s/l sum direction on x-ray - not a radiology savant


Posted: Feb 23, 2011

"X-ray looked good in the lateral plane and the s/l sum direction is actually better."  Not sure what "sum" direction is. The terms "sum" and "direction" are so wide it's hard to find anything specific to radiology with google. Anyone know?

If it's a knee, it may be "sun" (short for "sunrise"). - Been a long time since Rad days.

Looking For Direction...
Sep 06, 2011

I am in need of a career change and am currently exploring coding. I've gone through a few websites, like AAPC, and some of the archives here, but I'm still confused and have a bunch of questions! Please help where you can. What really is the difference between the CPC and CCS? I understand that the CCS is more beneficial, but I don't quite understand the mechanics of either. Is office coding more like a billing/clerical position? Do I have to have a 2-year HIM degree too? Does t ...

I never got certified, just landed a good job after I graduated college (with a nursing focus, so lots of anatomy, etc.)...I have been considering either Career Step or Andrews only because those are the main ones that come up when searching. But, what I need to know is what are these other certifications?? What courses/certifications do I actually ne ...

Superior Global Is Moving In A Different Direction
Jan 15, 2014

Wow, just got a call that Superior Global is moving in a different direction and no longer needs my services.  That's why I have to get out of this business and hard at work at this.  Looks like he was calling a list down the line because this man that called me called me by a different name at first.  Asked what was going on, and he said also "I am not at liberty to say."  ...
