Do you have an X-ray?

Dr. Refaey-

Do you feel having a better x-ray cassette holder that is more versatile and accomodating to obese patients would help to lower the number of retakes and/or dosage levels?

Technologists of the Month

Designing ground-breaking products isn’t what we’re really about at J2 Medical.  Sure—a great product has the ability to resolve many problems, but a great product is useless without an accomplished technologist at the wheel.  For that reason, J2 Medical is launching the Have a Nice X-Ray – Technologists of the Month initiative.  This program will give recognition to the leading technologists around world; something we feel is long overdue.  Our products have evolved out of genuine relationships and communication from techs for four years…now it’s time to recognize those who go above and beyond.  We are thankful to have this opportunity and we look forward to showcasing the best of the best within our industry.  In return, we will feature our favorites on www.j2medical.com and send them some “Have a nice X-ray” merchandise as well as an autographed certificate and sincere THANK YOU from both Jarrid Henderson and Dan Parisi.

Contact  techofthemonth@j2medical.com   for more information or to submit your outstanding Techs!

"Have a Nice X-Ray"

RadRounds - 1/18/11
Hello,

I'm working on a health actuarial project and needed an information. I'm hoping people would be able to help me out.

I need information on the average number of x-ray reads that a diagnostic radiologist performs in a given year in the United States. I've gone crazy surfing the web and found a few websites putting the number at 14,900. Now that's crazy - boiling down to 8 reads an hour.

Can anyone please help me out with the most updated figure. Shall be very grateful if anyone can.

Thanks,
Priyam
