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.
