Everyone in my lab scans sitting behind the patients head. There is an occasional exception when we do a carotid in the patient room at the bedside. Sometimes it is just too difficult to rearrange the room. Michel E.

I'm still of the old school, sitting behind the patient's head. Another tech tells me nobody scans like that any more; he stands at the patient's side, facing the patient, much as one would doing an abdominal scan but a bit farther toward the head. Could I ask for a bit of a survey? There's a lunch riding on this. You can reply straight to me so as not to clutter the Flownet up severely: [log in to unmask] Thanks a ton.
