Wow, it's hard to believe this is my last semester!! I'll officially have my Bachelor's Degree in August!
In other news, my husband and I are expecting our first baby in October! School really couldn't be ending at a better time!! I am so glad I decided to do this.
Things in CT at OMHS are pretty much the same. I am still working 1 or 2 days a week in CT and spending the rest of my time in x-ray. I think that's pretty much how I would like for it to stay!
Anyway, I recently saw a very interesting case, that's what the images above are from. I had a patient come in who was complaining of pain in her left pelvic area. No symptoms other than that. When I was getting the patient's history she told me that she had just had an ultrasound in which they had found a cyst on her right ovary. Well, I didn't think anything about it since this is fairly common for most women. I did her scan, abdomen/pelvis with, and sent her back to the ER. As I was looking over the scan before sending it to the doctor I was surprised by what I saw, the cyst was taking up almost her entire pelvic cavity and her bladder was completely compressed by it. I have never seen anything like it. I can't remember the reading exactly but the gist was that it was way too big to be a simple cyst and was probably some sort of neoplasm. I found out later that week that the patient ended up having a completely hysterectomy the next day. Crazy! I just hope that she's okay!
Well, hope clinicals are going well for everyone else! I have another cool case that I want to get some images of on here but I haven't gotten the chance to do it yet. I'll save it for next time!
