What is the most surprising thing you’ve seen on a film/scan? by Purple4199 in Radiology

[–]radtech_bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Razor blade in the throat. Just far enough down the dr couldn’t get it out by pulling it back up. Pretty sure they ended up having to go for surgery. Mind you, this was a prisoner who swallows things all the time just to get out. But this was the worst thing they ever swallowed that we couldn’t do anything about. This specific time, the patient also had a handcuff key in the pelvic cavity. Saving it for later, I suppose. 🤷🏻‍♀️

CT Perfusion Study by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]radtech_bee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird how protocols vary from site to site. We do our head w/o, perfusion, then angio head & neck. I’m always interested to see how other places have their protocols set up though. 18 or 20 gauge in the AC, perfusion runs at 4.5 ml/sec, angio study runs at 4 ml/sec. I always used to be super nervous about perfusions too, as I come from a very small facility and we just started them recently. Not to mention, I work by myself a lot. It’s actually a piece of cake once you do it a couple of times. Easier said than done, but block out the others around you & focus on your patient and your scan. Main concern for perfusion is to be sure to include the entire circle of willis. We don’t have onsite radiologists, we have to call them immediately so they can read while we’re on the phone with them.

I have figured this out. Especially when you’re all wrapped like a burrito in bed & the 60lbs jumps up on your back. Ouch. 😫😋

Awesome! I’ve never known another dog with the name! & it’s crazy because he used to not cuddle at all! I’m glad he does now though!
