CAT scans vs MRI scans

[bevischief]

Just finished the 3rd CAT scan over 6 years and now they want MRI for the first time. What differences do these these pick up? Besides I lose at least an hour.

We just recently got a CT at our hospital and since I do t do x-rays anymore so my practical knowledge is still limited lol , so glad I don’t do call anymore the girls look stressed lol.

Our other ultrasound tech is pretty cute but for some reason a lot of the male patient ask for a mail tech , lucky me.

I had a girl insist on watching me scan her boyfriends balls, people are weird.

I always just take a nap during MRI's. Was in the f'ing tube for over an hour once time when they were scanning my entire spine.

Same here. Used to never bother me but about 3-4 yrs ago claustrophobia hit me out of nowhere. I've had about 4 or 5 in the last couple years, always for my ****ed up spine and always last an hour or more. 10mg valium about 15 mins before and a take a nice nap.

Prime candidate for MRI?

[crashcourse]

CT shows the bone and realtionship of the humeral head in the socket and the density of the bone
MRI shows the rotator cuff tendon and ligaments and bursa and the cartilage surface/labrum better

I was getting a pet scan every 3 months after my immunotherapy infusions. After the 3rd one, my insurance company started bitching about it, so now I get 2 ct scans, one upper body and one lower body every 3 months.

I specialize mostly in breast ultrasounds on women between the age of 20-25 , I have an assortment of flavoured gels available, pass the word.

I like to think I’m pretty good at training for those myself.

I had an MRI back in June. I was in there about 30 minutes but it damn near killed my back.

What are the advantages of MRI?
Where MRI really excels is showing certain diseases that a CT scan cannot detect. Some cancers, such as prostate cancer, uterine cancer, and certain liver cancers, are pretty much invisible or very hard to detect on a CT scan. Metastases to the bone and brain also show up better on an MRI. This imaging is also used for many purposes unrelated to cancer, including injuries to soft tissue or joints, and injury or disease of internal organs including the brain, heart, and digestive organs.

Schmo, shut the **** up. You’re functionally reeruned and don’t know what the **** you’re talking about.

If anybody wanted to know about imaging the inside of a trans hookers molded vagina, the board would gladly come to you as the Britannica.

Until that’s asked, eat a dick.

**** you you jealous douche.

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.
