Combined EM/Diagnostic Radiology?
Okey, why did i thought of this combination.
I work as EM resident in europe and we do not evaluate much CT scans. You can learn self of course. But my thought is - if you are double specialized with rad maybe it can give much to patient flow, you can take quick evaluations self and avoid long with times till you get rad answer. You have good ultrasonography skills and if you want to avoid a bit patient contact can work for exemple 50/50 or 60/40.
Maybe it is just me who thinks that way...

CT sufficient prior to Epidural?
Patient is an elderly female with h/o cardiac stent on anticoagulation also with a pacemaker that is not compatible with MRI. She has lower extremity radicular pain. Ordinarily I would like to have a MRI so that I can see soft tissue pathology. There is a CT scan which notes that there "may be some mild canal and neur foraminal narrowing." Clinically pain is only on ambulation with no associated neurologic deficits by history nor in the office on exam. Would you proceed with intervention...

Does this patient have pancreatitis?
Have a patient who had N/V, diarrhea and epigastric pain. CT scan with contrast showed diffuse mild thickening of colon and small bowel representing enterocolitis; pancreas had no abnormality. Lipase 7000s and patient did have epigastric tenderness on exam. Is this consistent with pancreatitis or does the ct scan rule it out? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
