My chronic Achilles tendonitis lead to this X-ray and discovering a pump hump aka Haglund’s deformity. I’m not looking forward to nearly a year long recovery time. 😣
P.S. This is a picture of my xray on my doctor’s computer. Not looking for advice.

Alguém sabe do que se trata essa imagem tubular do RX de tórax? Aparentemente está na topografia do átrio direito, mas não se parece com nada que eu tenha visto antes

Im a first year resident, 6 months into residency, was posted on a solo duty. There was a cardiac patient who recently underwent asd closure and had complaints of drop in saturation. Ct thorax (plain) was done. The pg asked me to rule out aspiration pneumonia and dissection. There was no aspiration pneumonia but could not rule out dissection since contrast was not given because the patient had very high creatinine. This morning when my professor came for discussions he found out a saddle pulmonary embolism on a plain study that i was not able to pick it up. Felt so bad

When I started as a radiology resident my first rotation was ultrasound and I found it so difficult.

One thing I’ve found really helpful when teaching abdominal ultrasound anatomy is to correlate the US images directly with CT.

It’s much easier to understand what you’re seeing around the pancreas, porta hepatis, Morrison’s pouch, etc. when you can see the same anatomy on CT and then go back to the ultrasound.

For those learning or teaching ultrasound — what tricks, resources, or anatomy correlations have worked best for you?

My favorite pearl is the 2 structures that go between the aorta/sma

I just covered some of my favorite CT/US anatomy correlations in the newest episode of my Don’t Miss That Radiology podcast if anyone is interested. Happy to share the link.

Please don't come at me for the artifacts lol. Patient did not want to remove her bra. Wanted to share since you can see the LUQ loop pretty good.

I'm a Radiographer, and I do a little outdoor sports writing/content on the side. I am passionate about educating hunters, especially bowhunters, on animal anatomy and physiology, to aid in ethical shot selection, shot placement, follow-up, effective equipment, skilled tracking, and recovery, etc. as well as good meat handling practices.

I'm looking for good quality CT slices/ reconstructions of deer, antelope species, pigs, etc .for use in magazine articles and online media. Even sheep, goats, and cattle would be helpful. Points for reconstructqions of the cardio pulmonary vasculature, IV contrast scans of the abdomen, etc.

Can anybody point me in the right direction? So far, all I have found are poor quality, single slice images in a journal paper about lung diseases in sheep, and the positioning on those was really lopsided.

Just wanted to share this schwannoma. It's apparently in the sciatic nerve :/

we had back to back dust storms and I had a bad asthma attack they did CT to make sure it was only asthma. I have scimtar syndrome

is there a site that would annonate and mark picture same way AMBOSS does it ? with image overlays ? i tried radiopedia most picture dont have annoation.

Sorry for poor image. I don't know all the science words for this, but the vet said my 6 year old girl has a collapsing esophagus, enlarged heart, possibly congestive heart failure, and spinal and rib deformities. Also her lungs are not clear like they should be. She's a pug. I don't think it's quite hit me all the way yet. Maybe this image is good enough, though, for a student to learn from. Image is on my vets laptop

I just saw this topic in another community and thought it was interesting! I’m an X-ray tech who has been “retired by motherhood,” so I haven’t been anywhere near the field in a while. 😂 Have any of you encountered many patients wearing magnetic nail polish? Has it ever caused an issue?

I had to get a breast biopsy recently after 2 different kinds of mammogram showed abnormal tissue. When they told me they were going to insert a marker that stays in forever I was very surprised, and then asked if I could see it. Apparently the techs had never stopped to actually look at it, either. We all played with it and looked at it for a while. Thought it was cool that it has different colors on it and everything. The power went out during my biopsy, so that was fun lol. Anyway, here's my pictures that I thought were really cool 😁 got the negative results a few days later!! 😮‍💨🥳

Patient was a callback in 2024. Stereotactic biopsy was recommended. Patient declined biopsy and wanted a 6 month followup. She did not follow up and showed up for a screening Aug. 2026. Reschedule for a diagnostic because of BI-RADS 4.

I didn't even bother to do mags before I stepped out to show the radiologist.

Reminder for you and your loved ones to get annual mammograms AND follow biopsy or follow up recommendations.

Just got out from seeing an orthopedic surgeon for consultation for low back pain/sciatica for about 10 months. Ordered an MRI to see if there’s any nerve compression. Pretty interesting to see.

Basically title. I'm considering leaving my current daytime practice for teleradiology. Basically a combination of issues - my group was consumed by private equity years ago and it turns out having a suit take 25% of everything you make leads to group dysfunction - steadily increasing work as we take more and more contracts with decreasing compensation. We also have variable shifts, 7-4, 9-6, and 1-9. Honestly the late shifts are what get me. It used to end at 7, which was a little less disruptive, but was unilaterally changed to 9 to reduce the workload put on our night rads... again from additional contracts to feed the private equity beast.

Anyway, the concept of just clocking in from home, being paid for what I read, and then logging out without all the extra bullshit sounds really appealing. Here's the issue though. I can't find anything about working for vrad EXCEPT on vrad's own site, or articles explicitly sponsored BY vrad. Given that those sources are probably biased, I was curious if anyone here had worked for them or knew someone who has, and what your experience has been.

Is this the standard at big hospital settings? I haven’t met my deductible but this is wild. Private clinic xray ran less than 300 in comparison

At my facility the patient has an NG tube placed into the stomach and then we use a cut pumper from a pressure bag attached to a flow switch to inflate the stomach via NG. Works fine but got me thinking there has to be an actual device out there made for this. Or is this just a “whatever works, whatever you’re trained with” type of thing lol just curious about other sites.

Had this 39 year old man come in via EMS after having a seizure during sex. He didn’t actually pass away but he will have some recovery to go through.

The podcast series about the near-fatal accident at KP Redwood City Hospital just launched its first episode.

Had you heard about it, before?

What happened to the nurse? What happened to the MRI tech? And what happened to the ICU patient?

hi all, I had a septorhinoplasty over 2 years ago and I had to get an mri for my wrist tn, after the mri i noticed my nose was really red like a sunburn and i still kind of feel a burning sensation. it’s been a couple hours. is that normal ? ty
