MDCT: Ok doc, tell us about technical exhibits?
1/
MP: Technical exhibits were again quite interesting, sprawling over both North and South side @MccormickPlaceM One highlight of walking through technical exhibits was meeting friends after a long time
MDCT: How was the sessions on #PCCT?

MDCT: How was the sessions on #PCCT?

MP: They were good, however, since there is only one vendor who has received FDA clearance, all talks were based on that one vendor for #PCCT. I wish other vendors get their systems approved for clinic use soon
O-arm: Anything new to keep all those attendees entertained?

MP: First of all, people have returned to the meeting. More than anything, I heard from many that attendees were very glad to meet their friends and colleagues after 3 years
MDCT: Seems like it, especially from all the photos you had tweeted

MDCT: But I heard you can access virtually for few more days.
MP: Yes, that is correct, how did you know?

Conversations between UL & MP re studies w & w/o contrast
UL-Ultrasound
UL: Hey doc! We have a new probe (7.5 MHz), & he keeps bugging me about studies w & w/o contrast with #CT & #MRI
MP: That’s easy girl. Why are you having difficulty explaining.

1/
UL: You don’t know doc; this probe thinks he is high frequency & don’t seem to agree on what I say. Just tell me how I can explain in simple terms.
MP: I will try by two images I took at RSNA. Consider 1st photo without contrast & then 2nd photo as study with contrast

MP: See the differrence
UL: Not bad doc, I will try explaining to him as you said. BTW, the #RSNA cutout looks good, please don’t mistake me, that is better than the one with contrast (2nd w you)
MP: Girl, you always pull my leg. I should stop talking w you.

1/Asking “How old are you” can be dicey—both in real life & on MRI! Do you know how to tell the age of blood on MRI?
Here’s a #tweetorial on how to date blood on MRI

2/If you ask someone how to date blood on MRI, they’ll spit out a crazy mnemonic about babies that tells you what signal blood should be on T1 & T2 imaging by age
But mnemonics are crutch—they help you memorize, but not understand. If you understand, you don’t need to memorize

3/If you look at the mnemonic, you will notice one thing—the T1 signal is all you need to tell if blood is acute, subacute or chronic
T2 signal will tell if it is early or late in each of those time periods—but that type of detail isn’t needed in real life. So let’s look at T1

Conversations between MP and IM (Imaging Modality)
IM: Hey doc, why do u guys insist on placing Aluminum (Al) or Copper (Cu) filters in front of my mouth?
MP: It is mainly to filter out some of the lower energy x-rays coming out of Ur mouth.

MP: It is mainly to filter out some of the lower energy x-rays coming out of Ur mouth.
@RSNA
1/
MP: Lower energy x-rays only increases patient skin dose & do not contribute to the overall image quality. Hence, by placing certain thickness of filter materials, we shape x-ray beam coming out of Ur mouth.
IM: Well, then why do U use only Al or Cu, why not Pb?
@aapmHQ
2/
IM: Well, then why do U use only Al or Cu, why not Pb?
@aapmHQ
2/
MP: Because Lead is used to stop all x-rays. In fact, Pb is used in collimator housing to shape the x-ray beam coming out of your mouth, so that it is within the desired region. On the other hand, Al or Cu is used to filter out lower energy x-rays, making beam harder.

MP walking with x-ray output measuring devices
O-arm: Hey doc, what is “Air-KARMA”? Until now I heard ‘Good Karma’ or ‘Bad Karma’, & am sure you doc have lot of ‘Good Karma’, then why introduce a new term ‘air-kerma’?

@RSNA
MP (smiling): Dude, it is not “Air-Karma”, it is “Air- KERMA (Kinetic Energy Released per Unit Mass)”. If you asked any of my residents, they would have told U.
Air-Kerma is measure of x-ray beam intensity measured w ion-chamber which aides to estimate patient risk.

@RSNA
MDCT: I feel that I am not appreciated, because of that I feel very inadequate.
MP: It is quite normal. I feel quite the same often. But we can’t let it dwell in our mind. BTW, glad you spill out what you feel, I am here to talk you through.

MP: U have to be proud of Ur actions. U scan >50 patients in a day, only limited by how fast our techs can put patients through

2/First some anatomy. Palatine tonsils (or faucial to the cool kids) sit in the oropharynx between the two palatine arches: the palatoglossus arch in front and the palatopharyngeus arch in back. These are easily visible on physical exam.
3/These archs are actually just mucosa draped over the palatoglossus and palatopharygeus musculature, like kids drape sheets over themselves to dress up for Halloween.

MP: why do you think it is bad?

3T: We need lot of helium, but I heard they are showing new MRI scanners that uses much less or almost no #helium than us. Both 1.5T and I are worried that we will soon become extinct
MP: I wouldn't worry much about that buddy. I am looking forward to checking new things...

MP: But they are years to come. Only very low field MR scanners (<0.5T) are rolled out that have permanent magnet & not strong like u guys!
3T: Either way let me know what you think when you return. I need to update my MRI Union people
MP: Ok, I will sure do
