Question: Radial access in interventional radiology...

By

My department has a couple new IRs and their preference for Y90 mappings and treatments is to use radial artery access. My question is regarding patient positioning during cone beam CT spins. How do you effectively position the accessed extremity during c-arm spins? Our most recent patient had a large BMI and we couldn't line up our isocenter effectively while still maintaining enough c-arm clearance during the spin. We accessed the left radial artery during the case (left arm along patient's side and right arm above the head during the spins). Any helpful tips?

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/
