Is this normal behavior for a thyroid biposy?

Is it normal during a thyroid biposy for the sanitary paper to be placed on a female patient's abdomen and smoothed out by the radiologist by gliding hands over a breast?

Is it also normal for the radiologist to reach in the female patient's bra and tuck the sanitary paper in the bra? I was wearing the medical gown and a bra on top and fully dressed on the bottom.

I experienced an uncomfortable situation during a thyroid biposy and am unsure how to handle it and on my previous post someone said to comment here and ask about normal behavior during the procedure. I did have one other thyroid biposy five years ago, but did not experience anything like this.

It might be worth mentioning that after the sanitary paper was tucked into my bra I removed the radiologist hands immediately with my hands and started saying something, but was loudly talked over by the radiologist then after was given the shot of lidocaine in my thyroid and was told I couldn't talk or swallow during the procedure. Radiologist rushed out of the room after procedure was over.

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/
