PET scans
Cannot recall a PET scan any longer than an MRI. Would question if the "busy all day" with 9 reports is because of poor quality of dictation or ESLs.
PET Scans
Try ask Jeeves. com and type in sample report of a PET Scan and you will find a site there from an actual PET scan company with the report right there. Name of the Company is Precision Imaging.
I run scans everyday. Can you look up some

Normal x-rays, CT scans, nuclear medicine
scans, nuclear medicine procedures and tests, etc. Anything procedure associated with radiology, which can include op reports dictated by the radiology interventionists.
I've been here. Better brush up on your
HIPPA laws. It is a violation to hold onto paper copies/hard copies of a patient's private medical record unless you are an MTSO, etc. In other words, little old MTs aren't supposed to be printing and stashing anybody's medical records ever for any reason, whether or not you delete the names. How would you feel if your records were sitting in some unauthorized person's desk, waiting for the day they could use your records to make some point. Definitely NOT a good idea. Its difficult enough holding onto records if you are authorized.
Brush up on your anatomy
Radiology/diagnostic imaging is all about anatomy. If you're going to be transcribing CTs, MRIs, nuclear medicine studies, or PET CTs, go online and look up contrast material and radiopharmaceuticals. The most commonly used ones for CTs are Omnipaque and Visipaque, and gadolinium for MRIs, although they may give a brand name for gadolinium such as OptiRay or OptiMARK. There are dozens of radiopharmaceuticals, however. But it's unlikely they would test you on more than one nuclear medicine or PET study.
Good luck!
brush my teeth
I stop the coffee 4 hours into my shift, it didn't help. Now, I fix a mug of ice water, have snacks similar to what has been suggested. I like salty snacks. I wash my face and brush my teeth, and it usually gets me through my shift.
Better than that, the wheel eraser with the little brush. nm

You need to brush up on HIPAA guidelines...
The computer should be password protected for individual users so files cannot be accessed, but, other than that, HIPAA requires "reasonable care" be taken to safguard patient information. It does not require any computer used for MT to be used exclusively for that.
Some believe the computer must be in a locked room. That is absolutely not a requirement either. Reasonable care means just that.
It won't take long to brush up on BOS. You sound

Brush up on anatomy, so you can follow along with what they're talking about. NM
