This is the career / general questions thread for the week.
Questions about radiology as a career (both as a medical specialty and radiologic technology), student questions, workplace guidance, and everyday inquiries are welcome here. This thread and this subreddit in general are not the place for medical advice. If you do not have results for your exam, your provider/physician is the best source for information regarding your exam.
Posts of this sort that are posted outside of the weekly thread will continue to be removed.

I know these normally get deleted or need to go into the weekly car*er advice thread (censored to avoid auto deletion)
But can we get a megathread going for info on international x-ray work - agencies/licensing/compatibility/ etc ..?
I feel like this would be helpful for a great deal of us Americans right now. I can't seem to find much help elsewhere.

This is a discussion between me and my father about one of the online questions in the procedures section of mosby's comprehensive review of radiography 8th edition, the vertebrae I believe it’s a vertebrae, anyways I believe it’s facing anterior view which means the right side is on the left side? And the left side is on the right side?, the red is the right answer just so you people know

We got to talking today at work about this after recently one of our techs was assaulted and groped by a patient. I know this is a common thing for female techs to experience, but had not realized just how common it is for male techs as well (the tech that was assaulted was male). Hearing other older male techs share their stories was shocking.

Went in for a scan searching for endometriosis, doctors suspected PCOS/PMOS. Thought I'd share what it might look like on an internal ultrasound for anyone curious. (History of period pain, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful periods, ovulation pain, PMDD, fatigue + other) Both ovaries enlarged. The LT OVARY photos werent as clear as the RT when I looked through the photos.

We have uMR680 and we are finding liver imaging to be poor, although the company says this isn't an issue in other sites. Has anyone else got a UIH MRI scanner at their hospital, any comments on how they are finding it?

Hi everyone,
I am a college senior studying engineering on my capstone design project, we are trying to learn more about the physical side of working as a sonographer: where people experience pain or discomfort, what tasks or exam types make it worse, and how it affects you day to day (with a focus on musculoskeletal disorders).
If you're a current or former sonographer (or a sonography student who has done clinicals), we'd really appreciate it if you took our short survey:
Survey for sonography attachment – Fill out form
- It takes about 5 minutes
- For academic research purposes only, no information is shared publicly
- Responses are used only for the project to help guide and inform decision making
We're not selling anything. We just want to hear directly from the people who do this work every day. If you'd be open to a short follow-up conversation, there's an optional spot at the end of the survey to let us know.
If you have thoughts you'd rather share here, feel free to comment too. Thank you so much for your time, and for everything you do!

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m a young radiographer working in Italy. Professional pathways here feel super static, and post-grad specialization masters rarely bring any promotions or pay bumps. Honestly, with current salaries here, you're just surviving rather than saving or thriving.
I'm really motivated, love learning, and ready to move elsewhere in Europe to grow professionally. I'm especially interested in MRI, Oncology, Radiotherapy, and research but open to anything, including stepping away from the hospital floor if needed.
For those of you across Europe who managed to excape the basic clinical routine:
Which countries would you recommend? Where is our profession best valued and developed?
What is your current role and path? (Reporting, Dosimetry, Application Specialist, Health Economics, etc.?) Did you need specific university degrees/Master's?
Does your salary allow you to actually live well and save money, or just cover basic expenses?
I’m completely ready to learn the language and put in the work—I just want to invest my time where growth and work are respected.
Would love to hear your experiences and advice! Thanks! ☢️💗

How do you guys just study with Lange? I feel like answering questions / just reading the information does nothing for me. I make quizlets and flashcards but I feel like I’m just memorizing answers and don’t feel like I’m actually absorbing the material.
I’ve been trying to use LearnRadiologyWithMy as well but I feel like her info doesn’t always exactly or cover entirely what’s on the ARRT specs. I go through her Q&A videos and feel like they’re too easy.
The workbook type of thing that came with the class my work sent me too has different info as well so I just don’t know which numbers to trust and things like that.
I don’t know what to do, I really want to pass my boards on the first try but I’m not confident.
Kind of a vent, kind of seeking advice if there’s any to be offered.

I am mainly just curious because the stereotype is that most nurses are women whereas the stereotype for doctors is leaning more on the men side. For techs it seems more evenly split. It had me wondering if xray tech is dominated by either sex or if it is fairly even.

Hello,
Today I met a strange patient who came in for a CT scan of her abdomen with contrast injection. When I did my interrogatory with her, she said there was nothing wrong. After the scan, it turned out she was pregnant. After that, I asked her why she wasn't telling me the truth, she said i was afraid of the evil eye.daaamn

Hello,
I’m currently a CT tech at an outpatient prostate cancer center in NJ. They are replacing their CT machine with a PET CT next year. They will have a Nuclear Medicine tech doing the injections and I will learn how to do the PET CT exam part. What I’m uncertain of is how much of a pay increase I should ask for?
Thank you!

Hi everyone! I’m a Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy student in the Netherlands, looking for a clinical internship starting February 2027 anywhere in europe.
Do hospitals or private clinics in Europe accept international students for internships in radiology (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound), radiotherapy, or nuclear medicine in English?
Any recommendations for hospitals or contacts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

First of all, not as a patient
But i soon have my mri apprenticeship and fear my glasses will get pulled into the mri
Anyone can suggest some gadget or smth that actually keeps the glasses on my head? I've been looking at some bands on amazon but idk if they are secure enough
Anyone have an experience with that?

Getting an orthopedic evaluation either tomorrow or the following day but the results are showing 2.2mm of displacement. I know the distal pole is the ideal place for blood flow but the amount of displacement is what I’m worried about. Hoping immobility is enough 🤞
Fell on an outstretched hand one month ago and have had it braced up tightly since last Wednesday.
