Radiology has a different expertise - MT Posted: Feb 15th, 2018 - 8:50 am In Reply to: Eighteen Years of What? - see msg
I agree that radiology and acute care will overlap. But to the OP, radiology has absolutely different medical terminology a person must know. It is a world of its own. If you have done cardiac catheterizations, for example, that is a different world. So is radiology. You have different test names than office notes. You have different measurements and words for example "sides" which each respective machine uses. You have different contrast measurements. Just like cancer drugs are completely different, and just like extensive operations are completely different, so is radiology. As the person above said, if you have tried radiology you would know this. As well, they are rather short and you need to be able to breeze through them at a pretty fast clip to do well money wise. You cannot make errors on these things at all. There is no room for error. Not that there is in clinic notes or acute care, but in radiology you absolutely must know the terms and measurements etc. So if you are interested, look up a site that has sample dictations and learn them or ask your acute care job to let you on a few a day. Good luck.
