☢️Senior Radiographer AKTH/ shukura diagnostic

Guyton or Sembulingam?


Rad here. The Radiographer is right, there should be justification for irradiation of a healthy limb. Especially for a paediatric patient. Children are still growing and they're highly radiosensitive. There's a reason referral forms comes with "right or left limb". This is to avoid unnecessary radiation to healthy tissues. The ortho referral should have indicated bilateral limbs in the request form. Thank you and I hope I passed a message.





I think what People that are non-medical doctors fail to realize is that as regards to health(in terms of things that relates to a doctor) the gap in knowledge between you and a medical doctor is so unfathomably wide...
