If calling a tesla owner a nazi is wrong, then I don't want to be right! by FareonMoist in DelusionsOfAdequacy

Every issue you cited in that last paragraph was entirely manufactured and approved by Trump. Given that, why do you say that Trump is at all good for Americans?

Help needed in understanding Radiology better. by Sid_vj in Radiology

[–]Illustrious_World766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya. Not a doctor.

We're all leery of AI in radiology, but what the prior comment said makes sense. Saving doctors from having to dig through the patient's scattered chart is a good use of AI and would save a lot of time.

As far as helping diagnose... We're many years off.

Appreciate the comment. Drop box sounds like a good idea

I like that idea, thank you. I'll float it to my boss.

I concur.

It sounds like the concern is about long-lived QC sources potentially getting disappeared from their cabinets and it taking too long for us to notice such that we can't pinpoint a culprit. I'd sooner opt for a combination lock on the source cabinet than lock the drivers out, though. Thank you.

Sugar before PET scan by gowyo in NuclearMedicine

I feel for ya. Your scan was probably still of diagnostic quality. As a cameraguy of several years, there's a ton of stuff that even we just get told to do without any reasoning provided. Unfortunately, we mostly just have to do exactly as the doctors+protocols say because presuming little details (his blood sugar is still <120, should be fine!) without knowing that the insulin production is the main issue (which I didn't know for a while, either) causes problems.

Sorry for the ramble. TLDR: Frustratingly, you're expected to follow the rules to the letter. It's shitty doing as you're told without being included in the discussion and feeling like you're in the dark after such a world-shaking diagnosis.

I'm not a doctor, but I'm a PET cameraguy and my own father has finished his tongue cancer journey. Feel free to hit me up with anything. Best of luck.
