➡️ LESSON DESCRIPTION:
This video's objective is to provide detailed instructions for taking routine thoracic spine radiographs. Radiographic positioning included in this video are the anteroposterior (AP), lateral, and lateral swimmers' thoracic spine. *Discuss radiographic techniques using anatomic and projection terminology for the anteroposterior (AP), lateral, and lateral swimmers' thoracic spine. *Apply patient positioning techniques for common thoracic spine radiographs. *List and identify the central ray location, image receptor (IR) size, marker placement, and image receptor placement. *Explain radiographic equipment manipulation for required radiographic examinations. *Describe procedural considerations for required radiographic examinations. *Discuss the relevance of pathology in radiographic procedures. *Explain the rationale for each projection. *Describe the positioning used to visualize anatomic structures.

Very well presented... #John 14:6....

Never use a centring point for AP thoracic spine. Collimate to the top and bottom of the receptor, then use the illuminated field to ensure C7 is half on the top of the image. You don't judge how good an AP thoracic spine is by what is in the middle. You judge it by what is contained within the irradiated field. I have no idea why the dose was suddenly double by opening the collimator so it no longer is a T spine, but a supine. Bending the legs does not straighten out the thoracic spine much and can be ignored. If a primary beam dose is given to the thyroid, or if L2 shows up on the image, it is less than perfect due to dose.
The lateral as demonstrated will not produce the great view of the spine shown in the radiograph. A straight tube simply will not do it given how narrow her waist and how broad her shoulders and hips. Do postural positioning where the shoulder is shrugged up and the hip slid down the table as far as possible. Tube angle perpendicular to the line drawn between T1 and T12. No one knows how to find T7 and the position of T7 on the resultant radiograph is of no interest. Just put C7 on the top of the image. I have no idea why the collimation was opened to include all of the chest. That triples the dose to the body and increases sternum dose by 1000 times more than with good collimation.
The radiography demonstrated are the techniques used before the light beam diaphragm was invented. To see my lowest dose thoracic spine where no centring points are used, watch my video. th-cam.com/video/KWf6rFOFlI4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ngqseHuDldDNm_QD

Thank you so much pro

[@naukadladzieci]

OMG at 1:35 did you open collimation to the whole chest and put the marker outside the collimation???

[@thevoiceharmonic]

Yes. For no reason, she doubled the dose. I am retired and look at all tutor videos. If you truely want to be shocked, look at the Indian subcontinent where collimation is not taught at all. She did the same for the lateral. It is a lateral chest with 3 times the body dose and 1000 times the sternum dose than is required using good radiography techniques

LMAO SHE WENT CRAZY 😂

Your video very helpful
