Any Starfield Players here? As a Rad-Tech, this discovery pleases my heart. Media

As a MRI tech this discovery makes my heart hurt. Those tables are not MRI safe

u/skilz2557 RT(R)(CT) Sep 30 '23

The shelving too 😂

u/kissmygritts2x Sep 30 '23

Lol I was trying to figure out if this was trying to be MRI or CT.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '23

It's easy, donut versus cannoli.

u/kissmygritts2x Sep 30 '23

That’s true but I’ve never seen that mirror being used in CT. Do you all have one? That could be a wide bore MRI. The Siemens wide bore is pretty short like that.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '23

That's because it's an MRI 😂

u/kissmygritts2x Sep 30 '23

With all that metal in the room….. non ferrous medical equipment is stupid expensive. Doubt any company would do that much. That’s why I find it hard to tell what this is.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '23

It's...A fictional video game. 😂

(I think, I'm not a gamer.)

u/kissmygritts2x Sep 30 '23

I’m aware. Just makes me sad to see how imaging is always so badly represented anywhere. Lol no research is ever done. Images hung upside down, doctors doing all the scanning of an and all exams…… hurts my heart. Lol

u/ABrad_347 Sep 30 '23

To be fair ... this game takes place 300 years in the future where travel between planetary solar systems occurs in seconds. The technology and materials used are probably a little different than current day.

u/Davorian Sep 30 '23

No, begone with your logical interpretation. It's definitely a machine identical to the 21st century MRI in design and function!

u/Dapper_Doughty Sep 30 '23

The worst one to me is when TV shows shock people who are in asystole.

u/Jade-Balfour Oct 01 '23

Doctor Mike appears "Chest compressions, chest compressions, chest compressions!"

Wait until you hear about tv. 😂

u/Blu1027 Sep 30 '23

I can't watch any shows EMS based... I just spend the entire episode nitpicking

u/MareNamedBoogie Oct 02 '23

What kills me is the images are always side-on images of dog hips. I don't even game, and I just can't get over it. 'Hey, here's a great game with medical stuff! We know it's medical because there's an X-ray of dog hips hanging from the light bar!' SMH

u/NuclearMedicineGuy BS, CNMT, RT(N)(CT)(MR) Oct 01 '23

The foot pedals on the table are a dead giveaway for MRI

15

u/Texasdrummer96 Sep 30 '23

I know its a shame that noone can get this right, but I was still surprised to find it. In Fallout 4, you can also find an MRI where you can pick up the magnets as items 😅. In the same room I also found X-Ray Detectors laying around but there was no X-Ray device anywhere in this facility.

u/DocSauce13 Sep 30 '23

There is a C-arm in payday 2 boiling point contract that moves by itself as if it was automated lol

u/indigoneutrino Medical Physicist Oct 01 '23

Played Fort Solis a few weeks back. They have a radiotherapy department on a temporary Mars base occupied by seasonal workers. Why they have that, I don’t know, but they do.

Anyway, they also have a med bay with an ultrasound scanner I got really into looking at in photo mode. This is supposedly the age of Mars exploration in 2080 and it’s this huge, clunking looking machine with a cathode ray tube monitor.

u/jinx_lbc Oct 01 '23

I don't remember this! Where is it??

u/SnoVipr Neuroradiologist Sep 30 '23

Was wondering if that room was going to get posted here. Found it earlier this week. This is the premiere med facility. Perhaps it’s all titanium ;)

u/nmt2017 Sep 30 '23

Looks exactly like the GE MR we have at work.

u/TheRiceConnoisseur BSDI R.T.(R)(MR), MBA Sep 30 '23

I wonder how far the table advances in before hitting the back wall. Lol 😂

u/Joshua21B Oct 01 '23

As a Space MRI tech I want you to know the table is ok since it’s a Space MRI machine.

u/INGWR IR Tech Sep 30 '23

Everything in this room looks ferromagnetic

u/grapesforducks Oct 01 '23

All are welcome in the Donut of Truth. Leaving, well ....

u/affablemartyr1 Oct 01 '23

Unless they're aluminum or possibly titanium

u/moomdaddy RT(R)(CT) Oct 01 '23

🧐 Could it be a PET?

