Legal question concerning operation of C-arm fluoroscopy

Apologies if I’m posting in the wrong sub, but I’m wondering what kind of penalties would come of a surgical technologist (not radiological tech) who is not credentialed in radiology, operated a c arm and shot x rays on a patient before a surgical case because of being impatient. The nurse and the surgical tech were not wearing lead either. I was in the room but was protected with lead. It’s concerning to me because this tech thinks it’s okay to overstep her scope of practice.

This is in Minnesota. And I’m curious if there are any malpractice penalties or anything concerning patient safety too.

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/
