Forearm X-Ray for Burns

This poor guy burned his arm pretty badly yesterday. He comes into our ED. The ED doc orders a forearm x-ray. in my 10 years as a tech i've never done x-ray for a burn.

I wanted to ask her what exactly she thought she would see on X-ray but this doc is kind of a bitch. She automatically thinks you're questioning her authority if you ask a question or two about an exam she orders.

Anyone want to chime in with what she was looking for. I googled it and didn't find any where it says to do x-ray for burns.

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/
