone, Given that most hospital's medical imaging staff is in the double digits, what's going on? Why aren't more rad techs, CTs, MRI techs, etc banding together for higher pay/better working conditions? I'm seeing so many of these posts over at /nursing submitted by /u/Patient_Orange_3566 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/s5s9dx/there_are_tons_of_nursing_related_to/

I've recently had this procedure done in the ER (sudden vision problem/headache), there were two scans, one w/ and one w/o contrast and doctor did not discuss the radiation dose I'd receive with me. I'm just trying to keep track of my total lifetime dose due to having had 2 CT scans earlier in life (for other causes/reasons). I've looked on the web but it was quite conflicting, I saw anything from ~2mSv to 15mSv. ​ Thanks for anyone who could help answer! submitted by /u/amy_sononu [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/s5pzbw/just_curious_radiation_dose_for_head_and_neck_ct/
