General radiography in Lund

D & RT enjoyed the 2 weeks Conventional Radiography.

Everything from the control panel to the requests are in Swedish.

D & RT have been given 12 pages list of English-Swedish 'hospital terms' which D & RT find really useful.

D & RT were very pleased that they were allowed to perform most of the examinations. Although, at times D & RT felt slightly useless and spoilt that everytime they need the radiographers to read and translate the request form and select the examination on the control panel and finish the post-processing. D & RT wish they are superhuman who can learn other language overnight.

D & RT were so pleased that the staff members are so supportive and helpful. They felt really welcome in Lund Hospital.

The control panel - most of the words are nearly similar to English.

Armbage- elbow

Halsrygg- cervical spine

A wooden 'frame' for skyline view- D & RT find this tool amazing.

It's convienient, easy and gives 'textbook' image of the skyline.

Christina Jeppson- utilising RT's mate to explain the extra prejections done in Lund hospital.

Explanation includes;

• why PA wrist must be done with the wrist level with the humerous +shoulder
• why obliques are done on knee examinations
• why 2 oblique views are done on ankle examinations

After the 2 weeks of conventional radiography training, D & RT felt more 'knowledgable'. Thanks to the staff members for being very helpful and patient with the annoying D & RT.
