Intravenous Contrast Vs Swallow? (Abdomen CT)

I’ve been having bad gut pain in my lower left stomach correlated with digestion so my gastroenterologist ordered a CT eith contrast of abdomen/pelvis. When I first set it up with an imagining facility, they were going to have me swallow barium 2 hours beforehand. Since then, I found a place (advent health) that offers it for much cheaper as I have a high deductible plan. I just made the appt yesterday for this afternoon.

Their contrast is intravenous for this same scan. Will this produce any different results? My doctors office didn’t pick up any of my 6 calls yesterday and I’m worried the same might happen today. I just want to ask a nurse if they have a preference between be receiving intravenous vs oral contrast.

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/
