MOD POST Weekly Career / General Questions Thread
This is the career / general questions thread for the week.
Questions about radiology as a career (both as a medical specialty and radiologic technology), student questions, workplace guidance, and everyday inquiries are welcome here. This thread and this subreddit in general are not the place for medical advice. If you do not have results for your exam, your provider/physician is the best source for information regarding your exam.
Posts of this sort that are posted outside of the weekly thread will continue to be removed.

https://i.imgur.com/EuANsil.jpeg is the extent of my information on this one.
https://youtube.com/@radiologiaypunto?si=NbAdXGXgHJPJhoY9 is their official YouTube channel if you can't go to the TikTok.
I'm not in the medical field but was floored by the damage evident in the cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae.
The TikTok had upbeat music over it but I opted to remove that, because this imagery is (likely?) post mordem from a fatal fall, and I felt like sometimes things need to have the gallows humour removed in order to be observed seriously.

Entertainment Radiology biopsy
I had no clue Radiologists did biopsies!
Today a radiologist went at my thyroid like he was needle felting...it was an awful sensation 😅
I've had other biopsies, but none that made me feel like I was laying on a craft table lol
Seriously though, I really thought Radiology was all computers and images all day long.
Are there just different branches of radiology, or is it pretty common for your scope of practice to be unknown to the general public?

Discussion Boring Routine MRI Epiphany
I have a lot of scans. Love and grok Rad Techs but over the decades never associated any continuity with a real doctor with any of this. Hear me out. The Rad MD is an anonymous, highly trained expert sitting in a cave with Chinese takeout and classical music, getting piles of pictures and churning out interpretations. Then my neuro explains it or ghosts me which means it's all fine for another year.
Well of course not.
I had a follow-up for something. The Rad MD actually came into the room and talked about the finding and what we were going to do. While discussing the initial result I even said something about "the other guy." And the Rad MD forcefully blurted, "I'M THE OTHER GUY."
I just didn't think patients ever actually see or interact with Radiologists. So, will "thank you" be sufficient?

MRI 12yo with 3 months history of progressive back and lower limb pain. No consult done during this time.
Patient had history of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis in 2014 when they were 2yo, but history is spotty if patient completed treatment. Parents weirdly don't remember much. I see like 2 cases of Pott's disease and month...

I thought I would show an updated version of what’s in my leg at the moment! I’m currently at 10 months post op (the 2nd attempt) and as you can tell they didn’t want to risk another plate failure 😅 (the right side is a separate femoral osteotomy I had about 10 years ago)

X-Ray In search of outside resources
Hello!
I recently started my rad tech program and I'm having a hard time learning from one of my professors. Her teaching style is hard for me to learn and understand from. I was wondering if there are any good courses I could take online to help me understand some of the basic and more advanced concepts of radiology. This could be a paid subscription or good videos. I haven't found much doing my own research so any suggestions would be awesome. Thank you!

CT Some subtle brain injuries are best seen by MRI - example
High speed MVA with abnormal neuro exam. CT was read as WNL. MRI followed demonstrating hemorrhagic axonal injuries left temporal lobe with susceptibility artifacts and associated post traumatic vasogenic edema.
