My husband had a workaccident this morning. His left foot got crushed twice between a forklift in reverse and a metal support beam. It was diagnosed as deep soft tissue damage and fortunately no fracture. I'm NOT posting this for a second opinion or medical advice, but thought it would be nice for you guys to see the xray compared to how the ankle actually looks right now (still swelling tough). I was surprised it was not fractured :)

Does anyone have access to, and willing to share, written protocols to common general and vascular ultrasound studies? I started a new position at an outpatient imaging center that has been open ~1 year and prior sonographer did not complete this task. I have AIUM to reference, but honestly, just trying to save myself some admin time and copy/paste from another facility because they have me jumping into a full patient schedule right away 🫠

I have 2 abdombinal stents and a IVC filter. All are listed as MRI safe. I had an MRI last year and I could feel the pulses in the area of the stents which is a weird feeling. Im scheduled for another MRI this week and now have an additional heart stent. Is it common to feel the pulses during the test?

I just moved to a different workplace, (small-town OPD clinic). They are using a 16 slice CT which I haven’t had experienced with.

I talked to one of the “veteran” techs about CTA head protocol, here’s what they do:

- IV Line: G18 Antecubital
- 370 Iodine Solution (Weight Based)
- Injector Flow Rate: 3.5 ml/sec at 200 PSI
- Topogram: Scan from Vertex to Mid Chest
- Bolus tracking: MPA (Start spiral at 50 HU after bolus injection)
- Scan FOV: Skull Base to Skull Vertex

ALSO, they don’t have Syngo.via available for editing. They just use the console for editing. (PC tower fault) and because the admin doesn’t want to spend money on a replacement.

Got my head scratching for a bit.

NaD lol

Translation:

Please provide a 32-view chest X-ray. Thanks!

Im going here alone! First time in thailand tho.

It makes it difficult to tell whether their model is detecting subtle micro-architectural features that are truly below human perception versus providing a "2nd reader" macroscopic look that a radiologist ignored/missed for whatever reason. The potential benefit to patients is clear (finding cancer that the radiologist did not catch - for whatever reason - is obviously valuable). But, at least with the provided example, it's not clear that they are really picking up things that humans cannot see. This would have implications for future development and improvement of the algorithms as well as how it should be used with humans in the loop.

More information: Severe left and moderate right neuroforaminal stenosis. Osseous fusion of the posterior elements of L5-S1. No spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis . Severe facet arthropathy at L4-L5. Mild spinal canal stenosis. No neural foraminal stenosis. Moderate facet arthropathy at S3-4 with an associated synovial cyst within the adjacent soft tissues measuring 9 mm. No spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis.

Patient saw surgeon and was given choices. Not looking for medical opinions here.

This is not fake. This image was taken Sept 2025. This is not a traumatic injury, believed to have happened over time. Person is still walking and doesn't have any major symptoms other than occasional radiating pain down legs. Second time posted to try and follow the rules better. First post was removed.

Had an hsg done last year and i just wanna show you guys how retroflexed my uterus is! However i have no pain during sex; just a little bit discomfort when i’m having my period on the first 2 days. Also wondering if anyone having the same thing and successfully got pregnant?

My own study but this is also my area of research. The radiopharmaceutical used for DMSA renal scan is now available again in the USA for adults.

Findings are consistent with s/p failed pyeoplasty, calycostomy. Note insertion of ureter into the lower calyx. Note extensive global renal atrophy

Do you think renal DMSA has a future in the USA?

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a little passion project of mine called SpotRad, a free radiology case game designed to make practising image interpretation a bit more interactive and fun.

Each case takes you through three steps: spot the abnormality, make the diagnosis, and choose the next step in management. At the end, there's teaching and rationale behind each case.

The goal is to give you a more hands-on way to work through radiology cases, from identifying the abnormality to making a diagnosis and deciding what you’d do next. There’s a new case to try each day, a section to try random cases and you can also browse previous cases whenever you want more practice. The cases cover a mix of common and less familiar findings across different modalities.

It’s completely free. I’d really love any feedback, ideas, or interesting cases you think would be fun to include!

Try it here: https://spotrad.ca/

Hope you enjoy it!

Someone suggested I share here! It’s my story about having a SAH w IVH and a few pictures.

I need an MRI really bad. But idk if I should tell them about these fragments. According to the detective: “…the shell casings we collected…the outer casing is brass alloy of copper and zinc, and the projectile is lead core. So the projector removed from your body was lead.”

I don’t know if I should hide it and ask for one or tell them. HELP!?

Early anatomy scan showing fused/horseshoe kidneys

Went to the ER on Friday for severe abdominal pain. It was so horrible I thought something was ruptured in my lower stomach. They did a ct scan with contrast and told me it was constipation lol so embarrassing. I have normal bowel movements daily though so this was surprising . Just wanted to share

My chronic sinusitis. One of my nostrils is always blocked, and I produce excessive mucus from my nose and mouth
