Linear energy transfer and sieverts.

I posted a few days ago and wanted to say thank you for the help last time.

I'm not studying radiology or anything healthcare related but I'm working on a physics project. Also I'm bad at math and physics, but onwards.

So my understanding is that sieverts are a measure of how much radiation, type of radiation, and location of radiation in the body to determine the dose someone is exposed to.

Linear energy transfer is how much radiation is being deposited in tissue along its journey of being scattered or emitted from it's source.

These two are linked are they not? Or are they talking about two different phenomenon? Would linear energy transfer be linked to type of radiation and amount?

Or how else could I link them or talk about them?

Thank you!

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/
