[@glennskinner1309]

Hey Rey! I am an instructor for techs, been a tech since the early 80's, and I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!!

[@sjohnson1691]

Your vids are really making this career change decision easier thank you for taking the time to put them out 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@XRAYREY]

Happy to help!

[@wendyurbina5522]

Practicing this in lab this week! Thanks Rey!

[@XRAYREY]

perfect timing! Hope it helped

[@TwitdaJ808]

Rey I bought your horizontal Technique Card and it is amazing. I got my classmates into it and they are looking at buying one to!

[@XRAYREY]

Thank you for the support! Tell them if they buy as a class I can hook everyone up with a discount. email me [e-mail] Make sure you leave a picture review on the website please! I'll send you some merch.

[@TwitdaJ808]

@@XRAYREY I left a picture review of this card and how I rock it. My Markers have radhesive on them and they stick and hold on to the card amazingly and the paint/picture does not peel or fade so you know your card is great quality!

[@hveird]

@@TwitdaJ808 i am using this card to hold my markers as well. Lol

[@jaquta69]

Love this, great refresher, Thanks

[@susannalegorreta8134]

Such a great and helpful video! Thank you. Is there any way you can do a video on marker placements on the bucky? and on the table top if done in recumbent?

[@ajlaramedina]

I recommended your chanel to all my students! I wished I found your videos when I was a student.

[@XRAYREY]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate you

[@evelynvillalpando3274]

Your videos inspire me to become an X-ray technician!

[@XRAYREY]

hopefully technologist and not technician! =)

[@goingnuclear7265]

You have a pretty cool and spacious xray room. Ive worked at some clinics that barely had any space lol. Usually when that happens the place is a dump lol

[@XRAYREY]

Well this is the ideal room I like to record in. Minus the auto detent LOL The other rooms aren't too nice on the eyes

[@thevoiceharmonic]

Never include abdomen and iliac crests and humerus in the projection. Never include both sides when one side is injured. Be sure to use the correct kV as it is different to a lung exposure. Let accurate collimation be your guide. If it is not collimated to the region of interest, it is a failed examination as far as dose goes.

[@jeremyz8020]

May I ask you some questions? In the unilateral, should it be 40”? And why he used RAO for the anterior injury on the right side?

[@thevoiceharmonic]

​@@jeremyz8020 FFD doesn't matter a lot, just compensate with exposure. I just direct the xrays to the region required. Steep obliques can show anterior rib injuries. All we need to do is show the injury in standard and supplementary projections, AP, oblique and perhaps, steep oblique. We can find more information about the injury position from the patient and adjust our technique accordingly.

[@JoeBrannin]

This video helped me a lot man, thanks. Would love to see positioning for scapula, and anything skull related like Townes, Caldwell, Waters etc.

[@XRAYREY]

skull work coming up soon!

[@CapitalMforMotivated]

Great tips on imaging ribs mate. They can be a head scratcher for new grad techs for sure. You get bonus points for the funky bone shoes. Thanks again for the awesome video from Aussie by way of NZ

[@legioxequestris4202]

Saw your graduation in your intro. I didn't get a graduation cause if stupid covid :( Two years of hard work and didn't even get to walk. Oh well I guess, atleast I graduated passed the registry first time.

[@XRAYREY]

haha well as much as not walking sucks, you were able to do the most important thing LOL congrats!

[@drewdivision86]

Oblique bilat ribs is shot at 40 or 72 inches?

[@matthewatlas311]

Shoutout idol rey. I’m also a Radiographer here in the Philippines!

[@XRAYREY]

LOVE!

[@edwardlaw797]

In terms of patient radiation exposure, is it the same as regular Chest X-Ray at 0.01-0.02 mSv? Thank you. Let's say 3 images for a left/right Rib Series to diagnose a patient with suspected fracture, what would be the cumulative OR individual exposure. I believe RS adjust the power and field of view not sure how much it changes the radiation amount to the patient.

[@Lifeof-a-shortgirl]

Do more views pls. I have exams

[@gloriasouza163]

aprendendo ingles e estudando para concursos. Tudo pelo seu canal. You are awesome !

[@harichakrabarty2664]

Nice instruction & Explanation for the Radiological Technician like us. Good approach Brother. Please carry on and go ahead. We had no practical guidance before 35 yrs, back, something like this as from you. Very Good & helpful practical teaching. I respect & love my profession 10 times more as before & till now.

[@sublingnitro]

Radiography student in Oregon checkin in!

[@XRAYREY]

Hello!

[@ruthchandrelle2427]

Thank you Rey, You made my day I was discouraged earlier because I missed a comp. Would you please make a video on erect KUB? Thanks stay blessed brother

[@goingnuclear7265]

Awesome vid bro we do chest and ribs basically the same way. I knew a tech who did them wrong and good thing he was open about getting some pointers. If i knew a vid like this existed i would have shared it to him.

[@miazulueta1]

these videos are getting me through my practicals. I know doing recumbent is a pain but can you do some of the exams that you can do recumbent and erect?

[@snape-itachiel6167]

18:10 this is exactly what I think too

[@jimmyg645]

Rey is living his best life. You are a blessing to all of us upcoming Rad Techs.
