My son had an X-ray today and something happened that I think is a bit odd.

My son needed an x-ray on his arm today. The radiographer invited me into the x-ray room in the hospital, which I found unusual because they normally insist on parents staying outside while the x-ray is taken.

Long story short the radiographer took two X-rays while I was standing next to my son and not behind the glass screen. I was expecting him to ask me to get behind the screen at some point.

I've only had two X-rays in my entire life so I assume there wasn't any real danger to me, at the same time I kind of feel that maybe I shouldn't have been where I was when the x-rays were taken.

I do apologise if this is a really silly question and I don't want to offend anyone, but I just feel that something not quite right happened.

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/
