Lateral elbow means lateral humerus and that is best done PA, particularly when the arm is in a sling because of a broken humerus

At 3.00 we can see that light and therefore, primary beam will miss the bucky and the collector and hit the wall, so that is dose for no reason. This happens again at 6.02. Always begin with a normal PA chest but with 65kV. The portable lead screen is useless. Just use accurate collimation. The gonads of women are naturally protected from scatter from the collimator due to ovaries being surrounded by a lot of flesh and bone.

I would reduce the dose by at least a half by being more accurate with the collimation. I would never ever use a centring point, just knowledge of anatomy

Please make a video on the Y view AP.

AWESOME!! You are the Ribmaster!

If its pain on the PA side isnt it away from the IR and if its on the AP side its towards the IR

Why use T7 as a centring point when it is of no value when assessing the film. Guessing the collimation top and bottom will usually mean giving the thyroid an unnecessary dose. I would use an aluminium filter to equalise the exposure and reduce sternum and thyroid dose. Never assume your patient will be in perfect postural position. Introduce a side bend in the back by lowering the hip and raising the shoulder, then angle the tube to be perpendicular to that arc. Notice in my low dose video how I always try to collimate within the skin edge. th-cam.com/video/KWf6rFOFlI4/w-d-xo.html

For an accurately collimated series, look at my video. th-cam.com/video/ZcvH11MfgUo/w-d-xo.html

Excluding the thyroid and the sternum from the projections is the most important radiation protection you can give. Remember that centring points are not important. It makes no difference if you centre 2 inches higher or lower as that amount of angle is lost in the variations in posture. Also remember that the shoulders can be shrugged up or down, shrugged forwards or backwards. A large or obese patient scapula will be closer to the chest wall than a skinny person. Don't use a grid for small patients

Weird rules of thumb have been used for a century and though they work, they also limit the learning possible from each projection. Even saying 'centre on L3' is illogical because the position of L3 can't be known until after the radiograph, and even then, it is not used to determine the success or failure of the xray. It is better to collimate accurately and use the Light beam diaphragm to ensure the anatomy is include and the exposed region reduced to a minimum. With an AP lumber spine, ensure the sacrum will be on the bottom of the image by determining the position of the symphysis pubis and ensuring it is not included in the beam. Most laterals will need tube angulation as the pelvis is wider than the waist. Posturally position by raising the shoulder and lowering the hip the patient lies on, then from palpating the spine, make the beam perpendicular to the sway. My technique produces perfection 9/10 whereas the standard is usually 3 out of 10 for conventional radiographers. Watch this video to ensure you are not part of the majority who don't understand the geometry of each projection th-cam.com/video/mZPD_gLs5Dw/w-d-xo.html

Never guess the collimation. Open up the collimator to define how large the area, then limit to within the size of the collector. That didn't happen in the video. Radiation would have missed the top of the collector and the bottom. The sternum was included. The thyroid was exposed. The obliques continued to expose the body of the sternum and all of the thyroid which was appropriate in 1920 when the projections were devised, but not after 1970 when the Light Beam Diaphragm caused its revolution. We don't judge the success of the images by seeing if we got C4 in the middle. A better technique is to use the collimate to show you where the anatomy is. Remember that tube angulation will not change the position of the focus, so the geometry will not change

She’s a great teacher.

👏👏👏👏

Xrays are cool and they sure helped me.🥳

This is partly wrong. If you have no rotation of the chest on a lateral chest x-ray, the ribs will not superimpose. The right rib will be thrown posterior to the left rib.You need to angle forward slightly so there’s a little bit of light on the left ribs and then you have a superimpose nicely. If there’s no light at all on the left ribs in the back, then you need to go forward.

No marker

I still don't get it.

Lol the lateral is 40’’ also the ap is an axial!!! Wrong wrong wrong wrong!!!

Everyone of these videos is using a person who is skinny and easy to do. Almost every shoulder xray I do anymore is either a fat slob and you can't feel the landmarks, or they're whiners and wherever you touch them they whine and say stop. I wish I could find a way to do a scapular Y without palpating.

For a Left Lateral of the C-Spine the SID is @72". Also the positioning provided in the video for the LAT C-Spine is incorrect. The pt. always faces the wall on their left side.

Is that a true lateral or an oblique view!??

that’ll be cool if you posted an xray sample of how it looks. but thanks for video

Very helpful! Thank you!

Very good

very nice

Humm. Humm humm

Good job, thank you :)

on obliques lpo we do markings farthest away.

should be patient oblique

She's gorgeous!!!!

please upload more video. your videos are more detailed. thank you so much for this.
