Possible stupid question regarding pediatric ct scans

By

So when my kid was one year old he was running and he slipped and fell and hit his head really hard. I panicked and took him to the children’s hospital, they did a ct scan on him and he was fine. Now, I’m concerned because I do not remember if his soft spots/fontanelles were completely closed at the time of the scan, it is possible that they were or were pretty much closed but it’s possible they weren’t fully closed yet. I’m not even sure if it matters if they are fully closed or not, and if it does why didn’t they recommend an ultrasound? My concern is, if they were not fully closed yet would this have made the scan even more riskier, meaning radiation was directly on the brain rather than just on his skull? I’m really worried at the thought of that and now the risks he might have after the scan. If anyone can help me with this that would be great. 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/
