Tips & tricks for finding the crest?

Brand new 2nd yr student, here!

I am trying to improve my ability to use landmarks when positioning the center ray.

Lately, I have come across some bigger patients and have had trouble locating ASIS and the iliac crest. A couple techs that I've spoke to don't even have to palpate and when I ask how, they say it just comes with time.

Does anyone have any tricks or tips? This should be easy by now, but these last few clinical days have thrown some curve balls.

Thank you!!

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/
