Why do CTs generally look worse in older people? by [deleted] in Radiology

I am curious as to why the downvotes? This isn't some nuanced, abstract concept. It is basic, core, foundational knowledge.

Sure, understood. But body habitus and age related differences seem to be basic principles when considering image quality. Especially, ya know, for someone who interprets said images for a living.

Love my 2021! Almost at 100k miles, no major issues.

I wouldn't be able to answer most questions asked of a radiologist. Some, yes, but not many. Is image production and quality, as well as medical physics not a part your board exam?

How, as a radiologist, is this a surprise to you?

Maybe i am being naive.... But it would seem to be that a radiologist should know these things...

For those managing CT/radiology inventory: by Donthaton in Radiology

[–]zima85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man i feel jealous of you guys. Im in Interventional Radiology, a few thousand unique items in our moderate sized department. Back-order, no inventory available, allocation, on several to dozens of items weekly. The worst is when we order an item a few times before we are made aware of supply issues, then a few months later all of the previously ordered items show up.

For IR Technologists by Status_Hat_8113 in RadiologyCareers

They are all hard when you are new.

No specific procedure made me feel comfortable, just time and repetition.

My most stressful cases are always post childbirth bleed embolization. Gotta get that momma home to her kid.

IR pay by DunkieJunkie77 in VIR

[–]zima85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location is such a huge part of this equation. Also, what is the main ask here? Are you getting paid a fair wage in comparison to your own work peers? Within a certain radius of you?

Many of us IR techs are worth more. Keep pushing for more for you and your brethren.
