I just took my ARRT x-ray exam and at the end of it, I got on 86, by how much does that acore change compared to the final score? Am I okay to start celebrating now or do I have to wait 4 weeks is what I’m basically asking

I love my baby Klingon so much. He’s the best baby.

Textbook case of metopic craniosynostosis.

Sharing because I’d never heard of this condition until it happened to my kid, and hope this is helpful for other parents trying to Google why their baby has a ridge on their forehead.

*don’t come at me for dark humor, it’s keeping me sane amidst a stressful situation.

Hi, i’m looking for hydrops sequence for Meniere’s disease for my mri. I’ve got one but mine has very low quality. If someone can send me sequence or examcard for philips 3T ingenia elition (or evolution) thank you very much

If you could only choose one, would you rather see the patellar-femoral space, or superimposed condyles on lateral knees?

Hello, I’m currently an X-RAY student with only 2 semesters left. My program is offering CT or MRI courses online. I’m interested in both but I mostly want to boost my GPA so I can qualify for the honors society. Which modality would be easier to take online? My program has a 7 point grading scale and it has taken a toll on my GPA. I am hoping to get an A in either of these courses. Has anyone taken either of these online? I’m hearing CT has the same physics as x-ray making it easier to learn is this true?

I’m a 26 year old female and I currently have a portacath in because I’m extremely hard to get blood/cannulate and I’m in/out of hospital a lot. The port is purely for access only,no infusions etc only for IV Meds and/or IVAB’s

My question is why Radiologists/The person doing the Contrast CT Scan give me/drs/nurses etc the run around with not wanting to use the port and wanting a cannula. Literally the whole reason I’ve got the port because I have little to none access (To the point anaesthetic’s/ICU Dr’s/nurses who are trained in only doing IV’s) can’t get anything even with ultrasound (I’m also hard to even get arterial)

I keep getting told that for a Contrast CT or even a CTPA (I’ve had to have multiple during the last nearly 6 months do to re-occurring aspiration pneumonia) they can’t use the port but in the end they always give in and do it via the port.

I’ve been told it’s because it needs to run at a certain speed and I get that but I’ve never had a problem with it. The port itself is contrast compatible & so is the needle/line they use to access it.

So does anyone have an idea as to why I’m having such a hard time getting a contrast CT in particular a CTPA?

Thankyou for reading and also anyone who replies I’m very grateful! Also I’m not sure if it makes a difference but I’m from Australia as well ☺️

I'm looking at using my CME for this year. Has anyone used this site? The rate seems reasonable if the content is good.

Good morning. I am a radiologist in Brazil. I'm 30 years old. Completed radiology residency 2 years ago. I would like to do an R4, but I had a baby this year and I was called in the competition at the university hospital in my city recently, which takes up a lot of my time. Due to my children and work, I would not currently be able to do a traditional R4. Do you think it's worth doing a postgraduate course in resonance? If yes, do you recommend any?

I am a new radiologist in my home country and I am gonna spend the next 2 years in ultrasound units in different departments. can u help me finding good books , videos and ANKIIIIIIII decks for radiology specially ultrasound because I don't know anything

Previous neglected healed sacral fracture, 29 female. Google image search couldn't even find one similar photo no matter how many times I tried, thought y'all might appreciate the odd sight. May my misery be your entertainment for a moment! Lol

Hello,

Seeing what folks are using out there for a scheduling app. Having a hard time finding an app that can share employee shifts between team members and updates as changes are made. Tired of updating paper calendar that staff can only see while they are at work. Seeing a bunch of subscription based solutions, but no free options. Does one exist?

For reference, fairly small department count - 19 heads. Thanks in advance!

Thank you all calming and easing my mind about my upcoming mri. I have terrible OCD and the people have helped me a ton thank you❤️

Do you enjoy it? Is it stressful to do radiology? Why did you choose radiology as a path?

Hey

I'm a second year resident in the UK and have just started solo oncalls in a major trauma center. I had a couple of big misses / incorrect diagnoses in my first set of oncalls / nights, and I felt really out of my depth. Just wondered if there's any advice to improve my reading of CTs?

I thought of coming in 30mins early each day, checking the previous day call CT list, reporting the scan in my head and then checking it after. I know this doesn't simulate the oncall pressure, but the idea is to see a large volume of cases.

Thanks 😊

I did a scan the other day where the HU for the PA on a CTA chest was 1200. I’ve never seen it this bright before and was wondering if anybody else has had this happen? Everything went normally but the pulmonary arteries were way too bright.

So I have a question. The other day I had done a CTA to rule out PE and I realized that the contrast was very very bright. It was a very good exam and went as normal however usually on my scans the PA measures about 400 HU but on this exam it was measuring 1200 HU and it was very blinding. I have never seen this before. Has anybody had a similar experience?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for guidance on technology or facilities that can process raw MRI data from a 2016 scan (done on a 1.5T machine) to achieve clarity comparable to a 3T scan. I have the raw data available and am specifically interested in centers in the USA that use advanced FDA-approved AI software like BrainMiner's DIAEM or Pixyl Neuro—or any similar solutions you might know of.

This is especially important for assessing the perfusion of brain fluids to determine the timing of my son's stroke (during or after surgery). The ability to differentiate between a brain under anesthesia versus post-surgery recovery is critical in this case.

If you know of facilities or have suggestions on where to seek this type of advanced image processing, please let me know. Your input would mean a lot.

Thank you!

I have about 20 tattoos On my: Upper chest Both my right and left arms A big one in my left thigh One in my right thigh An 2 on each of my calves.
