Use of hyperpolarised noble gases for MRI scans

By

Hello there!

I am (hopefully) making my graduation at Rad-tech school next year and I am about to write my first bachelor-thesis. As it hasn't been discussed in our lectures I am very curious about the use of hyperpolarised gases like Helium-3 or Xenon-129 for MRI scans. It isn't a common used method in our country, but I still would like to write about it. I already have read several studies and would like to know more about the daily use of it, especially in lung diagnostics. My main questions are:

Is it used frequently in your facility? What are the main application areas? Is there any significant diagnostic advantage compared to other methods (SPECT/FRT/HR-CT)?

I am very eager to read your answers, it is really an interesting topic!

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/
