Conversations of MP with MDCT and Oarm re #RSNA2022 meeting

MDCT: Hey doc, O-arm is on his way. We want to hear more about @RSNA

MP: I only have 30 min as I need to attend #IRB meeting

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?

2/ Image
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?

3/
MP: Glad you asked O. Yes, on Lakeside near posters, they had bands playing pleasant music. Even on Southside, they had people playing music during lunch hour

MDCT: What about that building you & your friends were standing on – I saw the photo doc

4/ Image
MP: That was a mural painted on floor & if one stand at the designated point to take pictures, it appears as 3D. We were not on any building top, just on the mural which appears that way.

MDCT: It looks quite realistic.

5/ Image
MDCT: BTW, my cousin's daughter said she saw your photo on a wall in one of your tweets. Hope it wasn’t on any shop or police station.

MP: No buddy, @RSNA R&E displays all their regular donors near donor lounge. Since I contribute regularly, they had my photo next to others
6/ Image
O-arm: Why do you donate doc? What is it for?

MP: Glad you asked, @RSNA R&E does such a good job of giving out scholarships & grants which are the basis for many radiologists, medical physicists to get bigger grants.

7/
MD: In fact, this year, the return on investments is 1: 50, which means for every one dollar, it leads to obtaining $50 worth of grants.

O-arm: Doc, you don’t need to explain what 1:50 means, we are not that dumb, we can understand.

MDCT: What else doc?

8/
MP: It was quite interesting but tiring. Evenings were great to meet friends & break breads together.

MDCT: So overall crowds have returned, & meeting was nice then

MP: Yes, I am already looking forward to #RSNA2023. There is still so much to tell you guys, but I need to go

Conversations between MDCT and MP re #RSNA2022 meeting

MDCT: Hey doc, now that you have rested and back to work, can you tell me how was @RSNA and what were the highlights of #RSNA2022 meeting?

1/
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

@aapmHQ
2/ Image
MP: As usual, the meeting was so rich with scientific information, however, many overlapping tracks.

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
@RSNA
2/
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.

Conversations between O-arm and MP re RSNA meeting

O-arm: Hey doc! How is it going over there @rsna #rsna2022? My cousin’s teenage daughter was telling that you are posting a lot on Instagram. What’s up with that?

1/
MP: Why can’t we #MedPhys not allowed to be instagramers? @aapmHQ

O-arm: I was just teasing you doc. As a teacher it is always best to make your students feel comfortable communicating w you, especially if they think you can understand them

2/
MP: Yes. Is that all or did you want to ask me something else?

O-arm: How is the technical exhibits over there? Anything new that I need to be concerned about, that would make me obsolete?

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.
@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/
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.
