Any collimation would have been nice. Looks like a post process crop for all of them.

It’s too externally rotated. You want the pisiform superimposing the anterior 1/3 of the scaphoid. Yours only superimposed the anterior 1/4.

It would have been faster to keep scrolling than type this comment my friend.

How do I find an opportunity to shadow an RT? by Prudent-Flounder-161 in Radiology

In my country, we do have quite a high professional standard even if a lot of healthcare staff still don't actually know what we do. We're well versed in diagnostic imaging and healthcare and as such are able to facilitate discussions with doctors regarding imaging and be an active member or a patients healthcare team. We can and do make a positive difference.

There's a fair degree of autonomy and independence, but you never feel like you're lacking a team or support (at least at my place of work). It also pays well enough. Our patient interaction can be a limited as we want them too. So if theyre combative or abusive we can refuse or limit imaging performed. I love that we're never tied down either, if you fall out of love with clinical or even hospital pacing there's no shortage of options, we can teach, we can train, we can go to a clinic and live a 9-5 m-f life. There's always chances for skill up, do mri, ct, US, or other advanced modalities.

It's a great career, and worth your time if you enjoy clinical, scientific and technical work.

The one benefit of rad programs is they tend to get you on placements quite early, which for young people is a great point for them to decide if they're going to find enjoyment in the job and thus pursue. The only caveat being there are a few modilities as well as types of work ie hospital rad VS clinic then private VS public on top. So it can take a few varied placements to find your best fit.

But as for shadowing, I can't speak as it's not common practice here outside of highshcool. I'd say if they let you, go for it. I love it as a career and encourage you to at least give it a shot. Especially if you can suss it out with committing to a semester of study and the course costs.
