Help with MRI technique, please - Grace
Posted: Apr 14, 2011
Doc is doing an MRI of the foot and says the technique is: "Long axis inversion recovery, sagittal T1, inversion recovery, and short axis fat suppressed proton density. " I have added the commas but I'm not confident about it AT ALL. Any help, please? Does anyone know of a web site that explains all this terminology? Thanks!
sounds good - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I just pasted the entire phrase into google and came up with some good confirmation.
Thanks, sm - Grace
[ In Reply To ..]What a good idea pasting the whole thing in Google. I don't know why I didn't think of that - I pasted bits and pieces of the technique, which obviously was somewhat lacking. Thanks for your help!
glad that worked for you! - nm

At some point, it seems most management has started to treat the worker bees as enemies instead of part of the team. It's short-sighted and lazy, and I know it has to be costin ...

Questions On Your Technique
Jun 12, 2011
I am wondering what method you all use for transcribing. Do you listen and type word for word, or do you listen to the complete thought before typing it? Has anyone who was formally trained been taught a certain way? Has anyone switched from technique to another and seen a difference one way or another? I am continually trying to find ways to improve speed without a lot of success. I am very frustrated and having difficulty paying my bills. Also, in case it co ...

Abdominal Surgery Word/technique
Jun 17, 2010
Percutaneous gastrostomy procedure, same word used twice: "A good light reflex was noted on the anterior abdominal wall. A 1:1 (S/L boh-lowt-ment) was directly visualized." and again "A transverse incision slightly to the left of midline was made where a good 1:1 *** was visualized."
