Scoliosis: Fulcrum & Lateral Bending

What I know so far:

Lateral bending shows the nature of the scoliosis whether it's structural and non-structural. It also shows the rigidity of the spine and determines how successful reduction of the spine will be.

Fulcrum view places a bolster (cylinder) at the apex of the curve. Besides this, I cannot find enough information on the benefits of this view and what information it provides for orthos or radiologists.

I have a few questions:

Why bend both ways for the lateral bending? What exactly does the fulcrum bending view show? How does these images change/aid in orthos planning for corrective surgery Thanks!

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/
