In this video, I will be going over the basics of the x-ray room. The everyday buttons and equipment that you will be using. This will obviously be more catered to the freshman or those that are new to the field and interested. I hope this calms your nerves down and gets you less anxious and more prepared for your first rotation. Or, maybe you’ve never seen an x-ray room before and it educates you. Whatever the case may be, I’m excited to have this for you and thank you for stopping by!

[@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.

[@saechao86]

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.

[@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!

[@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!!

[@nercarlosantos9129]

I'm taking BS RadTech as my college course, our online class will start next week. Wish me Luccck ✨

[@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!! 🤩

[@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!!

[@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!

[@jgmartinez3349]

Loving the special sound effects. And Jerry... yep. Keep up the good job guys! I started in a Trauma One Hospital this month. So everything you are posting is building confidence.

[@garnett8500]

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

[@kaleigh291994]

hey there, newly graduated! currently studying for the ARRT! is there anyway you can make a video on study’s tips or what helped you personally on how you passed your test? ngl struggling into image production 😅 please and thank you!

[@DaVo559]

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!

[@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?

[@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.

[@katerin7256]

Needed this video ! Just started the program 1 week ago 🥳🙌🏻

[@dorispita1591]

Hi! I just started the radiography program and find your videos very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to do them.

[@TejRecordz]

hows it so far??

[@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

Thank you so much 🥰🥰 pls more videos on radiologic pathology

[@blissfulmom21]

Thank you!!

[@flowstateinnovation]

This is really well done

[@saechao86]

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.

[@snape-itachiel6167]

great review thank you so much!

[@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/

[@LewinMainzajr-mw8vl]

Keep it up with the work

[@alizaberlas931]

those words at the end!! loved it

[@XRAYREY]

thanks for staying until the end!

[@Always-intentional]

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

[@somthing_cool2257]

what is the reason for tilting the tube? also, great video hopes to see more positioning videos. currently in my first semester.

[@megan7518]

Could you please go over patient transport? Like the different type of artifacts you may need to remove, what you can’t remove (leads and stuff like that) what to do when your pt has IV and oxygen, etc

[@XRAYREY]

nice recommendation! will do

[@cindybabii]

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

[@adavis2015]

Can you make a video on how to do portables? I having a hard time with that lol!

[@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]

feel that...

[@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?

[@500daysofmel3]

this is soooooo good

[@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

[@abdelrahmanelcici8253]

Thank you man

[@shavonreliford6973]

Thank you for showing me how to work the machine

[@XRAYREY]

my pleasure!

[@steves7]

Is there any way we can contact you? I just want to understand more about this program because I’m being pushed into a field that I do not enjoy and Radiologic technology sounds amazing to me

[@reign3642]

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

[@Dee-ct8kv]

Thank you!

Where’d you get the shoes at ?

[@detectiveawesome3579]

[@ponceje2011]

I started training for MRI, but as someone that has slight loss of hearing and slight tinnitus are x ray rooms loud?

[@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.

[@blastomanto5687]

Can you explain how to collimate to the ir on Bucky

[@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.

[@amralfayed1670]

Very good

[@karlsweeting9519]

What is the BUCKY affect? Do you have a video for that? # months until the Program starts

How much does this pay you or any radiology tech ?

[@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.

Hi, there bro, where did you go to school to become x-ray technical. I'm located in San Joee the Bay Area. ?
