To the rad techs: How do you respond when someone says "You know that isn't the side that hurts" when you take a lateral?

I've had this happen several times lately and I want to find the right balance between "I have done this thousands of times and you have no idea how radiography works. So maybe trust the professional" and explaining to them that "x-rays pass all the way through the tissue so it would look nearly the same either way and this is the standard way of capturing a lateral image of this body part".

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/
