Question about markers on an MRI (cross-posted).

By

Hi, cross-posting from the MRI subreddit. Like I said there, thank you everyone here for being helpful and answering the questions of nervous normies like me! Not an interpretation Q. I hope this is allowed.

I had an abdomen/pelvis MRI with & without contrast to locate a small mass that was detected on an ultrasound. (Not described as a mass on the report, but as a hypoechoic area.) The scan was done over 2 days because they couldn’t get a vein for the pre-contrast images.

I was told to place the MRI stickers/ markers below and above the mass, but I accidentally placed the bottom marker DIRECTLY on the mass… rather than below it.

Could this have obscured the area of interest, causing the radiologist to “miss” the area when viewing my scans? The report was unremarkable, though the lump is still palpable / painful. Thank you!

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/
