Hello and welcome to the World of Pain MD podcast, where we discuss all things pain with the experts.

I am Dr Derick Davis, a physician specializing in pain management.

In this episode, we speak with Mr. Ryan Ross about fluoroscopy and radiology technologists in general, specifically regarding C-arm use in the OR.

Mr Ross is originally from Scotland, hence why his accent is so incredible. He initially was a drummer; however, he later owned, and as he describes in this episode, he found a keen interest in imaging and particularly radiography. He attended Mercer County Community College, graduating with an Associate of Applied Science in Radiography in 2013. In 2015 he moved to Nashville and worked at Vanderbilt University in their level 1 trauma center as a surgical radiology technologist. Mr. Ross eventually transitioned into education. He started as the clinical coordinator for South College of Radiography in Nashville in 2021 and is now the Program Director for their radiography program.

One simply cannot stress enough how important fluoroscopy imaging is to the field of pain. We rely on it for most of our procedures, and as such, we often depend on our radiology technologists’ expertise. In my conversations with Ryan, I was struck by the relative dearth of education for technologists regarding the use of the C-arm and fluoroscopy in general.

Mr. Ross not only has a podcast of his own, he also has a YouTube channel and has developed equipment, known as the C-arm training phantom to help hone and educate technologists and fill this educational void. I will make sure to link all of his affiliated websites in the show notes.

As always, thanks so much for watching or listening; I hope you enjoy this episode and learn something.
