- On friday, I met with senior Azmi Sulaiman who currently working at Arunamari SMC klang and Encik Zulfadli our beloved lecturer who currently pursuing his master. Advice taken.
- A month already past and i am getting more and more comfortable with this place.
- This week happen to be more "happening" compare to the previous 4 weeks.
- The fact that i'm the only student at CT doesn't make me less talkative. heh
- All the senior radiographer treat me very well, WELL some of them do look like they want to ignore me. but hell. this is ME. :D. En/Cik/Puan "Azman, Harris,liyana,rohaida,zaileha,nurul,nurain,aina,amir,mamaton,zurita,zana" they all taught me something
- Let's go straight to the point shall we. Most common CT done is
- CT Brain (contrast/without contrast)
- CTU (Plain)
- CT TAP (with contrast) short for "thoracic,abdomen,pelvic
- and the extremities "hip n etc"
- There were TWO CT machine each in separate room (ofcourse la kan) in HTAR. The old/new one. basically for the old one they use it to do CT BRAIN. because they said the image looks better using the old one. And it would be a waste if they don't use it right.(because the "new CT machine can do a LOT MORE faster than the old one)
CT BRAIN
- If everything went well, it took less than 10 minutes to do CT brain.
- But if contrast is given. maybe another 5 or 10 minutes added.
- contrast given was omnipaque? :p 50ml for adult using 2x 20ml syringe and 1x 10ml syringe. for childreN? it have something to do with the patient body weight. i ll come back to this later. heh.
- And i'm lucky because Encik Azman taught me how to do CT Brain. Like seriously TAUGHT me. (baseseq,cerebseq)
- And Encik Amir taught me how to read the image. But only the basic one i guess. Circle of willis, the chinese smile face appear usually if the brain is normal (most of them is normal 0.0) :D, the grey/white matter,the vertebra arteries to look if there is any calcification, and a few more i regret of not taking note.
CT TAP/CTU/ and others
- Most of the procedure ↑ done using the new CT machine.
- Feet 1st,hand above the patient head
- For CTU center at Nipple line, Usually plain image (without contrast).
- For TAP center at level of chin
- others depend.
- Make sure the MCP & MSP is align.
Assessment.
- Nothing was done.
Clinical Study
- Still haven't got the approval letter to start our clinical study from the "pengarah hospital".
- Currently focusing on ovarian malignancy.
