MRI False Negative Stroke / Case Study

By

Hello,

While researching effective methods to view strokes I came across studies that suggest that MRIs may lead to false negatives especially for strokes that are located in the posterior portion of the brain. I found this interesting as I believed that MRIs were pretty accurate in terms of diagnosing strokes/ischemias. This brings me to the real topic of this post. At an internship I received a case study of a baseball player whose main side effects were headaches and vision changes. I suspected that a silent stroke (maybe in the occipital lobe) may be the cause of the vision changes but the MRI seemed clear. Is it possible that a stroke in the posterior portion of the brain occurred but it just isn’t showing up on the MRI. What additional steps in the diagnostic process should be used to help rule out the possibility of a false negative (any additional scans etc.) I can link the MRI from the case study below but I don’t want to break the rules so I’m going to wait a bit first.

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/
