Dose for pediatric head ct?

My almost 1 year old fell down 11 stairs 4 days ago (I left the basement door open and I’m not sure I’ll ever stop feeling guilty). He was acting normally after crying for 10 minutes but had swelling under his eye which has now bruised. They still did ct scan to make sure there was no impact (?) to the brain. I’m now worried about the radiation. When I called the hospital to ask for the dose they said it was “256 milligrade” and wouldn’t give me the exact unit. Does that mean 256 milli-msv? Would that be 3 times one regular x-ray?

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/
