ELI5: XR v. CT v. MR

By

I'm a rad tech asst (read: transporter) and I have pts ask me all the time what the difference is between CT and XR. My common answer is CT is an XR that can look at you in slices and build a 3D image if we want. Am I right to say that?

And onto the difference between CT and MR, I say we use MR because it's better at looking at soft tissues.

What can I say to better serve my patients? Thanks for your time

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/
