🌟 Celebrating Women in Health Month 🌟 Join us as we celebrate the remarkable women driving innovation and excellence at MIC Medical Imaging during Women in Health Month! 👩💼 Meet Tina Anderson, our own Clinical Applications Manager. In our Q&A, Tina shares her invaluable insights and experiences, shedding light on the impactful journey of a woman in the medical field. ➡️ Here's one more question we asked: Q:What did you want to be (when you grew up) when you were little? A:My parents instilled in me the belief that I could be and do anything. They supported me through all my phases and allowed me to pursue my passions without limitations. When I decided that I wanted to be a fashion designer, they gave me sketchbooks and paired me up with my grandma, who patiently showed me how to bring my creations to life on her sewing machine. When I said that I wanted to be an astronaut, they encouraged me to reach for the stars. 🌟 Although you could be looking down on us from the moon, we're glad you're gazing up at the stars with us while leading our clinical applications team to new heights. Let's celebrate Tina's accomplishments and the inspiring narratives of women across our organization throughout May. Stay tuned for more empowering stories from our MIC family! 🌟

MIC Medical Imaging offers three advanced treatments for venous insufficiency: 1. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy: 🦋 Veins are carefully mapped, and medication is injected through small needles with ultrasound guidance to close refluxing veins. 2. Radiofrequency ablation: 🔥 Heat is used to shrink and close varicose vein walls, addressing the underlying issue. 3. Venaseal™️: 🩹A specialized adhesive seals diseased veins, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins. Please note that Alberta Health Care covers varicose vein assessments only. The minimally invasive treatments mentioned are not covered. Venous insufficiency treatments at MIC start at $350 per leg, depending on the procedure. 💰 To learn more about varicose vein treatments at MIC, including procedure details, specific cost, recovery timeline, etc., visit: https://lnkd.in/gXTEQehx

Can varicose veins occur in only one leg? 🦵 Yes, varicose veins can develop in almost any part of the body, depending on the health of the veins. Typically, they manifest in the lower extremities, and it's common for symptoms to appear in one leg before the other. Healthcare professionals are still researching the exact reasons, but many believe it could be due to damage to the vein or valve on that particular side of the body. 💡

#DidYouKnow MIC is actively engaged in shaping the future of radiologists and technologists? 🌟 Our radiologists proudly serve in academic roles at the University of Alberta, fostering excellence in the field. 🎓 Additionally, we have a longstanding partnership with NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) to support and train technologists for tomorrow's healthcare challenges. 💼

He has also contributed significantly to advisory councils related to Medical Radiation Technology and Ultrasound services for nearly 20 years while also working with MIC from 1996 to 2023 where he provided our team with his expertise in his subspeciality of neuroradiology. 👏 Please join us in congratulating Dr. William Anderson for this well-deserved recognition.

👋 What is the difference between varicose veins and spider veins? 👋 Varicose veins appear as twisted ropes protruding above the skin. 🌀 🕸️ Spider veins, on the other hand, are small clusters of red, blue, or purple veins that form a web-like pattern just below the skin's surface. While both can cause discomfort, varicose veins are a medical condition resulting from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). 👩⚕️ 👪 Spider veins, however, are primarily a cosmetic concern influenced by factors such as genetics and hormonal changes. At MIC Medical Imaging, our interventional radiologists specialize in evaluating and treating varicose veins associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). 💼 To learn more about varicose veins, visit https://lnkd.in/gXTEQehx
