The most user dependent modality but also the least regulated .

Just because it doesn’t use radiation doesn’t mean it can’t cause harm but it does but the only people who use it know this and aren’t really pushing for more regulation.

You build scanners as an engineer so you think you a rocket scientist.

My escorts are better than what you're ****ing.
That's your pussy retort to anything I post. A one trick pony.

I know more than you tinker toy builder. Another person who thinks they know about me and what I know.

For the record scumbag, my paternal grandmother lost a breast to cancer, both grandfathers died of lung cancer, my mother died at 60 from ling and brain cancer, my father dies at 57 from liver cancer, my sister had aggressive skin cancer on her leg and had all her lymph nodes removed in her one leg, my two aunts died of cancer and one uncle died of cancer.

I've dealt with more cancers, doctors, CAT scans, MRIs, radiation, chemo than 95% of the people here.

So you can go **** yourself and take your shitty engineering degree with you blowhard.

There's the phrase "you're comparing apples and oranges." It's a useful phrase.

This though is like that phrase with an exponent. It's that phrase squared or cubed. It's like comparing hookers to ultrasounds....

Also, increase in dose can vary with certain radiolgist groups.

In this area, US Midwest, on ABD/ABD PELVIS scans, so many groups demand delayed imaging through the abdomen. So they inject, scan, get the series, and then wait on the order of 5 to 8 minutes and scan again diaphragm through the crest of the pelvis. And it’s done on damn near every patient. I can understand it on a trauma situation

That’s a lot of extra dose for low yield return on most patients.

Most tech will just look for hydro and not bother going further and tracking the ureter all the way down trying to find the stone , being also an X-ray my training just wants to try and avoid this patient getting radiation so I would say I find it 90% of the time.

Good on you for being thorough. In diagnostic X-ray and US, it’s totally dependent on the individual. I made my radiology bones 3 decades back. From darkroom processing to daylight cassette to digital. Incredible strides in a short period. CT and all that.

And it opened doors in education and employment that I never dreamed of in the beginning.
