HOW TO X-RAY an ELBOW in a GURNEY | trauma | radiology program | radtech

Yo what's going on Skeleton Crew?! LOL You like what I did there? Anywho.. I know it's been awhile. A WHOLE YEAR since my last upload to be exact. I'll explain in a future video on what I've been up to and catch you up. But I'm back with a new video for you all. This time it's how to image an elbow with trauma in a gurney.
This is a real life situation, as I've had multiple patients arrive to me in a gurney in the exact condition. Some more severe than others. Some less severe than others. This is just one of many situations you may have your patient in.
Hit that like button if you appreciate these positioning videos. I put a lot of time into them, and a like goes a very long way.
If you have any questions or comments leave them down below and I'll do my best to reply as soon as I can.

If you could do me a solid and please help me get to 15K SUBS for my birthday! Tell your classmates, your teachers, your CP’s, etc. Anyone that will find value in my channel. The big day is 9/23 this Friday! AND to give back, I’m picking one lucky sub to get a FREE *NEW* X-ray Rey Bomber Jacket! This one is part of my new collection with the new branding. All you have to do is 1.) Tell someone to sub 2.) Guess my age I’ll be turning and 3.) Let me know what video you want to see next. LEAVE ALL THAT in the comment section down below. I’ll pick a random winner by the end of the month. And if you aren’t lucky, the new merch should be available early October! Thanks for all the love and support! I appreciate you all. Hope all is well. I’m looking forward to getting more material out there for the radiology fam! YOU HAVE GREATNESS WITHIN YOU!

And yesterday I finally took and PASSED my registry!!!😆🎉🎊 Thank you so, so much for doing what you can to assist those who are on this journey to earn those initials (RT) idk where I’d be if it wasn’t for your consistent demonstrations of intricate routines and just personal experiences when it comes to certain aspects of the X-ray program and diagnostic imaging. I now got the chance to feel that same feeling you had in your other intro and maaaan does it feel great to finally be DONE!!! Thank you again, God bless you and keep doing what you’re doing brother!

[@XRAYREY]

Awww.. Thanks love for pushing me and holding me accountable. All of this is you, too ❤️

[@cynthiaescobedo1271]

Your Back ! We’ve missed you! ..hope to see more of your amazing content , helps with my anxiety (just knowing I’ll be taking my prerequisites in spring ) thank you!

[@XRAYREY]

missed you too! Hope all the content will help lower that learning curve for you

[@MRIMan]

That intro was 🔥 and that jacket is dope. Your content is always on point!

[@XRAYREY]

Appreciate it!!

[@ladycaparino4849]

just started my clinical rotation!! and ur video is one of my Referrences! keep uploading, and i'll keep streaming!! 💗

[@XRAYREY]

Good luck! happy to help

[@cierracristler6246]

Perfect timing! I start clinicals in two weeks. Just finished up chest and abdomen. Next topic is upper extremity. Glad to see you back!

[@XRAYREY]

Perfect! You got this

[@4Kxray]

Love the new intro and sharp editing!

[@XRAYREY]

Appreciate it!

[@Samson-dn4eo]

For the next video you can go over how to position for a y view shoulder in a gurney lying down and sitting up please

[@koroko506]

Yessss pleaaaaaase

[@XRAYREY]

that's a good one! I'll get on that. Got a few ahead of that I need to edit and upload first.

[@Righteous_Reapers]

Thank you for everything.. absolutely GREAT videos 👍

[@alanolea1388]

Yessss plzzz I suck at Y's in the gurney lol

[@shohrehpizza]

recently I have started work at a hospital in Canada. I have a 10 year experience in Iran but I have the problem to explain positioning to patients. I appreciate you, your videos give me clues.

[@LinhNguyen-ne2sg]

i love your content! using these videos as a guide to what my career might look like. currently in a community college completing my pre-reqs and gen ed before applying into the RT program😁

[@XRAYREY]

I'm so glad! Obviously take this as an idea of what to expect. What is not shown is the pressure and anxiety of the numerous patients waiting and/or their condition of pain

[@marcx-ray]

and hes backkkk! just applied to the program hopefully i get in. I was also lucky enough that I got to volunteer.

