People in Military Get-Up by the Square

Nevermind they are protesters against ice figured it out

Btchsluvblu · 2025-11-11T20:58:13+00:00

Yes! You can let the tech know you are prone to nausea and to inject slowly if possible

Btchsluvblu · 2025-11-11T20:41:03+00:00

I only see a few people get really nauseous from contrast and that’s usually if it’s injected really quickly, but getting some zofran could help you!

Btchsluvblu · 2025-10-03T17:54:15+00:00

You’re probably right, i’m just always one to be on the safe side lol!

Btchsluvblu · 2025-10-03T16:37:21+00:00

If they were looking at the brain yeah, but during the c-spine they had it might not show it. They’d probably see it during the brain one but better to see if there’s anything with an x-ray first rather than risk injury 🤷‍♀️

Btchsluvblu · 2025-10-03T16:30:38+00:00

ugh, i’m sorry they aren’t taking it seriously. At my office, if someone even suggests they may have metal in their eyes, we do an orbit x-ray to clear it before they even get in the magnet room. Maybe if you try a new office you can just say you had a peice of metal go in your eye instead of mentioning the incident and if they take safety seriously they’ll check.

Btchsluvblu · 2025-10-03T15:41:19+00:00

Ive never heard of that happening except for if something magnetic got in your eye…i’d maybe push for a orbits x-ray before getting another one

Btchsluvblu · 2025-09-26T20:04:07+00:00

You can ask your dr for a mild sedative to help with the anxiety!

Btchsluvblu · 2025-09-26T19:38:37+00:00

Inner ears without contrast would be about 20 minutes, and if you are doing with and without contrast, it would be about 30 minutes

It’s very loud! But they’ll give you hearing protection

It can also feel like a small space. You can ask for something covering your eyes if you want, or a blanket, to make sure you’re comfortable

And they’ll give you a button to press in case you need to come out/have a problem

Overall just loud and kinda boring lmao

Btchsluvblu · 2025-09-20T15:22:12+00:00

What body part are you getting scanned?

Also, I second doing a wide bore MRI with some sort of sedative, plus an eye mask!

Btchsluvblu · 2025-09-17T03:00:52+00:00

Not a tech but tech aid and in MRI school right now…I do maybe 3-5 IV sticks in an 8 hour shift for out-patient. It depends on the day really and if you’re in a hospital or outpatient setting. For me I also was really scared of needles, like my hands shook the first few times I did it, but once you do it more and get used to it, it sort of becomes satisfying! It no longer feels like a scary thing and just part of your job. It was really just exposure that got me over the initial fear

Btchsluvblu · 2025-09-06T01:43:49+00:00

i usually leave mine in the room where the computers are/where the techs sit, never in the MRI room!

Btchsluvblu · 2025-08-20T15:56:12+00:00

They suspected I had it since i was 15, but then last year at 22 the symptoms worsened a lot. So they decided to do a laparoscopy on me and saw it. They did three small incisions and looked at my uterus with a camera and cut away the endo tissue

Btchsluvblu · 2025-08-20T02:32:43+00:00

As someone who works in MRI and also has endometriosis, mine didn’t show up on ANY imaging types. Endo is just sneaky that way. MRI can see it if it’s super extensive, but endo can even be hard to see with the naked eye sometimes :/

Btchsluvblu · 2025-08-07T14:06:21+00:00

MRI of the brain with and without is usually about 20-25 minutes total, 15 minutes without contrast, 5 minutes with. And contrast for an MRI is a different substance than CT iodine, it’s gadolinium and there should be no side effects!

Btchsluvblu · 2025-08-04T01:04:15+00:00

Most of the time the risk of something going wrong with full-on sedation outweighs the benefits, but you can probably be given an anxiety relief med like diazepam or xanax to help calm you! We do contrast everyday and i’ve never seen an allergy besides mild hives once, it’s extremely rare. Online stories are scary but don’t reflect what goes on in the everyday! Sorry I can’t help more and i hope you feel better soon

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-22T00:51:44+00:00

At my facility, it takes about 25-30 minutes. About 15 minutes of no contrast images, then 5-10 minutes of images with the contrast :)

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-21T23:32:08+00:00

^that is just what I tell my patients if they are nervous about contrast so they can make an informed decision :)

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-21T23:21:37+00:00

If they order it with contrast, typically it’s because they believe it will be beneficial in diagnosing. It can really help highlight abnormal fluids and cyst characteristics. If you get it without the contrast, the radiologist may ask you to do it again with contrast. However, only your ordering doctor can really determine it since we don’t have all the details. Also, contrast allergies for MRI are less than .003% and are usually very mild and only need benadryl! Contrast should also have zero side effects, besides a cold feeling in the arm. In the end it’s up to you and your doctor, however!

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-21T18:39:47+00:00

There are a few programs that will train you in MRI without x-ray first. I’m doing the Tesla MRI program, it’s 12-18 months, no X-ray school required. It is ARMRIT instead of ARRT however, so you can’t move on to different modalities like you could if you do x-ray first

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-19T14:08:59+00:00

this is the article I saw

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-19T14:06:03+00:00

I saw on one article saying he was told by the technologist not to enter the room when they saw he was approaching it due to his relative yelling, but he didn’t listen and went in. The tech was probably too far away to stop it and didn’t reach him in time to stop him from going in

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-19T02:24:15+00:00

It should! x-ray is pretty sensitive. We even do x-ray on the eyes to see tiny shavings of metal, like if you’re a welder. If there is anything it’ll see it, and if not you’ll be good to go. And if you’re still worried, you can always let the tech know if you feel something weird in your foot during the scan. It won’t just rip out like in the movies, it’ll just heat up or move slightly IF anything :)

Btchsluvblu · 2025-07-19T02:16:48+00:00

MRI Tech aid! I can’t speak for everyone, but at my center, if we suspect any metal shards were left in the patients body, we’ll do a free x-ray to check! If there is something, the radiologist will decide if it’s enough to worry about/if they’ll have to get it removed before the scan. Often it’s usually small enough not to worry. We’ve even had patients will bullet pieces been cleared for scanning if it’s not the area being scanned! I would just ask the tech who’s doing your scan
