Embolized venous fistulas using Onyx glue

Embolized venous fistulas using Onyx glue

These are my embolized venous fistulas at left T11 & T8. I’m still suffering symptoms of a csf leak, so there are likely more fistulas in my back, but I’m thankful to have had transvenous embolization as my treatment for these two. The doctor went in through a femoral vein up to the level of the fistulas where he then injected Onyx glue to occlude the vein. This treatment was only invented in 2020 by an interventional neuroradiologist at Mayo Clinic- prior to that, I would’ve had to have open back surgery to locate and seal off veins that were siphoning off my cerebrospinal fluid!

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/
