Is it normal to be asked if I have breast implants during imaging of my low back?

I’m not sure how this question will be received here but...not sure where else to ask it!

I had imaging done of my low back today and the person (X-ray tech?) asked me if I had breast implants. After answering I asked him why he had asked the question and he told me I had very dense breasts.

Since I left I’ve felt kind of low-level creeped out by the interaction. Was this a necessary question for him to ask me or am I overreacting?

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/
