Incorrect CT Reading and Exposure Limits

Been having terrible TMJ lately and was referred by my TMJ specialist to have a neck CT done w and w/o contrast. There was an incidental finding of minor fibrotic changes in the apical lungs.

Had to get a follow up chest CT w/o contrast that showed everything clear no issues

Just curious how one guy see something and the other doesn’t. At this point I’m assuming the 2nd all clear is the right one.

2nd question i know you guys get a lot. But I’ve had a done of work up over the last 2.5 years with differing opinions from radiologists on my exposures.

Age 32 A HIDA scan, a gastric emptying and an upper GI.

Age 34 this year - 3 upper GIs, a neck CT w/ and w/o contrast and the chest CT. Both CTS were with in a week of each other. Not sure if that matters or not.

Just seems like a ton of exposure to me but radiologist and doctors have differing opinions if it’s been a lot or not.

AI for radiology - A survey

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/
