?? Contrast T1 - Little Lotte

Posted: Jan 13, 2011

Hello! :) I'm working on a radiology report, and the sentence in question is this: "TECHNICAL FACTORS: Sagittal T1, axial FLAIR, PD and T2, as well as (brief) contrast T1." My question is the word in parentheses. The Dr. barely enunciates the word in question. The best I can make out sounds like either "free" or "brief." Does anyone know a word that would make sense combined with contrast T1? Thanks in advance!

Perhaps "pre" as in pre-contrast?

I am just noticing in this week you have been posting questions that run the gaumet from labs, meds, radiology. It almost seems like school is back in session and you are a student. Just wondering because of the variety of your questions and the fact that you always say you are "typing a report". MT's don't type, we transcribe. LOL

Yeah, I'm a total newbie, and very green, as you've probably noticed. *blush* Transcription doesn't come easy for me, and I just want to make sure I do everything right. I'm a perfectionist. I appreciate your patience in answering my probably very redundant/dumb questions.

What illustration might you use to contrast the difference between transcription and coding? They both are the medical field, they both involve patient documentation; yet, they are very different jobs. I am only an MT at the moment, but I have been following coding forums for quite a long time. This subject has come up recently about MTs also performing coding duties. I think it is ridiculous, but I want to hear from those of you who have done both, or even from you who have been an MT and now ...

I've always wondered (and can never find the correct answer) what do you all use in these cases - precontrast/pre contrast, postcontrast/post contrast, well maintained, etc. I've been told both ways by fellow MT's and would like your input. I think everyone does it differently. ?? ...
