CT Scan and Amount of Radiation

By

Hi there!

I have a pretty basic question. Forgive me if it sounds unreasonable - I ask without any knowledge about how it works. So... i've came a cross a table that informs you what type of CT scans (head, stomach, heart, etc.) gives you the least and the most amount of radiation. Can i know how it works exactly? Is the amount of radiation something which could be simply selected on the machine by a technican who does the tests? Or is the amount of radiation unchangeably assigned to the machine and only the length of the test is the only factor that determines how much radiation you'll get?

Thank you!

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/
