TOSHIBA ANNOUNCES NEW ERA IN ULTRASOUND IMAGING- FLY THRU

Fly Thru utilizes perspective rendering to let you virtually dive into a volume data set and explore cavities, ducts and vessels from the inside and in 3D. While conventional 3D imaging displays the surface of a given structure by parallel projection, FlyThru uses perspective projection to display a given structure, emphasizing the near over the far field much like in optical endoscopy.

Fetal Heart

Photos show a Right Flow Track of Fetal Heart. Note that the RVOT is the flow from Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery.

Notes from Wikipedia

The human heart has four chambers, two superior atria and two inferior ventricles. The atria are the receiving chambers and the ventricles are the discharging chambers. The pathway of blood through the human heart consists of a pulmonary circuit[11] and a systemic circuit. Deoxygenated blood flows through the heart in one direction, entering through the superior vena cava into the right atrium and is pumped through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle before being pumped out through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary arteries into the lungs. It returns from the lungs through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium where it is pumped through the mitral valve into the left ventricle before leaving through the aortic valve to the aorta

Working In Saudi Arabia? Dare or Not?

My friend who is one of the most senior O&G sonographer in Malaysia just called me a few days ago. She was so excited that Saudi Arabia is offering her a job with..Hmm..very lucrative pay for me. But as her salary here in Malaysia is much2 more higher than that, she asked me if I would interested in it. Looking at the figure, of course! But then, when to think of it agin, I rather work in Malaysia. Because, there is a speculation that we are going to have a new wave of recession, so, don't quit any permanent job you have unless you can get a permanent job asap. The job is a contract basis, so, I think I better stick to this job unless, they don't need me anymore which I think they need me very much at this point of time. Can't wait to get the first bonus this year..ahaks!

Uterus - Toshiba Nemio XG

sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus

Nor mal uterus of multiparus woman

The uterus (from Latin "uterus", plural uteri) or womb is a major female hormone-responsive reproductive sex organ of mostmammals including humans. One end, the cervix, opens into the vagina, while the other is connected to one or both fallopian tubes, depending on the species. It is within the uterus that the fetus develops during gestation, usually developing completely inplacental mammals such as humans and partially in marsupials such as kangaroos and opossums. Two uteruses usually form initially in a female fetus, and in placental mammals they may partially or completely fuse into a single uterus depending on the species. In many species with two uteruses, only one is functional. Humans and other higher primates such as chimpanzees, along with horses, usually have a single completely fused uterus, although in some individuals the uteruses may not have completely fused. The term uterus is used consistently within the medical and related professions, while the Germanic derived term womb is also common in everyday usage in the English language.

Most animals that lay eggs, such as birds and reptiles, have an oviduct instead of a uterus. In monotremes, mammals which lay eggs and include the platypus, either the term uterus or oviduct is used to describe the same organ, but the egg does not develop a placenta within the mother and thus does not receive further nourishment after formation and fertilization. Marsupials have two uteruses, each of which connect to a lateral vagina and which both use a third, middle "vagina" which functions as the birth canal. Marsupial embryos form a choriovitelline "placenta" (which can be thought of as something between a monotreme egg and a "true" placenta), in which the egg's yolk sac supplies a large part of the embryo's nutrition but also attaches to the uterine wall and takes nutrients from the mother's bloodstream.

Sonographer Wanted!!

Hi guys! It's been quite a long time since I last posted my latest post. Today is just a short post. I'm suffering a really bad headache from morning after a long drive from JB for work. But I still have to post this one as it is important to my fellow sonographers friends who are still looking for a job...

Currently, a hospital in Melaka is looking for a sonographer. But I'm not sure in which department. Maybe O&G or Radiology. So for those who are interested in applying it, do send your resume to my email as stated on my blog. I can't guarantee you the job but, I can send it to the right person...

and by the way, my company also looking for a sonographer to be their application specialist. This is for those who love to drive and travel a lot! email me your CV!

Kidney Stone Using Toshiba Xario XG

A kidney stone is a hard mass developed from crystals that separate from the urine within the urinary tract. Normally, urine contains chemicals that prevent or inhibit the crystals from forming. These inhibitors do not seem to work for everyone, however, so some people form stones. If the crystals remain tiny enough, they will travel through the urinary tract and pass out of the body in the urine without being noticed.

