Almost here! 4 day CT course, all virtual, well priced. Use promo code #CTSAVE to get a discount. virtualce.ucsf.edu/computed-…

This is how we make phantoms in the great dairy state of #OnWisconsin @UWiscRadiology @wiscmedphys

1/2 Went through an airport with analogic CT scanners. tsa worker made a deal about people's bags not being too high, and even had weights to push down people's stuff. I asked a tsa person, she said "if a coat falls out the machine breaks". I assumed it was truncation issues

Imagine what they'll create after I them how to code ;) (Two stories, son lashed a door, snow cave) @UWiscRadiology @WARF_News

Feb 2-5, virtual conference on CT, register below. UCSF CME Radiation Safety in Computed Tomography Virtual Symposium 2023: conta.cc/3uBmsEt @aapmHQ @UWiscRadiology @UWMadPhysics

1, 2, 3, 4,.... billions of photons will be counted today at @UWiscRadiology @uwsmph via Deep Silicon from @GEHealthcare

Check it out, we have a deep silicon photon counting CT scanner at Wisconsin. It's so exciting to be a part of this project with so many talented people at @UWiscRadiology and GE @GEHealthcare GE booth, @RSNA Tuesday 2:10 PM, I'll tell/show you more businesswire.com/news/home/2…

I'm leaving our of MSN right now as well! Sporting my @aapmHQ ID tag holder, heading to #SABI22 @SABImaging

Pretty cool. Wearable Ultrasound patch. And the images don't stink 😉 #radiology @MankowskiGettle Bioadhesive ultrasound for long-term continuous imaging of diverse organs science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Tired of wading through vendor lingo when it comes to CT recon names? Check out this review paper (includes the latest DLR methods) Open access! #radiology @ctisus @SABImaging @aapmHQ @Radiopaedia

An errant drop of contrast (any liquid or dirt/debris) will cause most severe signal change when located on the surface of the detector, and the most artifacts over the largest area on the tube side due to divergent geometry of the xrays( 📷 left tube side, 📷right detector side)

Tomorrow, 4 pm, @MedPhysPub booth. Win my quiz--> win my book. A kaleidoscope of topics from DECT, to Hounsfield's first CT paper, to the airspeed velocity of an unladen African swallow flying through a CT scanner... #AAPM2022 @aapmHQ

Thanks! I just landed! Looking forward to this week for sure! Tomorrow morning, 7:30 am, ~50 slides 20 minutes on CT imaging in rad onc. Room 202ab @aapmHQ #AAPM2022

Apparently airlines specify the distance between seats as "pitch". What if an airplane did an aileron roll with a helical pitch of 1 for my 31 inch seat pitch at 520 mph, how fast would the wing tips travel? (65'9" span)? I.E., it rolls once every 31 inches. @LesFolio @aapmHQ

Next time you see a low/high mA and think the dose was too low/high look at the mAs. I've had rads (not from @UWiscRadiology 😉) complain of high ped doses because I suggest higher mA and faster scanning... keeping their dose constant relative to slow scanning with small mA.

Two questions. (1) give me some honest feedback, I list some of my papers that describe radiology metrics (links in 2nd tweet), where do you think they fall on this plot I made? (2) what metrics do you use and where do they fall on my plot? @UWiscRadiology @WARF_News

My "CT" scan was negative 😉#Radiology @SABImaging @JCATonline @aapmHQ @RSNA #COVID19 @AuntMinnie

At @UWMadison we put the cat in CAT scan youtu.be/S24hI8-Il18 @UWiscRadiology @UWMadPhysics
