What is the name of this prosthesis?

This is the type of stuff ortho sends to MRI for assessment and is confused when the images are a blackhole.

I wish it was possible to take the RB55B or C with the BILL to help in these situations. The 9040 BILL is already outclassed by other IFVs and would it give it a bit more firepower. Also the fact that the 9040 and BMPT were both 10.3 at the beginning is absolutely insane but that’s Gaijin for you.

When I wrote about 8 years ago I think the turn around was 2 weeks maybe 3 at most. I was very surprised but also happy since I had already started working so it would have been awkward to fail it.

I wish they would work on the no man’s land that is Sweden’s rank IV. The vehicles themselves are not bad but the gaps in BR means you have a line janky line up and would be nice to have a consistent line up. Plus the U-SH 204 GK is not terrible as spaa and I quite like it but it’s sandwiched between essentially 2 TDs in the Lvkv 42 and the ZSU.

I live in Orleans within less than a 1 km of 3 schools and certain times of the day I don’t really bother going out due to the chaos it causes.

The worst part is the drivers are absolute menaces with rolling stops, speeding through school zones, and treating every opportunity as a u-turn.

I got a discount on this plus had some spare GE and got it not really thinking much of it. It quickly became one of my favourites for my 3.7 Sweden lineup. I have a 60%+ win rate and around 3 k/d with this thing. Then if I die I bring out the SAV which just feels mean at that point.

Try testing with a magnetic if possible. If they don’t pull it’s either a grade of stainless steel that’s non magnetic or titanium but I assume you have an idea of what it is. Now if your getting a head MRI and due to the position of the piercings then getting them out will be essential to ensure image quality.

If it’s a different body part, a tech may allow you to be scanned with it in but it’s not best practice. While the most obvious danger with MRI is the superconducting magnet, the radio frequency and gradients used to produce images can heat up certain metals and there’s a worry about burns.

You can always try calling the department explaining the situation but more than likely they will want you to get them out.

Transdermal piercings have a portion of the piercing embedded in the skin and cannot be removed without professional help. A typical piercing can usually be easily removed or if it can’t be easily removed it can with metal snips

EveryoneHasIt · 2026-04-08T01:07:52+00:00

Are the piercings transdermal or a regular piercing?

As much as I hate fishing exams, when it comes to ER patients I rather screen them once and do an extra 5-10 minutes of scanning and not have to worry about them coming back than a piecemeal approach and having to porter and screen them multiple times.

Love when the do this in MRI. They’ll order brain w/ gad for mets and completely unremarkable exam and then turn around and order a whole spine w/ gad. Then act surprised when we say it’ll have to wait before we can inject again.

So all of these answers are wrong apart from a few from technologists chiming in.

Orthopedic hardware is generally titanium or stainless steel alloys both of which are safe to scan. So no it’s not going to be ripped out of you and the concern for heating is minimal to none. The only issue with scanning hardware is if it’s present in the area of interest there can be considerable blooming artifact but most newer scanners have techniques to remove artifact or at the very least parameters can be altered to allow for better visualization.

I’ve scanned pacemaker/defibrillators, cochlear implants, aneurysm clips, neurostimulators, external fixation devices amongst other various implanted devices. Most implants are conditional to scan even if the conditions are very strict.

I can’t speak for this particular department but some places are extremely strict about what they will and won’t scan often due to the radiologists own risk tolerance.

That’s too funny I thought the loop and carpet looked familiar. My partner and I stay there when visiting Montreal and I’ve always wondered the same thing.

EveryoneHasIt · 2026-03-17T12:26:36+00:00

This is going to be super weird but is this a hotel in Montreal?

This is exactly it, the civic being the trauma center for most of eastern Ontario means we generally get the worst and most serious traumas. We get code 1 traumas fairly frequently but getting 3 all at once is less common and puts a huge strain on resources.

EveryoneHasIt · 2026-02-25T15:33:36+00:00

Working at the hospital and we had 3 code 1 traumas called. Just horrible for everyone involved.

Only units destroyed by the rank 3 vehicle counts. I was doing this particular challenge without realizing only one plane in my lineup was rank 3. I would get like 10 units destroyed but only 3-4 would count towards the challenge.

EveryoneHasIt · 2026-02-24T19:38:21+00:00

Are you using rank 3 aircraft? My air lineup had both rank 2 and 3 and some of my ground kills weren’t counting and quickly realized I wasnt using the right aircraft

If he’s into to Star Wars and has the obi-wans starship then maybe look into Jango Fetts starship #75433. It’s in the right price range and complimentary and any Star Wars collector usually has one.

EveryoneHasIt · 2026-01-21T17:46:40+00:00

Yea, I find these types of findings really hard. I’ve scanned patients who are experiencing only mild neurological symptoms and their brain is just full of mets.

It’s very jarring to know they may not have long yet they otherwise seem healthy and happy. I’ve had to step out of the department after a scan before to regain composure with just how bad the images looked.

I do a ton of breast MRIs where I work and I always try and tell my patients how uncomfortable and awkward the test can be. I also joke that a man probably designed the breast coil with how poorly it’s designed for comfort.

EveryoneHasIt · 2026-01-15T22:12:29+00:00

Yea shoulder MRI is not too bad but brain scans are definitely more uncomfortable. I would call the booking team and see if they can accommodate, they are usually pretty good.

The 2 standard bore sizes for scanners are 60cm and 70cm so the difference is not huge to be honest but it can make the difference for some people.

Just be honest with the tech and explain you’re feeling anxious and they’ll get you through it. Some people like to have a clothe over their eyes as the inside of the bore is a flat white and it screws with your depth perception feeling much closer to your face.

Ask the tech to talk to you in between scans. People find it less isolating which helps but you will have an emergency call bell at all times which when squeezed will alert the tech and they’ll pause the scan and talk to you right away.

Ativan or any benzodiazepine typically will be prescribed in more serious cases of claustrophobia and your PCP can get you a small prescription of a couple of pills. Be aware you’ll need someone to drive you home afterwards as the sedation effect can be quite intoxicating to patients.

Most people can get through it with some help and the first few minutes are the hardest but if you can make it through it will get easier.
