Even experienced.. I'm 10 years in and all 10 I have worked alone. My first 3 I did mobile, almost everything was by eye. Every scapular Y was done in a reclining chair. And for some reason it was easy. Now I work in an urgent care. The tube has a more restricted motion. It became very difficult. Some people have very different anatomy, some older people have shoulders nearly in the Y position when they are facing you. Sometimes the patient is large and it is impossible to feel any boney landmark. So we need to brush up occasionally on great videos like this.
The entire day I was only doing chest x-rays and right as I was about to clock out the doc ordered a shoulder AP and scap Y. The AP turned out great, the Y on the other hand was fail haha
@@getrealhood One thing that helps is to pay attention to how the condyles are on the AP view. Not everyone has the same anatomy. A cross-table with the IP between the knees is a quick and dirty way to get a high chance of nailing it on the first shot but then you are technically exposing both knees. It's hard to feel guilty though when these hospitals give us cheap rooms that have tubes with limited movement. I had an easier time doing lateral knees when I was a mobile tech. With most mobile tubes you have absolute freedom to angle the tube however you want.
OMG, you have no idea how helpful this video was, thanks so much!!!
I'm a Korean radiologist. Your video was very helpful for inexperienced people. Especially it was impressed to tell the location. Thank you.
Btw hi 👋🏻. I'm future radiographer from Malaysia

Ys and lateral knees are the most difficult for me and I've been doing this for 10 years.
@@danielbrownielomg I’m a student and I hate lateral knees. Even the experienced techs say some days are bad lat knee days lol

@@getrealhoodim also a student but I've been throwing a 7 degree angle on the tube cephalic on my lateral knees to get those condyles superimposed.
Guys i need anatomy and radiology fb groups .
