[Layman question] Life-long chain smoker with tuberculosis?

[Layman question] Life-long chain smoker with tuberculosis?

Greetings sub!

Sorry if silly question, I don't know where to ask. I'm a nurse working in countryside of 3rd world country and radiologists here are difficult to find.

The X-ray image annexed shows the chest of 58 years old black man, life-long chain smoker with severe Anemia, Thrombocytopenia and 20 mg/dl C-reactive protein. I think I'm seeing some poorly defined margins on right side, witch I understand as something related to tuberculosis. Cans someone give any insight?

Any help will be immensely appreciated.

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/
