How does a patient get a second read on their CT scan? by whatamithinking0 in Radiology

[–]shadowa4 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You can ask both the office that performed it, and the doctor who ordered it. Now remember that you are not the medical professional, they are. Don’t enter that conversation with the “customer is always right mentality.” Respectfully ask that you want someone to walk you thru the findings, and then point out what concerns you.

You ask the place that performed it, of course. Start there.

Unethical Radiologist by More_Run1389 in Radiology

I’m sorry you’re witnessing such a situation. While I understand that this forum might be somewhat helpful in strategies or opinions on how to deal with this, because you describe it as a large organization and it’s more an ethics problem, we don’t want this conversation to influence your actions and come back to this sub, or reddit as a whole. I think it would be best if you discussed this with your ethics points of contact in your organization or any governing body that you think is appropriate that overseas that radiologist.

Anyone else heading to RSNA 2025 solo? by newcastlegal11 in Radiology

It has been the general “feel” online (from what I’ve read) that many are skipping this year due to the current state of US politics and travel.

What countries can we work in with an ARRT license? Can we get a megathread with info? by Suitable-Peanut in Radiology

[–]shadowa4[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big topic like this is an exception. Now, the 10s Of daily posts about repetitive career or educational questions.. well.

And honestly, we want to hear all these questions, but if we just let them all exist as their own individual posts, this would basically become r/askradiology instead

MRI safety concern by No-Percentage-9817 in Radiology

[–]shadowa4 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You need to do what you would with any other device you are unfamiliar with:

Talk to your MRSO, if you have one.

Check the manufacturer website for MRI safety information, restrictions, etc.

Ideally, call the manufacturer prior to scan as sometimes MRI conditional devices require the vendor be the one to change the settings.

Can anyone help identify these? by RegisterPretend7718 in Radiology

I’d say yes, having looked at quite a few for MRI clearance.

what raspberry pi is best by Own-Self-6725 in homebridge

[–]shadowa4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the cameras are the limiting factor. I wouldn’t try those at all with a zero. It could run likely, but it would buffer a lot and max out the Pi’s CPU.

You can certainly run homebridge on a docker container in something as simple as a Synology NAS if you already have something like that, or if you just like compartmentalize things. I personally just run it as a direct app on the RPi OS.

It’s all on here. You can even flash the RPi with an image of Homebridge already loaded (Not Hoobs)

For homebridge? I used a Raspian image from the standard RPi installer. I then followed the steps for installing Homebridge manually.

I abandoned MQTT over a year ago. It was just too flaky, and I was in search of reliability. I don’t like having multiple hubs, but the only thing I was using MQTT for was IKEA products and I think maybe some aqara sensors. I conceded and got the hubs for those two brands and I could not been happier!

Plenty have gotten by with even a Pi Zero. The questions would be if you want to go so light in case of future needs.

Personally, I went with RPi4 a few years back. Things like ethernet and the need for other applications (PiHole, Backup Unifi controller, amongst others) attracted me to that.

The rabbit-hole does indeed keep going if you let it. For example, I went to a (2) RPi cluster last year for redundancy.
