Doctor: What do you see in this X-ray?

Students: *collective gasp*

Doctor: Please don’t do that in front of patients.

So this cross stitch of a hand xray is what I've been working on in between episodes of quantum leap and enterprise for the last 3 months and now it's kind of fitting that today im finally finished with it and I have one episode left of each show 🥲 it's been real fun... On to the next!

Just want to put this out there... If you are having dental x-rays or mammograms or any other x-ray above your chest, please ask your tech for a thyroid guard. It is a small shield used to protect your thyroid from radiation, which can cause nodules, goiters and/or thyroid cancer. The worst part is that you have to ASK for them. For whatever reason, techs throw them in a drawer and they are not part of the routine. PLEASE pass this info on.

I am not dead! Just severely exhausted. These past few years I've been crunching to grind out my prerequisite classes for my radiology program, and by the end of the year, after a rigorous entrance exam, I may well yet be admitted into the program! So while my posting might be severely delayed or spotty, I haven't forgotten this place.

On interventional radiology this week. It’s cool but my senioritis is extreme by this point and I don’t want to be in the hospital when the weather’s nice. This is my last rotation before graduation. I got my graduation robes in the mail the other day and I’m excited to wear the little hat.

It was my birthday recently and my friends gave me a big bouquet of flowers. My partner got me a new journal and fountain pen. My brother and his girlfriend visited and we showed them our neighborhood, did some touristy things, ate at our favorite restaurants, and watched the eclipse together. It was really fun and really exhausting. Getting back to my usual routine this week has been refreshing and restorative.

It’s been a long time since I’ve made a post on here. Life has been so different for me lately, for years I just wanted to find the comfort I lost before 2020, I felt so lost in myself and I found myself losing who I was. I loved school but I found myself asking what I was even striving for. Since then I have found my reason to push myself. I’m going back to school to study radiology and I’m going to have to re-enter the world of studying.

My life is so full of love and light now, and that’s the update.

Radley's sneaky spicy cheatsheet for imaging modalities!

X-ray

Super quick zappyzap! One-to-four images per body part in the UK, unless you're doing fancy orthopaedic projections. Fast, cheap, and very good at looking at bones / basic abdominal or lung pathology / size of your heart. You hold still for like, one second. Then - ZOOP! You're done.

CT

X-ray BUT MORE X-RATED! Much, much higher dose, because it's basically taking a ridiculous amount of x-ray images while spinning the gantry (the 'camera', so to speak) around you at very high speed, and then algorithmically compiling those images to create a 3d digital construction of your innards! Very useful for looking at internal organs, especially with contrast media that makes pathology all shiny and pretty. Sometimes slower & always more expensive than X-ray, but much faster & cheaper than MRI. Patients can't move for the duration (unless you're doing cardiac stuff that takes a picture only in the lull between heartbeats - very cool!).

MRI

CT BUT WITH MAGNETS (okay it's not really much like CT except that it creates slices of the body in all three planes). There's no ionising radiation! It produces really, really clear, gorgeous pictures that show off soft tissue beautifully! We like that!! But... it's also really slow, really expensive, and really claustrophobic. A lot of patients don't enjoy it, and who can blame 'em? Who wants to be stuck in a small tube for a half hour while it makes horrid boomy noises at you? And you're not allowed to move at all? (we don't even like you to breathe too fast or too slow!)

Ultrasound

SOUNDWAVES GO BOUNCYBOUNCE. Though it produces a relatively unclear image that you need a lotta extra training to decipher, the tech is super cheap and available, and it's very quick to use! There's no ionising radiation involved! AND you can use it for realtime imaging - so, you can see a foetus move as it happens, rather than this movement messing up your entire image, or having to be carefully planned around!

Fluoroscopy

X RAY BUT VIDEO. This is a constant (and therefore high dose) real-time 'video' taken with X-ray, which can visualise movements within the body. You can watch contrast media (shiny juice) shift around to ensure that systems are functioning correctly! You can watch surgeons push their guide wires/stents/etc. into place, to be sure they hit the right spot! Or you can inject Shiny Juice into the blood vessels and, with angiography, watch it flow around the heart/brain to find blockages!

Nuclear med

WE STICK THE RADIOACTIVE STUFF IN YOU. For instance, we give you a radioactive tracer in a solution with stuff that binds well to bony metastases.... and BOOM we can see all your bony metastases on a PET-CT/MRI because they're glowing red-hot! Or we IV a nuclear tracer into your heart and make you exercise/give you meds that raise your heart rate and BOOM we can see whether your heart has an adequate blood supply during exertion!

I’m on a radiology elective now, and it’s my first time in the reading room. I definitely understand the appeal for some people, but the environment is so soporific to me, I would be passing out every day at work if I were a radiologist lol. Someone should definitely make reading room ASMR though, it would be perfect.

#it’s so calm and dark and whispery #I can’t get over the idea of dictation ASMR #lowkey if doctors need an exit plan to get out of medicine #consider ASMR #there is a whole category of physical exam ASMR that does really well #so you can keep putting that medical education to use lol #radiology #medicine #med school #med student #medblr #my content #my text posts
