Since contrast is a medication is anyone requiring docs to order exams where contrast is explicitly ordered or is the exam done by protocol?

Hi Guys,

We work with a few teleradiology groups doing the reconstructions of CT and MRI images into 3D. .. If your radiologists are tired of taking their very valuable time to do these reconstructions please get in touch.

Left costophrenic angle is lower than right because liver is pushing up to right CP angle.

I appreciate the information and your listing. I am an experienced spine MRI teleradiologist with 10 years experience in interventional spine radiology. I have had a few years experience with upright, weight-bearing imaging of the spine. I found the functional imaging and weight-bearing positions be quite helpful as the dynamics disc bulges and disc variations change with weight-bearing. The capability of evaluating for segmental instability using flexion extension views is also an additional plus with standup MRI. I have found this to be a useful technology and most of my spine surgeons will use standup MRI for evaluation of many of their problematic cases.

You can save by consolidating equipment lease payments.
For example:
I successfully reduced a $16,000 per month equipment lease payment to $11,000.
Savings $5,000 per month.

To determine how much you can save

I need to obtain several references to apply to rad school. I have done about 8 hours of shadowing and wonder how I am supposed to obtain these profressional references. Is it proper etiquette to ask a radiographer for 3 letters of recommendation after you only known him for 2 hours?

I would imagine they get used to it.

SubjectQuestion about GI obtruction and kidney function.

Topic Replies: 0

I am radiography student

I read in my book that an obstruction of the GI can only be observed if a patient take oral contrast with a CT of the abdomen.

Yet, I have this CT techs telling me that an obstruction can be seen with just a plain abdominal CT without oral contrast. How is that possible? Don't you need the oral contrast to highlight the GI tract to demonstrate the obstruction?

My other question is about the kidneys. If the BUN and Creatinine levels are not correct (kidney functioning incorrectly) i understand you cannot give iodine thru IV for a CT scan but you can give it orally. Why?

Would'nt the iodine eventually reach the blood stream and then to the "incorrectly functioning" kidneys and cause a problem?

Good thinking, interesting disucssion. But remember that this forum is not frequented by Radiologists or medical students who intend to become Radiologists.

This forum is used by Radiographers (Radiologic Technologists) who specialize in performing imaging studies, not interpreting them. We don't have turf wars.

Hi,
Let us discuss an interesting but crucial discussion about the future of radiologists.

We all know about molecular imaging. Well i feel that with images getting clearer, turf battles will be easily fought by specialists with greater confidence.

How right are my assumptions.

Please guide me.
Thanks
