Update to Clinicals

Things are going fairly well so far for CT at Deaconess. We are very busy with Inpatient work these days and of course Outpatients. We have several technologists that are off due to maternity leaves so that leaves us a little short handed. I have to say, the group has risen to the occasion and things are going just fine.

I helped out Saturday due to our physician order entry portion of our EMR going live. So, I assisted where needed and scanned at Gateway. I scanned an older gentleman who had an abnormal bone scan the day prior. So, we were looking for metastatic disease. An unfortunately, there were mets everywhere. The report showed a spiculated LLL lung nodule and also metastatic disease to the thoracic vertebral bodies and rib fractures...all which are pathologic in nature. I have attached a sagittal reformatted image of the lytic lesions to the vertebral bodies.

Welcome back everyone!

Hello!
For those of you new this semester, my name is Susan Brumley. I am a supervisor at Deaconess Hospital and Gateway Hospital. I passed my boards in CT this year...a long time goal for me! My next goal was to then finish my bachelor's degree. I manage the CT, MRI, and Diagnostic modalities at both campuses.

I am married and have 6 kids. Yes, I did say 6...I didn't give birth to them all, but I claim them! The four older kids are off in college or on their own. We have two younger children at home, age 7 and 2. Between work, school, and kids I really don't have much time for anything else. But, I love to shop, read, and watch movies. We also love soccer and spend a good amount of time on the field.

Have a great semester!
