OR Lateral L-Spine images

By

Can anyone give me advice on how to get a better lateral L spine x-ray with the screws lined up during a fusion while using a c-arm? I work in the OR and during the lumbar spine fusion the surgeons want a lateral x-ray where the screws are align with each other and I'm having a hell of a time figuring out which way to move the c-arm to make the image look the way they want it. At our hospital we call it the "wig wag" and I'm not sure if everyone else calls it that, but to try to explain... while the c arm is in a lateral position, you can "wag" it so it makes the screws align.... How can you figure out which way to move it? Is there a way I can do it without guessing and moving the c-arm one way and messing up and exposing everyone and the patient? Thanks!!

AI for radiology - A survey

By
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/
