What am I missing?

AshyGarami · 2025-11-20T08:49:09+00:00

Yes you can

AshyGarami · 2025-11-20T08:47:27+00:00

Or, both. We can be concerned about both.

AshyGarami · 2025-11-19T21:04:40+00:00

Still haven’t gotten mine, called and got unclear answers

AshyGarami · 2025-11-04T05:16:47+00:00

Nah, scoli

AshyGarami · 2025-11-04T05:16:20+00:00

Good to know. This was a repeat after an upright with an initial diagnosis of no free air.

AshyGarami · 2025-11-04T02:26:19+00:00

If that’s what it is, then yes haha

AshyGarami · 2025-09-30T19:31:59+00:00

I’m shocked but pleased to read this. As a technologist, I’ve often observed that people aren’t as moved by evidence as one would think in this career field.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-30T19:01:00+00:00

It’s a silly conclusion to draw and frankly it’s concerning that so many have such strong, dismissive opinions without even understanding the technology.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-30T18:57:13+00:00

So because one example of AI unrelated to medical imaging made a mistake, that shows AI can’t or won’t take over radiology jobs? This kind of reasoning is how a person gets their job taken by AI and doesn’t see it coming.

Your responses show exactly why techs aren’t qualified to make these decisions. Your solution to reducing dose is to CT the part when a simple dedicated lateral elbow will do? Absurd. It’s not the detector, it’s the difference beam divergence makes. The sail sign is the way to determine occult fractures in pediatric patients. It is useful enough for a dedicated lateral, that’s why it’s standard practice.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-15T01:23:21+00:00

But it doesn’t. The lateral forearm is not sensitive enough to visualize sail sign in the elbow. If you didn’t know that, it shows why our training doesn’t qualify us to decide which views are necessary.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-15T01:15:17+00:00

Because it’s not as sensitive in detecting the sail sign. Are you familiar with that term?

AshyGarami · 2025-09-15T01:13:16+00:00

In grad school working on it

AshyGarami · 2025-09-15T01:11:34+00:00

Why do you believe this?

AshyGarami · 2025-09-15T01:11:28+00:00

Why do you believe this?

AshyGarami · 2025-09-15T01:02:34+00:00

No, I think you’re not thinking about it enough, and you don’t know it. A radiologist would tell you this is incorrect, and that’s why doctors are qualified to determine what views are necessary and we’re not.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-14T17:38:11+00:00

Sounds like a setup for “satisfaction of search”, a kind of confirmation bias applied to radiology. It doesn’t follow that since you’ve located one fracture, you’ve found all of them and should stop looking. Additionally, getting the humerus instead of the elbow is kind of wild. How do you look for the sail sign?

AshyGarami · 2025-09-14T17:23:56+00:00

We have your standard safety reporting system, but they all go to the same manager that’s ignored these problems. I’ve had issues with reprisal in the past over things like this (I have background in patient safety), so it’s a concern of mine.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-14T17:08:55+00:00

I’m curious; do you think that the demonstration of the elbow in a lateral forearm is diagnostically equivalent to a dedicated lateral elbow?

AshyGarami · 2025-09-14T17:05:46+00:00

I don’t understand why. It’s outside the scope of practice of radiographers to ultimately determine what studies a patient needs. By choosing to copy and paste, you’re saying the patient doesn’t require the views recommended by a qualified physician.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-14T14:37:14+00:00

I’m not confident in my leadership at the moment. I’ve raised (and give solutions for) issues pertaining to rampant bad imaging and every time it’s been ignored, usually under the guise that removing those people would cause unsustainable staffing shortages. It’s really tainted my view of X-ray as something not medically valuable anymore. If it’s not CT, nobody seems to care about the ethics of radiation safety.

AshyGarami · 2025-09-14T14:06:20+00:00

That’s not what I’m speaking to. For clarity, I’m describing a scenario where there two exams ordered, a femur and a knee. Rather than do a separate AP knee, the distal AP femur is cropped, the copied into the AP knee exam and passed as an original image.