[@XRAYREY]

Nice! Those volunteer hours will help ten fold

[@ruthngouomo]

Hi Rey! I hope you're doing great. Thank you for the videos. Hope to see more from you. Stay blessed

[@Samson-dn4eo]

I hardly doubt that image would like that the way you positioned for a lateral elbow.

[@noellutsey5620]

I was thinking the exact same thing. That lateral elbow x-ray looks like the patient was had their wrist in a lateral position but his positioning says the opposite

[@jasoncruz5317]

Perfect timing to start uploading again. I just started the radiology program

[@XRAYREY]

congrats! and welcome to the start of your journey

[@sunsetbutterfly2799]

let’s goooooo!!! You’re back

[@XRAYREY]

hello 👋🏽 😄

[@sunsetbutterfly2799]

I’ve been watching you for a year now way before I started my program. Your videos HELP. classmates bring your name up in my class for other students: “There’s this guy on KZbin named x-Ray ra-“ “Omg I watch him too!” Glad you’re back, love the intro! The Tesla got me hype. Glad you’re enjoying your fruits from your labor !!!

[@FISHINGWITHDRACO]

ayyy your back making videos, these videos looking HD!

[@XRAYREY]

More to come! LFG 😤

[@amb9841]

Been waiting for this! Youre the best Rey! I hope you also consider doing trauma for spines. Like decubitus t or l spine and cspines and open mouth please!

[@XRAYREY]

I have more flexibility for filming exams, so that is def a possibility down the road. Right now I have several videos I'm finishing up. Thank you for the recommendations

[@RyanAndrewShipley]

Let’s go! 🔥🔥

[@XRAYREY]

yessssir!

[@7rlalko]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP. WHEN I THOUGHT MY CAREER WAS ICK, YOU INSPIRED, I AM MORE THAN THRIVING..THANK YOU AND GOD OF COURSE...

[@XRAYREY]

love to hear that! You have greatness within you!

[@911loveyou]

Just wanted to say thanks for your videos! I’m a second year student and your videos really have helped me :) Also, I still struggle with how to match the angle to the patient I’m not sure if you can give tips on that or if it just comes with time

[@XRAYREY]

I'm here to help! Check out my recent video on the wrist in a gurney. I have on there is some graphics that may help you visualize what I see.

[@NexIpsum]

nice radial head variation for gurney

[@Always-intentional]

Where you been ray? In the lab I see. I like the new intro. I passed my registry a few days ago as well.

[@Samson-dn4eo]

Hey congrats man, I got another year to go 😅

[@Always-intentional]

@@Samson-dn4eo keep pushing. That year will go by fast.

[@XRAYREY]

Life happened lol But I'm back. And yes I have been, got some new content for ya'll. Thank you! and congrats! Love to hear it! Welcome to the tech life!

[@XRAYREY]

the last year will go so fast after you get into a routine.

[@Always-intentional]

@@XRAYREY I completely understand that. My channel is coming up soon with the first video.

[@AidanF3838]

hey do you think you could give some tips for x-ray basics maybe going from most common xrays used to the lesser common xrays used. I just started x-ray tech school and am still trying to get my bairing any advice would be appreciated too.

[@XRAYREY]

I have several other most common routine exams uploaded with tips. The recent ones "trauma" would be the more advanced or "less common" x-ray exams. The true less common routine exams will be uploaded in time.

[@AidanF3838]

@@XRAYREY thanks man

[@sumeyan8]

I'm second year student. I had a pt with truma dislocations in the elbow. The pt was screaming and asking me not to move her at all . She said the pain was almost like Given a birth.

[@karliewatson3862]

What about obliques in gurney or wheel chair with limited rom of arm and head in the way?

[@jonhwayne4504]

What pre-reqs did you take in college

[@XRAYREY]

My pre-reqs will differ from you. I recommend you going to an allied health counselor to see which ones you need to take

[@paiwandparwez3952]

I think there are no excuse for not performing a lateral and replacing it by a supplementary view! try harder for obtaining it, keep your patient comfort! many thanks.

[@XRAYREY]

Not sure if understand your comment. However, if the patient is in pain there is limitations and you must get whatever image you can

[@Usmanbhai0]

Hi

[@Usmanbhai0]

Hi ray

[@XRAYREY]

Hey 👋🏽

[@cv1dersns]

I’m sorry great for patient….but none of those X-rays are gonna come out looking good like that, nice angles but still they will be some distortion the way you have the patients positioned
