Hey SI, I think you might enjoy a book I've recommended to my students. It's called Time, Distance, and Shielding. It's a medical thriller with an x-ray tech as the hero. It’s a fun read, and it has a lot of stuff in it about patient care. Here's a link to the book on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B088867YHK
@@RockTheRegistry Hey! This actually sounds really interesting. I will give it a go. Thanks for all the work you do to teach students and hope you're keeping safe! Will let you know how I get on with this book.
How does INCREASEing KVP Decreasing patient dose????? That’s everything counter intuitive to what I’ve learned…are you taking digital AEC? Not a fixed technique??? This point is stressed at the end of this video? Please explain
Increasing kVp decreases dose simply bc more x-rays pass through the patient without interaction. Low keV x-rays simply ionize the patient's skin without ever passing through the patient. That's why we use filtration... to decrease patient dose by increasing penetrability of the beam.
Does Increasing KVP increase patient dose????? This is something I don’t understand….since increasing KVP increases transmission!!! The photons blow right through the patient how does Patient dose increase!!!
Did not understand exposure factors till this video! Thank you so much

@@RockTheRegistry Thanks so much man I really appreciate it. I'm a radiography student in the UK and your videos are so helpful!
@@SI-bj6mi Thank you! I have always wanted to meet techs in the UK.

Hello 👋 What book are you using in this particular class? Just curious.
Radiography in the digital age and Digital Radiography and PACS
@@RockTheRegistry thank you
I have problems with the slide behind 15% rule u skipped it very fast sir didn’t explain it in detail I didn’t understand the chart

Increasing kVp tends to decrease patient dose. The main way to increase patient dose is increasing mAs or decreasing kVp.
