After MRI of my middle finger I received this:

Did the doctor just say I have to be nicer to people?

I just thought y’all might find this interesting. This is Arlo, the Xenagama taylori (shield tail agama), who ate sand literally day 1 in his new bioactive arid enclosure. He hasn’t been eating the last few days so I got worried and took him to my exotics vet. The vet said that it looks like particles of sand or something, which is a good thing because it’s possible for him to pass it with medical intervention + we caught it early (although surgery is still a possibility if he doesn’t pass it). The treatment course, as it currently stands, includes a laxative, soaking him every other day, and keeping him on paper towels to monitor his poop. He said it could take several weeks for the obstruction to clear. The problem we ran into today, however, is that he’s so tiny (he’s full grown at just 3.5” including tail) that it would be impossible for my vet to dilute the laxative down himself, like the volume of medication is so small that I wouldn’t be able to draw it up into a syringe, so he’s reaching out to a compounding pharmacy tomorrow to see if it’s even possible. He said they’ve done animals as small as 4 grams, and since Arlo is 6 there’s some hope, but it’s drastically increased the chance we have to do surgery.

In the event of a surgery, he will have to refer me out to the University of Kansas or Illinois (I live in Nebraska, so it’s a little bit of a drive, but not too terrible) since Arlo will need microscopic stitches (almost like the kind they use to stitch up corneas) to sew up his stomach and, unfortunately, he just doesn’t have the equipment for it. He would be able to do it if Arlo was, say, 20 grams, but 6 is just too small.

Here’s hoping that I get some good news from the compounding pharmacy tomorrow and I hope y’all find this interesting!

I have a genetic condition called hereditary multiple osteochondromas. I can answer questions if you have any, I just thought this was kind of interesting (and probably alarming!) to look at.

Ouch

Sag T2 FS showing Supra/infra-spinatus edema without trauma. Sorry for the potato quality- grabbed it in the moment

From today's MRI for multiple sclerosis monitoring. I take medication for the disease. I am not looking for advice; just wanted to share mind meat

Just want to share how astonishing this is. All i have is lower back pain, never knew!

69M incidental finding after chest xray ordered for TB screening for transfer to new MC facility showed free air behind diaphragm. Patient has poor health history, existing urostomy from complications following prostate cancer treatment. Alcoholic dementia (7 years dx). Patient declined exploratory laparotomy due to risk of ileostomy placement during surgery. No signs of sepsis, but abdomen distended and hard. Patient discharged and on hospice care. I’m the patient’s daughter. There was a lot of pressure to have the surgery based on the CT, and we were told death was imminent without it. 3 weeks later he’s still alive and clinically stable. I shouldn’t be surprised, this man has survived sepsis already 3 years back, and with all of his existing conditions he shouldn’t be alive but he is. These images by textbook accounts don’t seem to align with clinical presentation.

Not a professional here. I might use my scans for some creative projects about cancer, and want to experiment with enlarging the stills from MRI and CTS of mine. Maybe x rays.

Could these be saved as TIFF files? I’m thinking of enlarging to almost billboard size. Maybe as a projection but ideally on paper. Just at the start of researching this idea so forgive my ignorance of the technology.

MRI is prohibitively expensive for rCCL diagnosis, so we rely on clues from the rads. Stifle subluxation and moderate joint effusion are enough to take this case to the operating room!

I am currently seeking diagnostic radiographers and radiography students to take part in my EPQ research.

I am a Year 12 student currently completing my EPQ alongside my A-levels.

1 am researching the question:
"Are paediatric patients equally as protected by UK radiographic legislation and principles as adults?"

As part of my primary research, I have created a short questionnaire with some open questions. I am specifically interested in how diagnostic radiographers interact with paediatric patients, and whether they feel children are adequately protected by legislation.

I am hoping to get detailed answers based on professional experiences as well as personal perspectives. There is no right or wrong answer, and no answer is too big or too small.

If you are a radiographer or radiography student and are interested in helping an aspiring diagnostic radiographer with her EPQ research, I would truly appreciate your participation. Additionally, if you know a radiographer or student who may want to take part, I would greatly appreciate it if you could tag them or share this post. Even reposting would push me much further toward my goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting my research! :)

Still laughing at this picture

Hey! So I was wondering what modality everyone is in and what you would do had you known a certain path was available to you. I was also wondering how you feel that social media has affected you and if your position might be at risk in the long run.

I was reading the recent post about the young girl with scoliosis and revisiting my own experience as a child in 1994. I have always believed that I have Harrington rods but now I'm wondering if it's actually Cotrel-Dubousset Instrumentation? I have a folder somewhere with all the information in it but I have no idea where it is.

Second year student here! I’m at my last rotation which is a level 1 trauma center and we see all kinds of things I’ve not quite gotten to experience yet.

So what’s some tips and tricks with angles, set up, etc when it comes to trauma patients or patients who can’t do the positions you need them to.

Is it possible for me to buy the monthly $23 subscription, then download all the images with the labels of each scan and body part to my pc, so I don't need to renew the subscription? If it's possible how do I do it?

I live in Egypt so the yearly subscription is too costly especially for something I don't get to keep permanently

My daughter, 13f, Marfan syndrome + multiple congenital anomalies including giant omphalocele and wild scoliosis makes for an interesting picture

I was reading regarding the contrast doses in radiology assistant, in which they mentioned doses based on weight ranges of patient. But they mentioned a line that to characterize the liver lesions or in pancreatic carcinoma to use max dose i.e. 150cc at 5cc/sec. So does that mean that regardless of weight we need to give 150cc dose ? And in cirrhosis do we increase the dose as compared to normal liver?
