Well, things are very busy for me lately. Our new EMR has been implemented and like all new systems...there have been a few bumps in the road. I've had to spear-head collection of issues and assist in getting information out to staff. Lots of issues surrounding availability of reports in a timely manner.
Things are very busy in our CT and MRI departments after a brief lull. We are seeing flu symptoms of course, but have had a influx of trauma and broken bones as well. We have a new traumatologist at Deaconess and he is having us do lots of 3d images via our Tera Recon workstation now. So, we've been training everyone on those. Here is an example...
This was scanned at 2mm increments on our VCT 64 slice scanner. We then reformat an AP pelvis, and inlet and outlet views on every trauma for sure, but he'd like them for all ER pelvis exams. They are just a little time consuming so we haven't gotten that far yet. This particular patient had IV contrast for an abdomen as well and had a catheter in. It showed that really well! It's unbelievable the detail we get from our workstation.
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
