C-Arm tips

Hey all, I’m back in the OR after a long hiatus due to my schedule. I’m looking for tips and advice on gaining confidence with using the C-Arm frequently.

I know that as I do OR continuously it will become more fluid and natural but, right now, I feel uncertain about it (I had 2 days of training and was thrown in full time). I’m trying my hardest and do my best to show confidence because floundering can be the kiss of death with certain docs. I do communicate with the providers when needed & an building a good rapport.

We use Siemens, 3 flat plates and 3 different rounds, case and doctor preference dependent. A different round for ERCP’s and bronch’s.

Any advice for centering, positioning, etc? I’m open to anything. 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/
