What does the abbreviation AOC mean on an image from a soft tissue neck ultrasound?

I wanted to hear about other peoples experiences working as a tech while being pregnant. I am currently 10 weeks and I have been being sent up to the OR for spine stimulator cases and some of the cases have reached over 5 mins of fluoro time. I wear the wrap around lead and have a fetal monitor but I am just started to get anxious about it. I’ve been in about 4-5 stimulator cases in the past few weeks I believe, maybe more but not much more can’t remember.

after 2 months I am quitting. Got the first leg of my sign on bonus and idk what there gonna do when I put in my notice. I believe I live in a state where they cannot take my final paycheck or something like that. Has anyone ever had to repay it or did they come after you?

i'm on a trip back to mongolia with my family and i was just now told that i'll be getting a lot of tests there (not sure what kinds. all i know for now is an mri, ct, and ultrasound)

but my main problem is that i have a few scars that i can't tell my parents about otherwise i'll be in a lot of trouble. i'm familiar with the laws and stuff in america, but i can't find anything about mongolian laws

i can't talk my way out of these tests though, and i'm not sure how relevant this information is but i'm not fluent in mongolian either if an option has something to do with talking to my tech

i never use reddit so i hope i'm posting this where it needs to be? i'm sorry if it's in the wrong place🙏

When it comes to CT, how long after contrast injection do you need to wait before you can scan a head WITHOUT, without any venous contamination of the brain.

Edit: An ER Dr. asked me this the other day and I spaced on the answer. The internet doesn’t seem to have a set answer

i have to get an MRI and my nose piercing will not come out; it’s one of those little hoop ones that pushes together and it is legitimately stuck shut in my nose. is there any way they can do the MRI with it in? i don’t know what it’s made of it’s just from hot topic so nothing expensive. thanks!

Imaging of babies in the NNU comes with a lot of risk. often babies are presented in prone position as it is best for them, and rolling them over for an AP chest xray can cause distress.

Is there any reason CXR cant be done with the baby prone? granted we need to account for any rotation etc? but if baby is already prone, and we are using the tray, why not image prone?

Have googled but couldn't really find anything.
