Question 2

i have cong. scol., a orthopidic surgeon says i have a 40 degree curve , a radiologist  says. 56 degree curve  the radiologist  opinion cost me a job?

Accepted Answer

Sorry: The radiologist probably read your spine study on a computer workstation that had electronic tools that made measuring the angle more accurate. The radiologist was not trying to be mean, just accurate. Would you really have qualified for the job with a 40 degree curve?

It depends: on whether you have an interest in taking X-Rays or doing ultrasounds, MRI or CTs.  If so it can be a rewarding career.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: What test is this referring to? Without knowing the test, it is not clear what this is referring to. You should get in touch with the doctor who ordered this test and find out what his/her interpretation of this result is. That way, you will have your diagnosis from the doctor who knows you best. Good luck to you!

Question 7

would you recommend people going into the radiologist technician field? is it true you need to pay to be re-certified every 2 years?

Accepted Answer

Radiology tech: I don't think you need to pay every two years. What you do need is a review of the several local programs to decide which might be best for you.
Make sure you have studied radiology.

Question 8

i am curious if it is common place for a radiologist to want to start dictation of a study before it is final/completed (all images and measurements present)?