Kidney stones may contain various combinations of chemicals. The most common type of stone contains calcium in combination with either oxalate or phosphate. These chemicals are part of a person’s normal diet and make up important parts of the body, such as bones and muscles.

A less common type of stone is caused by infection in the urinary tract. This type of stone is called a struvite or infection stone. Another type of stone, uric acid stones, are a bit less common, and cystine stones are rare.

Can you see the echodense in the kidney which cast shadow? That is the kidney stone which measured 6mm.

Why Choose Sonographer?

Last week I received an email from one of the reader who is interested to be a sonographer.

He was asking about the job opportunity and the salary.

After a few months working with distributor, I met a lot of doctors who were asking if I know any sonographer to offer a job.

From this, we can actually know, how good the job opportunities are. But the problem is, they always looking for an experience sonographer.

So, if you want to be a sonographer, make sure you get a job in a high workload places or have an initiative to do locumns to gain more experience.

The more  the workload, the more exposure you get, the more better you will be!

This is what measures your ability, your skill to be a good sonographer as well as increase your salary margin.

Salary? Well for goverment hospitals, they never hire sonographers so, the doctors will do by themselves.

But, in the teaching hospital, yes, they do hire any MLT's or Science Officers as their sonographer. This is actually a good opportunity as you will ahve a free training and with high workloads, you can easily increase your skills and knowledge in Ultrasound.

So, in teaching hospital, the salaries are according to the goverment rate.

In the private hospitals, normally they will offer RM2500 for fresh graduate and you will have to work 6 days a week. For those with experience more than 5 years, they can demand for RM4500-6000. 

Cardiac tech receive a higher salary up to RM7000.

So, what say you?

You decide!

At Last, The Probe Is In My Hand!

We had a gynae ultrasound hands on today. 

So, everybody are busy trying to get some idea how to

manipulate the probe angle to get the better image.

After a few trials, one doctor ask me to get the ovaries.

So, without any time wasted, I just grab the probe and do the scan.

I felt like a drug addict just got a shot of ice or something. 

So, excited and the doctor was very nice to me. 

I learnt as well as sharing infos with her.

I like her!

Working On Weekends

Arghhh! I have to work on weekend. This is the only thing I don't like being an Apps. But overall is good. I'm in UM this weekend. They are organizing a short basic course in O&G Ultrasound. The lecturers are very experience and friendly. So with the staff. I slowly unedrstand what it takes to be an Apps. Freindly and talkactive, everybody will be nice and willing to help you. Well, that is what I learnt yesterday. :o)

My First Apps Task in GIMC

I was in GIMC today for a user training for Xario. It was kinda clumsy, panick and funny at first. But luckily, the doctor was very kind to me. After an hour with him, I felt relieve and my confidence came back.  The staff all are nice too. Tomorrow, I'll be there again. Hopefully, he can quickly master the buttons so, I can train other doctor in Ampang Hospital the next week. As for today, I am truly happy it went well. Thanks also to Adrian for staying with me and gave me the technical support. 

Being a Sonographer or An Application Specialist

I've just got a mail looking  for a sonographer in a private centre. But, I think I should stay as an application specialist. eventhough my heart hurt so much when I have to watch others doing ultrasound and I know I can get better and much2 more infos on the scan. You know, I really miss being a sonographer.But the reality is, I'm no longer a sonographer. Either to pursue my career in sonography or just go with the flow as an Apps. I have to choose. Choose between working something you like but not being able to do more or doing something a little higher, a little more but it is quite different.Especially when you do this for someone you love. Making sure you're doing enough to provide them a better life.

Being a sonographer, you offer service  to the patients. But as an apps, you serve the end user and train them. Apps is a little higher. But we specialize in systems and applications. But as a sonographer, they specialize in diagnose the patients. 

I learnt a lot from being a sonographer. The good and bad way. 

But both job have one thing in common. Face the people. 

A sonographer faces the patients.

I face the end user.

But so far, I have good time doing Apps.

But, I just can't get rid of feeling like I want to grab the probe and do the ultrasound. LOL!

Whatever it is, after some times I'm gonna love this job by heart just like how I love my job as a cytogeneticist in HKL, a sonographer in HUKM.

I'm gonna love being an Application Specialist in Abex Medical Systems.

That is my new year resolution!

no turning back.

Just go with flow but ahead of the flow.

Winning is my habit, so  I have to be proactive and positive.
