Last Week

Well, I'm in my last week of clinicals for the semester and finally have all of my comps and clinical hours finished. I can officially say that I am now pooped. It has been a long semester of mostly work interspersed with the occasional day off. I am ready for a break.

The lead tech said something that really stuck with me last week. She was training another tech on a MRA of the wrist and she said, "can you do a carotid? Because if you can, you can do an MRA on any body part. You just take the principles and apply them using the proper coil and the body part." I know I will never forget that statement. She is always stressing that in MR common sense will carry you far.

Thank you Cindy, Penny and Laurie!

CT and MR

I noticed something interesting last week when I was working PRN in CT. All the time I have been spending in MR is really helping me with my reformats in CT. I think all the time spent thinking in 3 planes is starting to pay off. I noticed I was completing my reformats much more quickly last week, and they looked much better too.

I am working on Lumbar spines now and chugging along toward comp #2. I've been working a lot of hours between my weekend job, CT PRN and MR clinicals. I'm getting tired!
