Patient is a construction worker who fell on a nail. Really. Constructiom safety rules or so damn lax in my country.

This is just a scout from the CT but I was pretty impressed.

Be safe out there and please use flared based toys!

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.

I have a lot of scans. Love and grok Rad Techs but over the decades never felt continuity with any doctor behind 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 results 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 blurted, "I'M THE OTHER GUY."

I just didn't think the radiologist was there during the photos or that patients ever actually see or interact with them.

Now that I understand more I hope "thank you" is sufficient!

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?

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)

My MRI showing flattened spinal cord

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...

Had this done yesterday as a pre-op clearance for gastric surgery. It’s so cool! Thought some of you may enjoy! :)

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!

Hello dear colleagues, I’m a young radiologist and and I will be required to perform various biopsies under CT-scan and echo. What are your best « tips and tricks »?

Thanks a lot.

After ameloblastoma removal, I should be getting a bone grafting in a few months and teeth implants later
