Sialography

By

These examinations seems rather uncommon and it's somewhat difficult to find out information about them. I'm curious what the effective dose of radiation would be for the CT scan? I imagine the risk of contrast (besides an allergic response) is minimal compared to a typical iodine study as the contrast just navigates around the salivary glands and is completely removed at the end (assuming it's water not oil based)?

Is an MRI (without contrast) a substitute for a sialography, or is a sialography the best way to image the parotid gland?

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/
