CT scan w/o contrast vs contrast

Hi I’m a patient that just underwent a CT with contrast (of the chest) I’ve also had a CT without contrast (also of the chest) in the past. My question is, what’s the main difference between the two as far as “insight” goes? and is one more dangerous than the other?

Side note: I have a very severe case of “pectus excavatum” (reason for CT’s) the first CT scan was before surgery and the second was taken after (scans are 8 months apart) I have the CD’s for both, if it’s of any interest, I can to take a screenshot of both scans and post them

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/
