KUB question: how do you see the kidneys??

By

I know they are between the levels of T12 and L4 but I am having to almost always take another shot because I can't seem to easily find them whenever I do a KUB. The bottom of the image always includes the pubic symphysis by palpating the greater trochanter but I am never confident that my KUB has the top of the L/R kidneys when I clearly see T11 just because it's hard for me to distinguish the kidneys from superimposed GI tract anatomy. I think that I see a ureter or medullar pyramids but I just can't seem to be 100% about it. Any advice on how you distinguish both kidneys from the other anatomy?

AI for radiology - A survey

By
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/
