1/Feeling mad every time they ask you if it’s safe to give gad?

Do you know which gadolinium contrast material is safe to give?

At an impasse about the contrast class?

Read on as this month’s @theAJNR SCANtastic answers the question: Is Gad Bad?

Regarding #radiology fellowships:

1. Move process to R4 yr. Why must #radres choose a specialty <2 yrs into 4-yr residency & why overlap w/ @ABR_Radiology Core?

2. ALL fellowships should be by @TheNRMP

3. App season should be MUCH shorter.

Other opinions?

@RadKatMD 7 moves and two countries later - thank you to whoever made this about the “growing hip” 😀

[ThisWeekNotNair @rtnrad]

@RadKatMD And it turns out that I have preserved others notes too (I’m guessing borrowed but you never know 😀)

How much do you know about mesenchymal tumors of the prostate and seminal vesicles? This is a broad group of rare tumors making up a very small minority of tumors involving the prostate and seminal vesicles. Follow along as we learn about them from Marcal et. al! #RGphx

[Year of MRI Safety @MrYearof]

These are above and beyond the serious injuries of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (requiring amputation) degree RF burns, crushing or penetrating projectiles, long-term hearing damage, damage to implants, to say nothing of MR contrast-related injuries.

[Year of MRI Safety @MrYearof]

If you're unclear what those risks are, let your curiosity guide you. MRI has killed people multiple ways... with magnetic projectiles, by interfering with pacemakers and medication pumps, by pulling on unsafe aneurysm clips, and by asphyxiating people from cryogen exposure.

[Year of MRI Safety @MrYearof]

... do not take 'the safe modality' pitch at face value. Treat it with skepticism. Recognize that MRI has *different* risks, some of which are graver than any ionizing modality.
