kVp calculation

By

(funny misprint, not homework help)

So, the question in my book is "Using a base kVp of 50, how much kVp is needed for a cervical spine that measures 13 m (sic) in the AP projection?" Now, I haven't encountered any patients in clinic yet with a 13 meter thick neck, but if I add two times the part thickness to the baseline kVp as the book says, it should be (1,300*2) + 50, for an optimal kVp of 2,650. Does that sound right?

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/
