[@ml_harley]

bro please don't stop making videos related tk radiology. you're God-sent being for this and i really appreciate everything you're teaching us

[@profezzorx9131]

Can you please cover technical settings like MAS and KVP. I realize all X-Ray machines are calibrated differently, but I was just wondering if you could dive a little deeper into your experiences with those technical aspects in your next video.

[@Ckshoez]

www.pinterest.com/pin/528821181226620506/ Found that chart to be pretty good. Can print it out and make adjustment per your machine. After awhile you will know it by heart. Pay attention and reference to the EI, S-number, DI numbers on the machine. Ask what is their ranges. Kinda give you an idea on how much mAs you need depending on pt habitus.

[@wsblues]

Hey man if you have the time it would be awesome if you did a whole series on how to do all trauma positions and tips and trips on shooting geriatric patients that are weak standing up. Like tips on trips on how to get a weak patient on the table more easily or comfortably. Thanks!!

[@faith1270]

I love your scrub cap! Thank you so much for this video. It’s really informative and taught me a lot & also a great refresher. There literally isn’t another video like this on KZbin!! 🤩

[@brionicolEXO]

Hello Rey! Thank you for making videos like this. I'm a radtech instructor here in the Philippines, and I always encourage my students to watch your videos. They're really helpful. Thank you. More power!

[@XRAYREY]

Thank you for the feedback! Glad I can help!

[@XRAYREY]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for sharing. I know, because I've been there. You got this!

[@evelynhernandez4071]

I love your videos!! I am in sem2, about to go off to clinic and I need the motivation sometimes and these are all tips and tricks that I need to remember!! 🥺

[@XRAYREY]

I appreciate the support! I’m glad i can help. I know how it can be. Sometimes all we need is some motivation. You got this ✊🏽

[@meaghanpiretti7340]

Great Video for students!!

[@Unknown-je2fn]

I heard that there’s a waiting list for RT and it can take up to 5 years.Is that true or it depends on where you at?

[@SamBWinning]

Bro I love your content and I’m really interested In this field but I have a question. I know In my area that rad tech jobs are low and most of them are prn. I would hate to work has prn when I won’t get hours any advice about that? lol

[@navyforeveryoungjean-phili5940]

I’m still confused about the last thing that was demonstrated. I wish you could be my clinical instructor.

[@loeymiles5346]

First semester moving into second student here! Your videos are literally SO HELPFUL! Seriously, thank you! If you’re up for it... can you do a video running over the math/physics you use daily? There are so many topics to learn with these and I want to be able to focus on the concepts that I’m going to be using daily to fully master them 👌🏼 you’re so helpful so THANK YOU!!

[@abigailmoore681]

This is such a thoughtful idea! When I first started xray school and before clinical sites, I took a picture of one of our lab's tube, printed it out, and put it on a clipboard so I could "practice" what controls moved it which direction. Kinda silly but it helped me when it came to practicals!

[@sinahaase9923]

Question: are there any machines you can’t physically operate with 1 arm?

I absolutely love the pep talks you give!!! I'm currently in my externship and I use all of the extra knowledge you give in your videos!!!

[@lateralus2282]

His long in the beginning did it tAke u to learn MAs and kvp? I’m in my first week and it’s intense

[@brownskinbeauty.]

@@lateralus2282 that's most likely because it's new to you. As you get further in the program those technical factors are contantly drilled in your head. So don't worry if you don't catch on right away

[@TejRecordz]

Update

[@blissfulmom21]

Thank you!!

[@nov0656]

Where’d you get the shoes at ?

[@kristyregister457]

When you were in the program how did you go about studying positioning? My professors only show us the positions one time and then they test us the next lab day. So right now I’m struggling because we are not allowed extra lab time. Any advice you give is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

[@somthing_cool2257]

[@julianiguado5985]

[@tonyhtran]

Hey Rey. Where did you buy those sick bandanas from? Going to need one now that hairdressers aint going to be open for he next couple of weeks and I need something good and professional to hide that overgrowth/

[@brenavarra3685]

Your videos have truly made me so prepared for radiography school haha my professors are always like “how do you know that already” my only response ever is “X-Ray, Ray” my entire class now watched your videos too! Thanks for being so informative!

[@gtownrivera]

I noticed you have tattoos, I have a sleeve on one arm and at the school I’m applying for the paperwork mentioned that tattoos are to be fully covered during entire course and clinicals. So we’re supposed to wear those arms sleeves, did you experience anything like this?

[@jgmartinez3349]

tony rivera once in the program. You’ll be able to get by the clinical rules of each center/hospital you go to. Which is usually allowed as long as they aren’t offensive (nudity/profanity/discriminatory). I have half sleeves on both and they didn’t mind them showing.

[@LoneStarStinger]

I’ve noticed a lot more hospitals are updating policies to allow them. Varies by facility.

[@Always-intentional]

Ray.. is it possible for you to do videos on how to actually read x-rays. I start school in march.

[@LeeLee-oc9mp]

I am interested in Radiology Tech, can I do a quick information interview with you? about 10 mins, or we can just chat over email or whatever works for you. I am thinking to do this career. I just want to talk with someone to know what is like. Thank you.

[@reign3642]

do you need strength when taking this program? Im little i'm also short and obviously i dont have much strength if ever

[@adolfoflores660]

I’m applying to X-ray school and currently going through the whole process! Wish me luck bro, I’ve been learning a lot from you

[@kyleszydlo407]

@adolfoflores660 any update?

[@justblessedman9135]

How much does this pay you or any radiology tech ?

[@Ckshoez]

Once you set everything up with the x-ray tube and table bucky (detent). Don't move the x-ray tube/bucky anymore. Just slide the table. During x-ray school, I saw a lot of my classmate make that mistake. After hearing 3 to 4 clicks on the table and x-ray tube, you know you doing too much. lol Dont be afraid to make mistake. Have fun and learn.

[@xaviernevarez6168]

Awesome video bro, could you do a comparison video between a limited xray tech and a full xray tech? Like the differences between them as far as schooling and work? Thank you

[@babz333]

hey Rey, you inspire me so much. ive been putting college off for along time now but this January. im worried the program is going to be hard but im willing to put in the work! thanks for being great(:

[@XRAYREY]

Tbh there’s going to be an adjustment phase, but if you keep at it and are determined, you’ll do just fine! Best of luck to you!

[@philipbrukwicz7672]

Did you end up getting into the program!?

[@mhayssiejimenez3610]

I'm an ART student from Philippines.. Sadly we never experienced going to the lab. Because we do not have face to face class because of the pandemic.. Thanks for your videos.

[@andrewk8917]

Dude these videos are literally the best!! Even more so during this Covid stuff cause I’m half way through my program (starting clinicals a few months into 2021) and I’ve only been on campus once to go over this stuff in person.

[@XRAYREY]

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad they can help in times like this. Please let me know any other suggestions

Do you have any short vids on how to put the grid into the buckys?

[@blastomanto5687]

Can you explain how to collimate to the ir on Bucky

Thank you!

[@princess8082]

[@sacredsyrena680]

This may be a dumb question... but what exactly is a bucky...? Im so confused in my class

[@XRAYREY]

bucky is simply the grid or the contraption you put the IR in the table or wall

[@Gogies777]

Hi does accidentally adjusting MaS higher can result into excessive and above suggested radiation exposure to the patient?is there a ceiling to avoid for such a thing to happen?Are the settings also recorded with every sessions?thanks

[@XRAYREY]

if it's done time and time again sure. But I wouldn't be concerned if it was just one exam. We as rad techs make sure we use the lowest dose possible on everything image. The settings, as you call them, can be recorded on some rooms.
