Pt concerned about radiation

Hi, I’m a radiography student about to graduate. I was watching another student perform shoulder & C-spine X-rays when the patient (past reproductive years) questioned why she wasn’t shielded. The other student offered to grab her one, but she declined & mentioned that she was shielded at the dentist. I explained we couldn’t shield her neck because it’s the area of interest needing to be visualized & the radiation used in the diagnostic range is low. I am curious what techs usually tell their concerned patients when this happens?? For my next similar encounter I want to be better prepared & help them feel more at ease

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/
