Ribs

[@kelseywaggoner122]

THANK YOU!!!! Good video, was perfect to refer to! (second year student here)

[@cal31BRIAN23]

Thanks for making these videos man, i appreciate it!

[@midosasuke]

Although I graduated and working on my MSc degree now but i enjoyed this video ❤️❤️❤️

[@dexniter]

Great summary! Thanks

[@mariahqueenchavez3020]

Very good. I like your explanation.

Nice videos but I hope people don't actually use those techniques he said. 50 at 50 is ridiculously to much exposure to the patient. Raise that Kvp lower that mas

[@cyrusvanbeethoven4626]

RT here. That's kind of what I was thinking. To play devil's advocate I think it is situational. If the patient showed many rib fractures on the PA chest x-ray, I may be inclined to use a more potent technique that provided a better contrast of bone/soft tissue (e.g. similar to his 50/50 technique). - Typically though I too tend to raise the KV and lower the mas when appropriate. For example the patient in the video, a typical technique I'd use would be 25-40 mas with 60-90 KV (In person, I'd be a better judge of the patient's size/weight/muscle-fat density which would be some of the predominantly determining factors). To guestimate; I'd probably use 30 mas at 75 KV for the upper ribs, and 35 mas 80 kv for the lower (on this patient). Note* The technique would always be subject to change depending on how each image is materializing. Good comment A Chilson.

It depends on the generator type guys. This is an older video and at his hospital or clinic, they may be using an older, less powerful generator.

[@johnpetrie7615]

Yes it almost sounds like film techniques with a less powerful generator. Today's DR is good around 85kv 16mas

[@Buffy69]

We raise the mas lower kv because we want a short scale with a high contrast for ribs. Want to see the ribs and not the lung field. For a chest its opposite higher kv and lower mas.

[@kimhod3803]

I am studying for a test and have learned 85 kVp @ 12.5 mAs. Is that because the equipment I am learning on is newer?

[@shahzad1k]

Prof. Jeffrey great videos. Very educational. One thing I would like to point out is that shouldn't we suppose to use 10X12 for lower ribs?

[@vincentthigpen4212]

I just want to say thank you.

[@ladyjennifermathews5096]

What if the patient can't breathe good

[@roayajamal425]

And collimation ?!! Meaning ?!

[@cyrildusi7434]

how to demonstrate anterior right ribs fracture clearly? Is it right to do right anterior oblique (RAO) or the otherwise oblique is better. tq.

[@ivyivy6022]

Right rib fracture. You should do PA and LAO

[@haroldwillis5540]

RAO is correct. You’re looking at side down so your right side and your anterior side should be against the Bucky.

[@hveird]

I believe we need to know which part we are looking for: anterior or posterior ribs, are we?

[@TheZetman666]

Why PA? Do the ribs AP since it gets the ribs closer to the film but I guess that's just me being overly cautious with positional anatomy

[@xobrook]

You would do them PA when the injury is to the anterior portion of the ribs.

[@laylalu8588]

Thank you!

[@sagarkumar515]

Thanks sir l m Indian

[@roayajamal425]

What dose anterior mean !??

[@matthewwayne98]

The front side of the body, opposite to posterior, which is the back side.

[@ajwanisiddhant]

@@matthewwayne98 correct

[@carinariana]

What is the kVp and mAs?

[@zenabahmed1193]

It's Factors of radiation
