Dr. JJ Meyer is very intelligent and excellent at readying x-rays and explaining. Digital Imaging – hot it is different from CR and film screen Newest digital equipment Would be nice to get some mammography talks. Overview of NOT common views – with positioning guidelines Bone diseases caused by nutrional abuses Dr. Coster from Grinnell – bypass surgery. Lifting/mental exhaustion of techs Trauma/trauma protocol in rural clinic and hospitals Involvement with DHS, generation poverty(or poverty way of thinking, and how this culture functions in medical needs) The ISRT welcomes your comments on any and all aspects of this educational program: Better breakfast Very comfortable, regulated atmosphere. I talked to others who felt the temperature was low. I had to agree. Very well done! Very well organized. Congratulations on a wonderful Spring Symposium! Great speaker line up. I enjoed them all! (They all kept my attention) I really enjoyed the conference location. The meals were wonderful and the staff was very professional and did a great job. Good food this year. Only improvement – offer vegetarian options on food lines without having to request. You ran out of cheesecake ; - ( Bring the bags back Food on Friday – ran out before everyone went through (Note from the planner – we did not run out of food. In fact there was still food on the buffet table when we went back into session. We did
26
however, run out of cheese cake but there were other dessert options) The microphones could have been turned up when the speaker stood on the floor. Otherwise very enjoyable and Kirkwood – a great location. Love this facility. Easy to get to, clean, modern and excellent food! Disappointed next year’s symposium is Friday only. It’s hard to get off of work. Please reconsider. Better breakfast It was so nice a couple of years ago or maybe 3-4 years ago. Friday was x-ray and Saturday was Mammography and that was so very nice. Love the fresh fruit for breakfast and snacks. Good location – parking convenient. Something on techniques. How to improve the digital image. We all use it, but not all have been schooled in it.
