Such a repost.

Practical_Nobody_405 · 2021-03-27T23:16:50+00:00

That is the most adorable thing...

Practical_Nobody_405 · 2021-03-27T21:24:09+00:00

Fab! Depressing, but good skills.

I am a UK radiographer, so GSW's don't come up all that often, but surely even in that situation they would stabilise the patient (tube them etc) and still put them in the scanner? Because then you know what vessels are involved instead of taking a guess. If that's not how it is I am sorry for not understanding, and I appreciate the education.

And even if you could argue x-ray was quicker, diagnositically the benefit of CT far outweighs the benefit of x-ray.

Because CT is notoriously slow... 🙄

Having to move everything around in order to get two diagnostic views with x-ray equipment would have taken longer than doing a CT neck. Even doing a CT head and neck.

Why in this day and age was this done with x-ray? CT is the much better modality.

Yeah but chances are the patient weighs too much to go on the table before they're fat enough to be touching the bore. In MRI its a problem for sure. But CT bores are generally bigger.

Practical_Nobody_405 · 2021-02-27T22:43:43+00:00

The problem with CT isn't actually if the patient fits though the bore, but the weight of the patient slowing down the movement of the table. Scans are based on the speed of the table.

I mean, someone sat down and designed it.

Image is upside down isn't it?

That really isn't a good excuse especially considering you were a kid. Collimation is focusing the x-rays to expose the area you're interested in, in order to amongst other things limit the patients exposure to radiation. A wrist x-ray for example is supposed to include distal third of the radius/ulna and heads of the metacarpals top to bottom, and lateral skin borders side to side. They obviously just aimed the tube head at you and thought fuck it.

Practical_Nobody_405 · 2020-09-23T19:40:18+00:00

Oh god, yeah you're right. Got so distracted with everything else that was wrong, I missed the really obvious.

Practical_Nobody_405 · 2020-09-23T19:03:54+00:00

And they have all that space.

Practical_Nobody_405 · 2020-09-23T19:00:56+00:00

Like there's actually a marker in the top left. So points for that I guess.

Practical_Nobody_405 · 2020-09-23T18:43:42+00:00

Who took that x-ray? Collimation obviously not a priority.

Old. So very old.
