With over 30 years of experience in MRI, Douglas Boyd has a wealth of knowledge! He found this specialized field to be deeply rewarding. Boyd began writing “Boyd's Comprehensive Guide to MRI'' at the turn of the millennium. In addition to his experience as a technologist, he has served in the roles of supervisor and educator as well. It is evident that he never lost the passion for procedural advancements that drive this incredible field.

Boyd's Guide is one of my top essential books for an MRI Tech. This book has all the crucial anatomy, protocols and angles you need to be an elite tech. The MR pictures look great and the book is very organized. Whether you're a new tech or senior tech, this book is a must have.





“Today’s MRI technologists regularly perform exams that range from the most fundamental to the most complex. Boyd’s Comprehensive Guide to MRI provides accurate and reliable reference materials that will be an invaluable asset to beginning and experienced technologists alike. Doug Boyd packs a career’s worth of MRI expertise into this slim volume. In addition to concise and quickly identifiable visual references, the protocols can be immediately implemented. Techs of all experience levels will benefit from Doug’s clinical notes, which highlight various aspects of daily scanning that can be easily overlooked or forgotten.
This reliable resource for every MRI environment includes:
a description of the immense responsibilities that MRI techs face each day, in terms that corporate and administrative personnel can understand;
information to guide the study of future MRI techs, including important aspects of the intersection between physics and cross-sectional anatomy;
essential study and protocol data in an easy-to-access format, to help students quickly acclimate to known exams; and
a comprehensive section on MRI safety.”

MRI safety incident involving a patient, nurse, and tech aid results in injuries at Redwood Kaiser in California (allegedly) . Now, it's 2023 and we need to ensure that our MRI departments remain safe and off limits to anyone who is unsupervised and untrained regarding MRI safety. The nurse injured at this hospital could have had more serious injuries or even died. The patient could have been seriously injured or died as well. Luckily, the patient fell off the gurney before it struck the magnet or the result could have been devastating.  Give this a watch, ensure you are doing everything in your power to stand your ground and guard Zone IV. As techs, we are responsible for everyone's safety in the MRI room.

On this episode me and Gabby talk about William Edward Allen, Jr the first certified African American X-ray technologist. 

William Edward Allen, Jr is credited as the first Black certified X-Ray technologist. He’s been credited with considerable contributions to medicine, particularly in nuclear medicine and radiation therapy for cancer patients
Allen enrolled Howard University in 1923 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the ROTC. Four years later, he earned his B.S. in chemistry from Howard and then graduated with his medical degree in 1930.

He interned at  Homer G Phillips Hospital, and spent his residency in radiology. In 1935, he was named as an approved specialist in Radiology, and was just the fifth Black American given this honor. Four years later, while sitting for his board exams, he wasn’t even allowed to ride the hotel’s main elevator, instead required to take the freight elevator, even though he was a member of the American College of Radiology. 

He also worked relentlessly for increased access to medical education for African-American students. He created one of the first residencies in radiology in the 1930s for underrepresented students at the Homer G Phillips Hospital, the city’s first Black-operated hospital, established in 1937. Over time, that program graduated more than 200 Black radiographers, nuclear medicine technologists, and radiation therapists. Allen was a man dedicated to breaking barriers. He was the first African-American to receive the Gold Medal from the American College of Radiology.
Began AFS-WAC school for X-ray techs for Black women serving in WWII
he U.S. Army, the first certified Black radiologist in military service,

On this episode I talk about all the controversial radiology news that have been going on recently. A man in Brazil entered an MRI room with his gun and the MRI magnetic field triggered his gun to go off and shoot him in the abdomen. The man was sent to the hospital but did not survive.

In California a Man who is a Radiologist attempted to commit suicide and kill his wife and two kids by driving off a 300 foot cliff. Everyone survived thank god. I talk about how common it is for radiologists to suffer from depression.

I also talk about about scanning prisoners and answer some questions from followers
