Understanding "Exposure" DICOM tags and their relations

Hello everyone,

Would love to get your help on something (couldn't find the answer in the sub history).

  1. For the following DICOM tags related to Exposure - what are the exact units for each of them (e.g. mili Amper second, micro Amper, etc.):
  • Exposure
  • Exposure time
  • X-Ray Tube Current
  1. What is the formula that connects these values?

I was guessing it should be - Exposure = Exposure time * Tube Current,

but this formula doesn't hold for the values I'm seeing inside the DICOM.

Is this formula completely off? Or just missing normalization values, and which?

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
