I am a student in radiography, who would like to specialize in the field of MRI. I was also
thankful that, I had a wonderful learning experience at Scarborough General Hospital, in the
MRI department. I spend most of my clinical days aiding and doing scans under the
supervision of the MRI technologist. I was eager to find a case that was ideal for MR imaging,
but at the same time I was looking for a rare case to learn more about the efficiency of the
modality and share my findings with my colleagues. Fortunately, for me I found a case that
suited my criteria of an ideal case study.
A client was presented to the department with a bicep tear! The MR technologist took some
time before greeting the client to show some images of a bicep tear and how it affects the
anatomy. Once the MR technologist was finished, he went through certain MR protocols to
explain how unique the case was and why it was an ideal MRI case study. Before any
interaction with the client, I had to plan my course of action from my experiences days before
and recite it to the MR technologist. Once he was satisfied with the course of action, I began
all the necessary documentation for my case study.
