Thank you for your kind comments. So glad that you were able to enjoy the video. Even if it was 15 minutes late. Radiology exams are sometimes easy and sometimes very difficult, as you know. And it’s nice to go to KZbin to see how other people do the same things. So I’m glad you were able to get some benefit out of my video. Have a great day, a great career, and thanks for watching my videos. Jeff.

I needed this about...15 minutes ago!!! Def saved for future purposes. Unfortunately there wasn't much left of the elbow joint that was in-tact so I got what I could. This video's suggestions would have made a huge difference in the images I got.

Isn’t the centering 1inch below the corocoid process?

My program director has stated that a true lateral at 90 degrees will have some magnification and separation of the ribs due to divergence of the beam and SID. By rotating the torso past 90 degrees just to superimpose the ribs, we are not taking a true lateral. The goal is to take a lateral, not to superimpose the ribs. Maybe some rads want the superimposition, maybe not. But it's important to know what you're doing and why.

You should mention the degree of the CR angle needing to be 3-5 Caudal for 18cm or less for pelvic thickness. also for the Lateral 5-7 Cephalic angle is needed for CR in addition to the 20-30 degree flexion of the knee.

@jeffmaggie Жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for leaving a comment. So after you’re finished getting all your angles for the head, and your central array is going through the bottom of the nose in the a.m. All you need to do from there is lower the tube vertically without changing the tube angle.and that’s when you want to come in at the corner of the mouth. Hope this helps. And thanks for watching my videos. Jeff.

When you say your suggested centring point (the higher one), and then move it down - do u mean move the angle down? And how much angle? Thanks. Amanda

For the AP elbow - could you also just have the patient's elbow in a lateral position and shoot it x-table?
@jeffmaggie Жыл бұрын
That might be possible, depending on how far past 90° extension you can get. But otherwise, if you shooting directly for an AP elbow in the arms flex, it won’t work.

I did the axial view this way for many years but ended up doing an erect projection because flexion of the ankle joint was easier. Remember that centring points mean nothing. Changing tube angle only changes collimation. Here is my video of the greatest error taught in radiography regarding the geometry of a projection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4O3aKqmhL-godEsi=_ITM7u2ez3uuOFA7
@thevoiceharmonic Жыл бұрын
My 40 years of radiography tells me that your instruction is as irrelevant as the text books. I hope you realise just how pointless centering points are. Have a look at my non centring lowest dose video kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJTZeWRngsuai9Esi=WgEeF1atFVYXRnFb. There is no exact technique. Some people have anatomy that makes perfection impossible. Others have anatomy that make it easy. All you need is to show the top teeth and the base of the skull in profile. I also do mine at 180cm

do they keep their mouth closed while lining up the bottom of the nose and EAM and then bring the light down and ask them to open their mouth?
@jeffmaggie Жыл бұрын
Yes, the way I do it. They do not need to open their mouth at all to see the top of the teeth because after you get them lined up, so the bottom of the nose in the EAM are perpendicular to the plate just have them open their mouth by lowering their jaw and you can kind of keep your hand on therefore head from the side if you’re approaching them from the side or if you’re looking directly at them, you can just hold the skull and have them drop their chin down if they do tip up a little bit weight and then when they fully opened, have them tip their neck down and that should resolve it. Thanks for watching on my videos and have a great day. Jeff.

ive been trying to find a video on how to do a lateral trauma on a forearm if they cant turn their hand (in a thumbs up position) to get the radius and ulna superimposed. One tech i saw just x-rays it with the hand pronated and said its ok since its trauma. But i dont think thats right

Great trick. Cant wait to try it. But Isn’t dropping the tube an extraneous step? Why not just have the CR already aimed at the open mouth and adjust the angle of the skull to AML?
@jeffmaggie Жыл бұрын
I always start with the angle going through the bottom of the nose and the EAM. And then from there, it’s just a simple adjustment of the tube downwards to the corner of the mouth. But this is only a suggestion. Hope it works which ever message you use. Thanks for leaving a comment, Jeff.

So....basically do what they teach us in the book with an extra step added....🤔
@jeffmaggie Жыл бұрын
Yep, that’s right. Follow the book and then after that look at the patient and check to see if the bottom of the nose is perpendicular to the plate intersecting through the EAM. For an extra advantage, after your rotoring ask the patient to open their mouth wider. They can always do it and you get a better picture. Usually they can open their mouth a little wider if you ask them right before exposure.

Thank you for this video and your channel! You break things down nicely. In my program, we have to pass our comps on the first try for our clinical grade. Successful repeat attempts will not count. It's A LOT of pressure to get things right on the first try. Not looking forward to the surgical/OR rotation, especially since we don't have those machines to practice with in lab.
