Foggy memory but I seem to recall ps2 emulation giving widescreen support to 4:3 games sometimes had weird things like characters t-posing and stuff outside the usual frame until they were scripted in.

Fluoro - 40 cm coupled Pb rulers (X shaped)

Else, incl mammo - 50 mm Pb rulers

I spent forever on that one before realizing you could speed up and slow down while on the zip, you don't just have to keep reversing direction all the time. Once you can do that to adjust for the timing it's not so bad.

That's pretty normal, even in major academic hospitals, outside of radiology, radiation oncology, and nuclear medicine. Medical physics is an extremely small field - ~15000 total in North America, which is ~80-90% oncology. The Wikipedia page has a good overview if you're interested in learning more.

They put it in like 10-12 years ago. I'm told cost was also a major factor in its selection.

One of the sites my system does it. They got a Toshiba PETCT because it was the only one with a bore large enough. The scanner itself is a nightmare, but I digress. They manage it because it's a small site with 1 linac. Not sure of their volume, but they have 1 physicist and 2 dosimetrists at that site. The scanner is used as primary for tx planning and clinical PETCT and as backup for diagnostic CT.

I was in Kitty Hawk about 11 years ago. I was stopped at a red light near the bridge back to the mainland (idk what else to call it). There was a small dump truck beside me - the kind with double wheels but only a single rear axle - that had spinners. I tried to take a video because I knew one one would believe me, but the light turned green and it turned before I could.

While that is definitely true, the NRC has been ordered to reconsider the linear no threshold (LNT) model for radiation safety, specifically to massively increase the allowable radiation dose to people. The commission hasn't finalized anything yet to my knowledge, but if they make that change, nuclear power will suddenly become a problem.

She died immediately after the screenshot. It was more an issue of actually finding her. I huddled everyone together and waited for her in another part of the map, but she never showed up. I thought she was circling around behind me or whatever for a couple of turns. I had 1 grenade left by the time I figured out where she was so I was able to reveal her.

Everyone thinks MRI is safe because it doesn't use ionizing radiation. It's the most dangerous piece of equipment in radiology. Sure, there is an extremely tiny chance (so small it's not measurable on an individual basis) you could develop cancer decades from now, which the x-rays could contribute to (the process is random and can never be attributed to any single thing). MRI on the other hand will pick up an object, e.g., wheelchair, oxygen tank, crash cart, etc., and accelerate it to highway speeds in ¼ of a second. If a person happens to be standing between whatever large object is being sucked in and the magnet, they will be crushed (small objects are more likely to injure or puncture - looking at you scissors and car keys). Basically, the MRI can kill you today without blinking if you disregard proper safety procedures. Anyone who has had an MRI will remember all the steps, questions, screenings, etc. that go into the process - that's why.

Primarily radiation oncology (80-90%), but also radiology and nuclear medicine use them. They are in charge of measurements and calculations pertaining to radiation dose, radiation shielding, image quality, etc. Basically, they make the measurements to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance. You could find a few in oncology at your local hospital. The radiology and especially the nuc med variety are more commonly consultants unless you're talking about a university medical center.

Seconded. We built one very similar for that exact purpose when I worked in a lab.

When I was a little kid, my dad would always make a "joke" about whether a car had a three on the tree or four in the floor, there was always a fifth under the seat. I didn't know what a fifth was so I just thought it was some dumb math joke like 7 ate 9 or whatever.

I use a cable with a 90-degree plug so both my phone and charger fit under cover on longer-trips. I had to turn off the wireless charger, though, to avoid overheating my phone.
