I had an unreadable carotid ultrasound

Okay so I had a carotis doppler ultrasound and on my right side the radiologist couldnt get a clear read where the arteries branch off under my jaw. He was worried about possible internal carotid dissection.

I had an mra about an hour later which was clear with no issues, however I am still getting symtoms, is it common for the ultrasound to not be able to see the internal carotid well enough and should I still be worried? Is there other tests I should get?

This was a week ago

Any advice or help would be appreciated 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/
