Well, I have completed almost 60 hours of MRI time in the past four weeks. It has been quite an experience. All the MRI technologists teaching me are very supportive and extremely helpful. There is so much to absorb and at time it can be overwhelming and I feel so inept but the techs have assured me that with time I will start to get the hang of it.
In my hours spent, I have only done a bit of scanning. I've been a little timid about being in the drivers seat but with the help of the techs hopefully this weekend I can take a spin at the wheel. The three body parts I hope to start scanning on my own soon are shoulders, knees, and lumbar spines. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will actually start to become comfortable scanning these areas without being given instructions. I have seen scans of ankles, feet, tib/fib, thumbs, wrists, elbows, brains, TMJ, thoracic spines, cervical spines, and hips. I'm starting to grasp the difference between a clean scan and one that has subtle motion. There is so much to learn but I'm up to the challenge.
So far it has been exciting to learn MRI. With each day, I hope to feel more comfortable in my abilities and that I won't feel quite so inadequate and be more confident with what I am learning.
