Getting different answers from two different radiology places. One says to order a Brain scan and write in notes- pituitary focus. The other says write for a separate Brain MRI and Pituitary study. Can one of you pls clarify this for me.

Question for my fellow Techs - Do you ALWAYS angle your tube for lateral knees? I know knee replacements and standing laterals you wouldn’t but do some of you not angle?

Figured the people here might like this one! Something sorta ironic? I start my Radiography classes on Monday lol!

Hello. I currently do a decent amount of legal work where I’m paid on a per case basis. I currently use RadiAnt as a DICOM viewer but haven’t had any success finding a standalone dictation software. I’d like something similar to Powerscribe without the backend functionality. Basically dictation, templates and basic word processing with ability to save each dictation as a file. Does this exist? I’ve tried Dragon for Windows and it was very difficult to use. Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.

I’m afraid to admit I often still struggle with differentiating vascular channels from fractures, which I feel I should be better with given where I’m at in residency training. Any tips?

Does anyone know of an Anki Deck that has all photos from Brant and Helm? Would love to familiarize myself with lookjng at images / signs. Thank you!!

What’s the most lucrative form of this field, I’ve recently discovered nuclear medicine but it sounds like opportunities are known to be scarce.

If you had to pick one, what’s safer CT/MRI or NM

Hello from urology!

Question: for VCUGs do you all typically remove the foley for the voiding phase? Specifically when concerned for PUVs in a neonate?

Our rads department says that it’s ok to leave it in, but I have trouble understanding how we could really assess voiding with a catheter in place.

Many thanks, GU

Good evening, do you have any valid free alternatives to Radiopaedia courses? I would like to avoid spending over $400 for content for 365 days. Thank you!

Can someone help describe how my tube should essentially be when x-raying chests on an ambulatory patient? For example, would I be a little higher and aimed caudad with my angle or a little higher and ained cephalad-ish??

I know some people here enjoy seeing veterinary X-rays. Enjoy my bloated baby. And yes scooping the litter tray was just as fun as you’d imagine.

Does anyone know if or how the delay time from imaging to reporting affects reimbursement?

For context, we recently switch radiology groups causing studies to go a couple days without being resulted and of course irritating patients and referring physicians.

Anybody have experience with DWI and losing license?

My lovable idiot Jimmy got ahold of a piece of foam from the basking platform. Nearly ended up in a bowel obstruction, but Jimmy pulled through and is fine now.

Kitty was fine. It luckily missed basically everything important. They were stitched up and sent home. Rough day though.

Hello, looking to possibly move back to Utah but I am concerned about lower wages in healthcare. Any ideas what CT Techs are making with a few years of of solid work history are making at Salt Lake City hospitals?

hi! I'm a 17 year old going into radiology technology. I'm doing it because I'm interested. I'm also doing it because my family is genuinely getting on my nerves and i want to move out as soon as I can.

however, sometimes i see people talking about how they don't make enough money and now I'm scared! i live in PA and i plan to live in Philly at some point, but I think they make a decent wage.

my sister tells me i should be a radiologIST instead, and says I'm stubborn in wanting to "just" be the technologist. i don't have the heart to tell her that I'm doing it because i want to move out. is this a good choice?

edit: I'm also not interested in climbing a corporate ladder or anything. i just see radiology tech as a cool career that'll enable me to live the life i want, like doing community choir or theatre after shifts, or volunteering :)

Hey everyone! I'm a medical student doing research on knee replacements. I want to microCT knee replacements with small pieces of bone still attached from cadavers to study microfractures and bone ingrowth into the implant. I know that the metal from the knee replacement is going to be a problem in the microCT, and I'm looking for solutions. Would using some kind of x-ray attenuating coating like a paint or gel help at all for shielding? Or would my best approach be to try to separate the metal from bone and microCT them separately.

Hello, I am about a week and a half to take my CT registry. I got the Mosby’s book used and now I don’t have an access code to Elsevier Evolve. If any of you could lend me their profile so i can use the CT practice exams and question bank. I am willing to pay for it.

Thank you in advance!

25 year old male. What's your best guess?

Any help is appreciated

How optimized are current imaging systems in terms of computing performance?

Could some sick soul dive into PTX or assembly on their custom hardware and get 50% better performance processing, rendering, storing of CT or MRI images?

How many images will make cloud solutions unsustainable? Optimizing efficiency and performance don’t seem to be in the big cloud providers best interest?

With images growing exponentially and only getting more complicated, are there future bottlenecks that the radiology community will need to address?

Will it be hospitals pushing for new standards with improved efficiency to control their increasing computing costs?

Fully admit I could be missing something in how the current system will continue to scale

Thanks!

Husband's bday is coming up and I never know what to get him besides clothes. He started a new moonlighting gig and has the equipment set up in the living room, but I want to make it more comfortable. He uses a remote to dictate, I was wondering if I should get him a microphone stand? If anyone has other suggestions what can be a great gift or microphone suggestions that would be great' thanks

Swallowed a silver cross. Not sure if they cancel each other out, or work synergically as double protection.
