Any old school Xray Techs?

By

I had a chest xray 30 years ago as a child for pneumonia. My mother and the tech stayed in the room, were as today they leave the room. While inquiring about differences in xray 30 years ago vs. today, a 69 year old gentleman stated they did foot xrays to purchase school shoes. BLEW MY MIND! (That's a way cool fact IMO)
What's the difference in xrays today vs. 30 years ago? (besides the film) I'd assume that xrays back then used more radiation than they do today, or do they not, but regulations changed because the findings of radiation?
Any other cool facts to contribute?

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/
