D-Dimer

By

Had an 83 year old ER patient with chest and shoulder pain and a room air O2 sat of 89%. Cardiac labs came back normal. D-dimer was critically elevated at 700. ER doc ordered chest and shoulder X-rays and a CT c-spine (no hx of trauma, but thought something in his neck could be causing shoulder pain.) Everything came back normal. I finally asked the ER doc if he was worried about the d-dimer, and he said no. He said it was normal for his age. He refused to order a PE study. This is brand new information for me. Anyone else?

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/
