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
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?
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

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. 3/