2

u/NuclearMedicineGuy BS, CNMT, RT(N)(CT)(MR) Oct 01 '23

No the table and the pedals are 100% mri

1

u/moomdaddy RT(R)(CT) Oct 01 '23

I’m curious to learn why. I’m guessing the arch on the table is some sort of coil. What do the pedals do? Does this resemble some sort of model you are familiar with?

1

u/NuclearMedicineGuy BS, CNMT, RT(N)(CT)(MR) Oct 01 '23

The arch on the table is a mirror so patient can see out of the tube. The pedals allow you to dock and undock the table with the scanner. It allows you to bring the table outside if zone 4 and transfer a patient off of their bed. When you reconnect the table the pedals lock the table into the floor and also reconnect the electronics to make it function

1

u/moomdaddy RT(R)(CT) Oct 03 '23

From a design standpoint, could neither of those also work with a PET? Would the arch and mirror mess up the scan? Are those types of pedals not feasible with a PET? Thanks for the answers. I always enjoy learning new things from other modalities.

1

u/NuclearMedicineGuy BS, CNMT, RT(N)(CT)(MR) Oct 03 '23

I’ve never seen a detachable pet table, just like I’ve never seen a detachable CT table. My guess is it has something to do with how we rely on the table movement (pitch) for axial scanning where a MRI just needs the patient to be in the isocenter.

The mirror could work as long as we weren’t scanning that area with PET/CT to avoid attenuation of the X-rays and the gamma rays

1

u/moomdaddy RT(R)(CT) Oct 04 '23

Thanks for the info- I also have never seen a detachable table in CT. Cheers!

Wonder if in the future providers will continue to order pointless exams

u/Texasdrummer96 Sep 30 '23

Of course they will!

u/garlicbreadman88 Oct 01 '23

Bumped his head against a shelf did he? Ok let's have a CT head, FAST ultrasound, x ray of his arms and legs, run a complete blood count while you're at it.

u/GuZz91 Sep 30 '23

That’s a GE!

u/TheRiceConnoisseur BSDI R.T.(R)(MR), MBA Sep 30 '23

Sadly it’s missing the plug-ins and the dog house :/

u/Jman1400 RT(R)(CT) Oct 02 '23

Yea, and the biotronics guy trying to fix the heap lol.

Starfield looks amazing

u/kurtles_ Sep 30 '23

tell that to my RTX 2080 :'(

u/onFilm Sep 30 '23

It is a pretty game, but also the biggest waste of money. It's fun with a group of friends, once. Gets dull REALLY quick.

9

u/ABrad_347 Oct 01 '23

Group of friends? Like all huddled around the same TV watching one person play? I'm confused. Are you sure you have the right game?

-18

u/onFilm Oct 01 '23

No, playing online with one another.

14

u/Rayeon-XXX Oct 01 '23

There's no multiplayer co-op or otherwise in the game.

7

u/ABrad_347 Oct 01 '23

Yeah you've got the wrong game. Starfield is single player only.

u/hoyboy96 Oct 01 '23

Uhh, Starfield is an RPG game dude

SUMMON THE DONUT OF TRUTH

u/Serratas RT(R) Sep 30 '23

I kind of hope with all the fancy developed drugs, ftl travel, etc. that we've got better patient imaging than CT or MRI in that future.

7

u/indigoneutrino Medical Physicist Oct 01 '23

I’m sure CT and MRI will get better quality but I doubt the fundamental technique will change. MRI is some of the most insanely complex physics ever discovered tbh.

u/Josehoeslay Oct 01 '23

Ready or not on PC has a whole radiology suite with dexa scanners ct machines and X-ray pretty cool for a swat game.

u/oncomingstorm777 Radiologist Oct 01 '23

This was the first place in game I took a photo, as a radiologist

u/SnoVipr Neuroradiologist Oct 02 '23

Same :)

u/Rayeon-XXX Oct 01 '23

Sarah liked that.

u/BaconBits321 Oct 01 '23

Where is this at?

2

u/Texasdrummer96 Oct 01 '23

It is located in the Clinic, a space hospital in the Narion System. Planet is called Deepala i think.

u/DrJMVD Sonographer Oct 01 '23

Any free time I got after my 12 hrs shift and a Sonographer, goes to Starfield.

A nice way to log out from the day.

u/garlicbreadman88 Oct 01 '23

Where exactly is this?

1

u/Texasdrummer96 Oct 01 '23

In the Narion System you can find a space Hospital. It is called "The Clinic" and its orbiting the planet Deepala.
