Understanding Statement re: Spinal Fusion Hardware Moving?

By

Hello,

35F, multi-trauma injuries, many rx, super-morbid obesity, psychological issues.

I was approved for SSDI recently after a three year long battle following total disability from a near-fatal car accident. My approval letter notes something that greatly concerns me and I'm hoping I can get some answers here. I've sent a message to my new ortho surgeon who's taken over my case after my move from NY to VA, but have not heard back. I don't think my original surgeon would answer me as I'm no longer under his care. Spinal fusions were 2/2019, here is the section of concern:

"Moreover, the clamant's 2021 radiological examinations continued to demonstrate significant positive findings. A July 29, 2021 x-ray of the thoracolumbar spine showed findings of post-surgical changes of the thoracolumbar spine and bony resorption about the pedicle screws at L3 was suggestive of loosening."

Can someone please explain what this means? Thank you, kindly.

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/
