Can We Upskill Radiographers through Artificial Intelligence? 

The British Institute of Radiology

Shamie Kumar describes how AI fits into a radiology clinical workflow and her perspective on how a clinical radiographer could use this to learn from and enhance their skills. If the AI findings are seen in PACS, how many radiographers actually log into PACS after taking a scan or X-ray? Can Radiographers Up-Skill?

In addition, WBCT better quantifies 3 the structural deformity of Chopart, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints when compared to conventional radiography and non-weight bearing computed tomography images. However, the severity of deformity and involved joints were difficult to determine on plain radiographs alone. Epub 2021 Jan 27.

WBCT and its Evolving Role in OA Research and Clinical Practice

CurveBeam AI

Key Points: Weight bearing CT (WBCT) can detect signs of osteoarthritis (OA), such as osteophytes, subchondral cysts, and joint space narrowing better than radiographs. Emerging evidence suggests WBCT reveals meniscal extrusion not detected by MRI and WBCT arthrography visualizes meniscal tears. Segal et al.

Diagnosis While radiographs are typically sufficient to make the diagnosis, WBCT scans may be useful to plan surgical treatment. Accurately assess sesamoid position as plain radiographs cannot determine whether the sesamoids have been reduced within their grooves 5. 2021 Jan;134:109419. Journal of the Foot & Ankle.

Lisfranc Fracture Dislocation

Global Radiology CME

A) AP radiograph of Lisfranc Fracture Dislocation demonstrates the circled “fleck sign” or Lisfranc ligament avulsion fracture fragment. (B) C) The lateral radiograph notes with a circle, the dorsal sub dislocation of the metatarsal base. Radiographs should be repeated after two weeks to ensure surgery is unnecessary.
