I thought bankruptcies were called "Chapter 11" "Chapter 13" etc. The above seem really specific. Cool. TIL.

"MRI" is really NMR, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging but they had to erase Nuclear from the name because people freaked out. Truth.

Sagittal CT is a multi planar reconstruction though. A true CT would be axial.

X-ray=bone & air spaces, MRA=vasculature, MRI=soft tissue (ligaments, muscle, etc), PET=complex stuff (cancer), CT=soft tissue (organs)

Is a CT the same as a CAT scan?
HypnoCT
Yup. The A stands for Axial, but most modern scanners use both Axial and Helical scans. So the A was dropped
AntiProtonBoy
I thought the A stood for “Aided”, as in Computer Aided Tomography.
HypnoCT
Computed Axial Tomography is what I was taught, but granted that was many many moons ago.

I've had this done. Turns out my gerd is due to a hiatal hernia. Acid comes all the way up to my mouth when i lie down. Fun.

Huh… is that fixable? I wonder how that type of hernia even occurs. Makes me wonder how many people with GERD or the like may have this.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
They are fixable. I'm pretty sure my doctor didn't suggest anything because covid is a thing.

Understandable. Well I hope whatever resolution you get it works out well for you. Stay healthy and safe, friend.

Now, what are each used for?
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
To figure out if your shit is busted or not-busted.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Not a doctor, but I’ve had 3/5. CT scan hella times cause of sports- looking for concussion, swelling or any other abnormal stuff.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
X-ray is easy- is your shit broke, hella broke or hella fucking broke.
Hoodzilla86
I need all my ailments described in this way! No more 1-10 bs
ReginaKasteen
Do they X-ray your head? I thought they didn't because of the whole brain thing.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Def did not x-ray my head - lol
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Pet scan- only once. They put shit in your blood to make sure you’re not hella fucked up at a cellular level. Only shows abnormal activity
EEgirl
Pretty close. We have markers for all sorts of things normal and abnormal from cancer to Alzheimer and bones to heart.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Could be cancer or something else- but if you’re doing this one your doctor is hella the person to talk to. Good luck out there.

I had to have an MRI for my back when I couldn't lay down. I screamed "Hey, Jude" for thirty minutes to get through the pain.

Oh no. Please hold still. That’s it.
Mickp81
As someone who’s claustrophobic and extremely fidgety. yes, Hold still with your head clamped in place, while in a tight tube is a nightmare
SpaceMarineWithAnUrgeToPurge
All while staring into a stark white tube that your eyes can't focus on while there is a noise that sound like a robot dry humping your ear.
treymadams92
Bro, just go to sleep next time, it's soo relaxing
DrRad
Oh no. A tube. I just doze off. No need to be awake for most stuff in there.
jiynxed
Likewise but some folks have anxieties that keep them from just... Being still.
DrRad
And that’s why they take an Ativan first. We are cool with that.
fedeColorTerror
Really? It's my favourite. I usually fall asleep. The noise reminds me of a train and it calms me down. I'm autistic though. Maybe it's that
ilikepancakesyay
Same. Best when you volunteer for research studies and they pay you for it too.
ilhares
I don't mind them either, the biggest problem I've got is that I'm fat, so my left hand goes numb when they squeeze my arm in.
ImguritisIsNotCureable
I fall asleep in MRIs too! I'm also known to fall asleep at the dentist. For me its because I have to focus on being still & quiet to go to+
ImguritisIsNotCureable
sleep, & being still & quiet is also necessary for MRIs and the dentist

I learned how to still my body and mind when I was younger. It's a zen thing. Helps with things like MRIs, long bus rides, killing men, etc

TerrenceMorgan
Why are MRIs so expensive?
leperoutcastunclean
Because removing the N from the front to keep stupid people from refusing them was costly.
TerrenceMorgan
I'm confused
leperoutcastunclean
MRI was originally called NMRI- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 'Nuclear' scares idiots, so they changed the name.
FsImgur
Because the magnet is always on, and morons bring metal into the room, and it then costs $30K to restart it.
TerrenceMorgan
Lol this part makes sense, stupid customer
ReginaKasteen
Superconducting magnets need to be kept at extremely low temperatures. Patients need to not do that. The contrast is tricky.
TerrenceMorgan
Is it this material cost ? Or are not enough companies making them ?
ReginaKasteen
Some of both I think. Liquid helium for the cryo system isn't the easiest thing to find.
TerrenceMorgan
All these things we desperately need but so expensive to make and run
NuclearScrubs
Copper and liquid helium both have high costs
TerrenceMorgan
Hmm interesting, is purely material cost? Do we know how many companies make them ?
NuclearScrubs
Most major imaging companies produce them and it's not purely material there are things such as rare earth metals to make the magnets 1.
NuclearScrubs
As well as the expense associated with development of the technology which these companies recoup from essentially turning you into a radio
TerrenceMorgan
Damn those rare materials is a problem, probably much harder and more expensive to make a synthetic version
evangrumling5
It’s also a giant machine attached to a computer that generates 3D images from magnetic data. It’s not a simple thing.
TerrenceMorgan
Are there companies outside of the US that make them
NuclearScrubs
The antennas are pricey as is the computer but the room construction and magnet construction as well as maintenance of helium is far larger.
ruferto
the machine itself wouldnt cost that much to use once built - just talking about electricity to operate it
evangrumling5
No it shouldn’t cost much to run but you have to somehow offset the initial expense on top of the power, labor, and maintenance.
Flexiblewarmth
A Dentist told me his big impressive xray photo imaging thing for jaws and teeth cost a million and came from Germany.
NuclearScrubs
True at that point the costs of staff and contrast agent are the main consideration.
TerrenceMorgan
You think it's more training and maintenance that makes it expensive?
