Radiologist for a day.

I learned so much today working with the radiologist...here is just a sampling:


1) There are 2 sesamoid bones under the distal end of the first metatarsal. Totally didn't know those existed.


2) There are lots and lots of very common "extra" bones in the foot. (the little one identified here by the black arrow is the os peroneum).



3) There is a very important difference between "haziness," "infiltrate" and "consolidation" on a chest x-ray, (it's a spectrum).

I'd call this consolidation:


4) A CT of the lungs with contrast looks a bit like a star-filled night sky:

5) And last, but most importantly...radiology is incredibly boring.
