Used the O Arm for the first time today! I Loved It! I do think it’s more convenient and a lot more user friendly than the Body Tom. What are your thoughts on the future of the O Arm vs. Body Tom?

We got a new O Arm in the OR and I got to use it today! Definitely impressed with the image quality and how quickly it was acquired. It even made sagittal and coronal images off of the axial images. The set up was easy too. The Body Tom is quite cumbersome, and the warmup/set up takes a long time. Maybe it’s just an older model that we have, but I see a lot more benefits for using the O Arm as a replacement for the Body Tom in the OR. Also, since we’re using it while the patient is under anesthesia and still in the OR, it’s definitely a lot more comfortable/safe for the patient than if we did post operative CT on the patient in recovery.

What are your thoughts on this? What are some pros and cons of each in your opinion? Are there any images that are specific to the Body Tom that can’t be acquired with the O Arm?

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/
