How relevant are those "blank scan is the equivalent to this amount of time on a plane flight or this amount of time in the sun" type infographics?

By

Whenever people question the safety of getting xrays or scans done I almost always see someone bring out the amount of radiation and then compare that to how many hours of sunlight or plane ride its equivalent too.

The most recent one I saw was someone saying getting a dental CBCT is like a fraction of a couple hours flight. Is that true? There are people that fly around for a living, is it really the same as getting like 2-3 scans a day or something?

people always talk about radiation concerns from x-rays but literally no one ever brings up flight or sun time numbers.

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/
