Thoughts on THz, or "T-Ray" imaging used in the medical field?

I wonder if their will be a diagnostic use for it in which techs will be grandfathered into, or a modality they'll have to go back to school for. submitted by /u/Quick_Save [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/y82axc/thoughts_on_thz_or_tray_imaging_used_in_the/

2nd year RT student. How can I increase my speed with exams??

I am in the midst of my 3rd clinical rotation, which is at a very busy ortho clinic. We have in-house doctors whose scheduled patients need x-rays, as well as walk ins from urgent care and other offices. It is my 1st time doing ortho like this. I already am pretty certain that I highly prefer trauma/hospital radiography to ortho. I LOVED my hospital rotation. At this rotation, I'm learning how to really zero in on fine details to meet the standards of the ortho docs. And that's fantastic, and cool to learn. BUT...
