Recently I started a new job, in a private practice, and had a request form for a Ba Enema on a 16 yr female with a history of "acute constipation." Does anyone else think that that is inappropriate? What ethical rights do we have as technicians to question a GPs request, when in a private practice profit (sometimes) comes first?? Please give me some feedback on this subject. The radiologist said that legally if he refused and something was missed as a result, we could be seen to be in the wrong for NOT doing the test. But to me, she was 16 and only had a case of constipation. Surely the prep would have subsided her symptoms...

I need some help. I have some recorded values for lumbar spine projections. Using automatic exposure device which is set at 90Kv it gave 48.6mAs. This sounds like a high mAs for a thin old man. Should it be this high?

This would be an excellent learning opportunity for anyone who has never had any formal instruction on digital or computed radiography...
https://www.asrt.org/Applications/ODIA/ODIALogin.aspx 15 FREE CEU's are available from the newly formed Online Digital Imaging Academy. These CEU's are organized into 11 different modules, and take an estimated time of 15 hours to complete. If you are already a Registered member of the ARRT, they are free to you, and if you are a member of the ASRT, your CEU's will be automatically tracked for you. This should be great for the technologist who has never had any formal instruction in the digital imaging media, and promotes safe and effective usage of the latest technology in the imaging world. |

Hello all! Would like to know where to look for positioning/ir/tube angles/techniques for the the very limited capacity patients to get the best possible films. I've accepted a position with a mobile imaging company and will be going to senior citizens centers and will be working by myself, all bedside. Would like to expand my skills on the not so conventional positioning for the immobile, wheelchair, obese, limited movement patient...core and extremities. Of course there will be additional training, but I would like to tap in to the minds experienced radiographers out there to reduce my learning curve. Any suggestions?

Hello all,
With the advancement of Computed Radiography and the ability to "window" image, some Radiographers believe that using Aluminium filters is no longer necessary. I wanted to find out more about the effects on radiation dose caused by using Aluminium filters. For example, would the area covered by the aluminium receive a lower dose because the beam is attenuated, or would this result in more photons being deposited in the patient? Also, would the filter cause more scattered radiation, possibly reaching areas away from the primary beam. I have nearly graduated university and would like to refine my technique before entering practice. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Having been taught to do abdomens on expiration I've been questioned by other radiographers about why and unable to give a good reason beyond the rather vague "everything gets compressed more with inspiration".
Inspiration has the advantage of being more likely to get the diaphragm on, which is often maintained to be necessary for an adequate image. So is there really much of a case for doing them on expiration?

Today is International Radiography Day ( 8th November) - Imaging departments around the world are taking the opportunity to educate the public about radiology and what radiographers actually do.
World Radiography Day is an annual, international initiative which is intended to raise awareness and interest in radiography as a career and to address the shortage of radiographers around the world. http://www.air.asn.au/html/s02_article/article_view.asp?id=397&nav_cat_id=-1&nav_top_id=-1

Afternoon, I am after some help, I am a second year Bsc Diagnostic Radiography student, it has come to the time of my course where I am about to write my research proposal for my dissertation.
I am planning on investigating Scaphoid protocol. My aim is to collect 10 protocols from 10 different hospitals varying in scope, I.e. Specialist orthopaedic centres, specialist trauma centres ect ect. However I need so help with making contact with the staff involved whom I need to speak to regarding acquiring the protocols, so I am asking if possible if anyone could pass me and relevant address/e-mail addresses over so that I could write to the people I would need to speak with. Kind Regards Anthony

Great page, thanks for posting it.
I worked as a radiographer in a largeUK teaching hospital for 13 years and was never, repeat, never asked to perform an erector decubitus abdominal projection (contrast studies excepted). Any ? perforation request had a supine abdomen and erect chest (don't even get me started on routine lateral chests!). As far as I'm aware, UK departments generally do not perform erect abdominal projections. So what does this mean? Are the GI radiologists and surgeons I worked with in the UK remiss or negligent in working without the erect views? I doubt it. I think more likely is that the supine view almost always gives as much information as the erect view - it's just more difficult to interpret. I don't doubt the erect view is useful, but you could argue that case to add projections to any examination. The important question is, is it really needed? Like any radiographer, I want to assist in providing diagnoses for patients, whilst avoiding harming them. It's demoralising to be forced to routinely expose patients to at least double the radiation dose they'd get if they presented to a UK hospital with the same complaint.
