A question for DEXA radiographers!

Hi all! I recently did a shadowing shift in the DEXA scanner within my workplace. However, I noticed that the room didn’t have a lead screen or any kind of protection for the operator. I was told this is because the dose is so low that it isn’t necessary but I’m still a little worried. Paediatric hospitals use tiny doses in their x ray rooms yet I’m sure they use lead shielding? I just wanted to ask if this is normal or if people on here do use lead shielding in DEXA in their departments?

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/
