Dr. Tim 'Stick' Szczykutowicz

I challenge anyone on #MedTwitter #Radiology to produce something more nerdy about their profession :) 3 minutes of Computed Tomography rhyming below. @aapmHQ @SABImaging @ISCT2020 @CtSpectral @ctisus @UWiscRadiology youtube.com/watch?v=j60vm-…

@UWiscRadiology @JRobbinsMD @Wentland_MD_PhD @SABImaging And free lunch with Giuseppe Toia and I where we'll give a Deep Silicon photon counting update for @GEHealthCare

Check out these presentations today at #SABI23! @JRobbinsMD @Wentland_MD_PhD @Prof_TimStick @SABImaging

Wisconsin’s world-class research institutions and universities like the ones here at @UWMadison are leading the world to find new ways to keep us healthy and growing our manufacturing workforce of tomorrow. It’s also what will make Wisconsin the perfect place for a Tech Hub!

Almost here! 4 day CT course, all virtual, well priced. Use promo code #CTSAVE to get a discount. virtualce.ucsf.edu/computed-tomog…

This is how we make phantoms in the great dairy state of #OnWisconsin @UWiscRadiology @wiscmedphys

@arosenkrantzmd @AJR_Radiology @UWiscRadiology We've been counting photons using silicon at Wisconsin for months now. Now we're counting awesome results like this one! Thanks @arosenkrantzmd and team, and I'm grateful for our productive collaboration with @GEHealthCare

New @AJR_Radiology Accepted Manuscript: "CT Number Accuracy & Association With Object Size: Phantom Study Comparing Energy-Integrating Detector CT and Deep Silicon Photon-Counting Detector CT" By Drs Salyapongse, @Prof_TimStick, & team @UWiscRadiology ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.221…

@DustinGress @DGlaucomflecken @ImageWisely Does advocate avoiding the orbits on head CT?

It’s true: @DGlaucomflecken has an @ImageWisely lapel pin and he should probably show us

@BarretoPhd @DrMarinaSala @aapmHQ @AAPM_WPSC 👏

Show me a FIERCER group of physicists! 🤩💖 Presenting at FL-AAPM on gender disparities in #MedicalPhysics & interviewing these AMAZING women 💖 1️⃣Attract more women to STEM 2️⃣Respect them so they stay in it 3️⃣Support women to excel as leaders 4️⃣Listen to your #InnerSHINE✨

CAT scan... #Radiology

UW-Radiology's interventional CT program is leading the way on the latest in technology and clinical applications. Read about our new research! @Prof_TimStick @LStratchko

@markPsupanich I'm so glad I don't have to deal with this system or the previous system (all the scanners I do annuals on are rad onc and don't have to go through these red tape loops)

@CGlideHurst Lol. I guess no Pb bricks for carry ons

@Prof_TimStick I can see something else that may break the machine. 😂🤣 #ChronicOverpacker

1/2 Went through an airport with analogic CT scanners. tsa worker made a deal about people's bags not being too high, and even had weights to push down people's stuff. I asked a tsa person, she said "if a coat falls out the machine breaks". I assumed it was truncation issues

2/2 and negatively affected image quality, but could it be there is no shield between the rotating gantry and the belt...? I can't believe that. It must be stuff falls off and lays on the cover and throws artifacts for all the bags after until they clear it. Thoughts?

Imagine what they'll create after I them how to code ;) (Two stories, son lashed a door, snow cave) @UWiscRadiology @WARF_News

@CGlideHurst Stick house (from when I was a kid) advent calendar (my lil sticks are stuck with the Trader Joe's cardboard ones... not the same)

How many of you grew up with this #Advent calendar in your house? #vintage #80sBabies

@Radiology_Works @ASRT @CincyKidsRad @RSNA @aapmHQ I wonder if Santa's vet uses @Equina_AstoCT ?

Happy HOLIDAYS from HOW RADIOLOGY WORKS, the best celebration is with FBP. @ASRT, @CincyKidsRad, @Prof_TimStick, @RSNA, @aapmHQ

Feb 2-5, virtual conference on CT, register below. UCSF CME Radiation Safety in Computed Tomography Virtual Symposium 2023: conta.cc/3uBmsEt @aapmHQ @UWiscRadiology @UWMadPhysics

1, 2, 3, 4,.... billions of photons will be counted today at @UWiscRadiology @uwsmph via Deep Silicon from @GEHealthcare

@MichaelOumano @AvrahamCooperMD I disagree. Using a wider beam for the scout is like saying a race car can beat another race car so long as it has a longer hood. That would only matter for really short races....

@Prof_TimStick @AvrahamCooperMD Interesting.not sure I agree w mA &photon starvation.Small d def has adv of⬇️intrabeam scatter for better lo contrast res.not sure that matters much.But yes speed is prop to d(up to say 20-40mm).So potntially~4-8x faster.Intrstng physics but min clinical diff so we may never know

A70 year old man presented with colonic pseudo-obstruction, but also had this interesting arm finding on CT scout images. What is the diagnosis? #MedTwitter

@MichaelOumano @AvrahamCooperMD Localizer radiographs usually use a small (like 5 mm) configuration. For dose reasons, you'd need to lower the mA to the point of photon starvation if used a wider beam. Wide beam doesn't increase scout speed that much I think. t=d/v, with wide beam d gets reduced by a few cm?

@AvrahamCooperMD Has me thinking about scout acquisition speed&I can’t remembr off the top of my head…do CT vendors ask users to choose a detectr config for scouts? widest beam w most coverage gives fastest scout time&mitigates motion but is that automatd or must users select it? @Prof_TimStick
