MEDICAL ADVICE!!!

If you get x-rays in a state/country you do not live in!! ASK FOR A DISC WITH YOUR IMAGING!! Doctors cannot just pull up scans from other places. It could take weeks to get your scans and discs that get mailed get lost All The Time. Ask for your disc, and when you go to get x-rays at the next place, give it to them

Innovative MRI technique 'lights up' pancreatic cancer

- By InnoNurse Staff -

Pancreatic cancer is challenging to detect early because the pancreas is deep in the abdomen, making tumors difficult to identify until it's often too late for treatment. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have developed a new MRI technique that could make these tumors more visible by tracking how cells metabolize glucose.

This method builds on Otto Warburg's discovery that cancer cells consume a large amount of glucose and convert it to lactate.

The new technique uses glucose tagged with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which is injected into the bloodstream. This allows MRI scans to detect the deuterium-labeled lactate produced by cancer cells, which conventional MRI cannot do due to the overwhelming signal from water in tissues.

The researchers found that this deuterium MRI method could detect even small tumors in rodent models of aggressive pancreatic cancer, offering more sensitivity than traditional MRI and PET scans. The approach could potentially allow for earlier detection and better monitoring of pancreatic cancer, though further clinical studies are needed to confirm its efficacy in humans. The study was led by Prof. Lucio Frydman and Dr. Elton T. Montrazi, along with collaborators at the Weizmann Institute.

Funny Radiology You Pose We Expose Dabbing Skeleton Radiology Tech Week Spiral Notebook

[bunnies-at-midnight]

our radiology instructor brought in cardboard boxes for us to x-ray and see what the surprise inside of each was. simultaneously demonstrating the need for multiple angles when imaging.

anyway, so we x-ray the final box and it’s a glove. the glove is filled with… a liquid. she has us guess what the liquid is.

“lactated ringers” no

“water” no

“milk..” …no

“pee..” no!

it was a contrasting fluid used in certain types of radiography. she was introducing it to us in a fun way and we had the audacity to guess that she filled a glove with milk or PISS???

Google has trained an AI on 300 million sounds to detect diseases via smartphone audio

- By Nuadox Crew -

Google researchers have developed Health Acoustic Representations (HeAR), a powerful AI model designed to extract health insights from the sounds our bodies make, such as coughs, speech, and breath.

Video: "Can we hear disease before we see it?" by Google Research, YouTube.

HeAR, trained on 300 million audio samples, excels at identifying health-related patterns in these sounds, outperforming other models and requiring less data for high performance. The model is available to researchers to help develop custom bioacoustic tools, especially in data-scarce environments.

One application of HeAR is by Salcit Technologies, an Indian company that uses AI to analyze cough sounds for lung health assessments. They're leveraging HeAR to enhance early detection of tuberculosis (TB), a disease that often goes undiagnosed due to limited access to healthcare. The potential of HeAR to improve TB screening and overall health outcomes has garnered support from organizations like The StopTB Partnership. Google's initiative aims to advance diagnostic tools and improve healthcare accessibility worldwide.

I’ve been seriously thinking and considering getting my radiology degree and going to Johns hopkins school for 6 months. Does anyone on here have any knowledge or experience with the process and the job itself ? Is it worth it ? To maybe getting into being a travel tech ?
