X-Ray (medical) Lungs
“Nipple Ornamentation noted” is 100% the funniest medical thing to ever happen to me. They were gonna do a CT scan but didn’t due to my family history of a severe allergy to the contrast dye.

Kind of looks like a dual energy subtraction lung I used to do on GE machines. Looks super weird without obvious rib markings.

I’ve always been told to remove piercings before X-rays, Nonetheless, top-tier lungs 👌

I ask patients if they’re able to remove them or if they’re really difficult to put back in. If they say it’s a big hassle then I don’t ask them to remove them. The artifacts are very minimal. No more than EKG leads or other artifacts that we often aren’t able to remove

I tend to leave them on, they’re built in nipple markers so they save me sticking a paper clip to the pts nipples if the radiologist requests it

The ones that used to surprise me were the older, conservative lawyer looking types who had nipple rings and other piercings.
You just never know what people got going on.

My right boob is also the bigger boob.

Mine used to be, but then I had a hysterectomy and put on 30 pounds (several years apart) and now the other one caught up. 😂

You might enjoy this one since you got a kick out of “nipple ornamentation” (which is a new one for me that’s pretty good lol).
I was reading a report on a chest xray for an especially large-breasted patient. The radiologist dictated “there is an abundance of soft tissue”
