Rey, I think your channel is DEF one of the most INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL channels out there for aspiring rad techs..not hating, but other rad tech channels just talk about b.s. like how their day went and what they got from Starbucks but you are ALL BUSINESS. Keep em coming brother. Thank you💪🏽🙏
I appreciate the feedback! Just wanted to give valuable material to the up and coming that I knew I would have enjoyed. But that is too funny LOL I may know who you're referring to
Started following your channel in late 2019 when I was upgrading my high school marks and deciding what I wanted to do. Now I'm writing my FINAL exam in my Rad Tech program, and I've got a full-time job lined up for September. Crazy how things work out when you actually apply yourself. Thanks for the inspiration you provided and informative videos. Hope all well is on your end G. Peace!
Rey it's been 10 months since your last upload! Hope you're doing well! I start my RT program August 15th 2022. Your technique card will finally get some use! I have had it since you offered it! Cheers. Ps: 2 years ago I started my journey at 39 years old. I was unsure what field to choose. I came across your channel when you first started and decided RT was my destination. There's Greatness with in and you spread it all around Rey. Thanks for I inspiring myself and many others.
32 years old here, finishing my RT program next week! Similar story for me, his channel helped me decide on which medical program to apply to. Best of luck Travis, have fun and study hard!
@@Tekniix403 thanks for the comment! I appreciate it! I'm happy to hear you are wrapping up your program! Good luck on your ARRT boards! Any other tips for learning materials?
I, too, love a challenge especially when it comes to x-rays. That's why I started traveling and going to trauma hospitals. Give me a portable and a problem and I will solve it. But tonight, I had a doozy. My brain wasn't firing on all cylinders. Thankfully, I found your video right before I got the patient
Just found this channel more informative this others! Great content man! Super appreciate. I’m just starting my prereq. In order to start the program next year. It’s been 12 years since being in college, I’m married with kids now and man what a handful. Anything helps and your channel is awesome!! Thank you!
Love that x table AP elbow! I work in ortho and we have over the elbow casts all the time and getting the proximal and distal in the two parts doesn't always work so that's an awesome alternative! Love watching your videos! I learn stuff every time even though I've been doing this for a few years already.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all of the videos you do. I'm in my 2nd year of rad tech and my 1st year was all online because of Covid. Your videos have been informational and educational for my classmates and I. Trauma x-rays are still new to me so this helps.
you made me feel so comfortable now. i know nothing about x-ray and i just got into the program. we started on our hands and my collimation was off so it hit the ulna. I wish we would practice on eachother instead of phantoms
oh you did find out I posted it LOL That's great to know, that's my soul purpose of these videos. But you hit the ulna? You should have some of the radius and ulna in your hand x-ray.
Nice and useful videos Rey! Very informative especially for new radiologist technologist who come across out of the book scenarios. Greeting from Cyprus!
Thanks for your videos Rey! I've learned so much from your positioning videos and your tips, you've helped me a bunch in getting through clinicals😅 I've been doing clinicals now since May so I feel like your tips have helped me in getting used to the hospital environment and have helped me establish meaningful friendships with the techs and other staff! However, at our site we rarely get trauma, In a couple months i'll be a senior in my program and I'll be starting my 40 hour week clinicals and i'll be getting switched to a different location that most likely may be a trauma center so it's great to see what to do in situations like these! Keep making amazing content man!!👌🏽🔥🔥
Thank you for these videos. Although I'm not in a program yet nor understand what you're doing completely. I love watching your videos just so that it keeps me motivated towards my dream of becoming a RT!
Thank you for making the practical video ! I learned more knowledge of upper extremity from your videos , I will continue to practice myself in positioning .
Can you make a video (or reply with a link to one if you already have covered this) for this series where there is *no free detector*? I'm currently on a placement where the only thing I can do is move the entire bucky... I cannot see how I would be able to do an AP elbow seeing as there would be nothing for my patient to prop their affected arm on. The bed cannot be used for propping the arm up as the tube cannot get low enough to expose the elbow due to the practice not having any slab sponges. I'm quite inexperienced, but would propping the elbow such that the forearm is angled up 45 degrees whilst the elbow maintains its 90 degree flexion, with the tube angled 45 degrees down centred to the elbow crease provide a diagnostic AP elbow? This would be all happening whilst the elbow is resting on the horizontal bucky. I have no idea if that makes sense but also cannot explain that any better through text. The main question here is, if the anatomy and tube are aligned but at 45 degrees to the detector what would the resultant image look like, would there be foreshortening even if there is minimal/no OID?
What kind of marker holder do you use? It looks like they are clipped onto something when you take them off before putting them on the IR. I would like to purchase one if you could let me know. Thank you in advance and for your time.
Ayo rey, been bingeing your videos and all the sudden I get to this one and it's your last?? what's good my g, why ain't you post nothing in the last eight months?
Hello this is off topic. But can you explain to me what exactly do a radiology assistant or radiology aide do as far as clerical work. Do they work with insurance elgibility, front desk work, schedule appointments etc..?? A bit lost
Not too sure since this was posted a while ago if anyone will respond. But with a lateral trauma elbow or forearm, if the patient cannot rotate their wrist so it is "thumbs up", how do you achieve this image? Would you need to angle for a lateral elbow, or do a horizontal beam lateral wrist for a forearm?
of course! LOL It's a 2.5 year interview. Don't let someone ruin your future. I didn't take it personal, I'm here to get my experience, get my license and create a better future. I can't control how rude they are, but I can control how I react. It never got too extreme, but if it did I would have just told my CP or instructor.
I’m running into rude techs now as an MA/XT student. You’re definitely not alone in dealing with that. I’m learning to set aside my differences at this point. Ask questions. Nothing wrong with improving in your educational experience. ❤️
Having experience working as a radtech in my home country and abroad, All I can say is that anywhere you go there’s always a rude, stubborn or whatever it is kind of staff/tech you’ll be working with. Its part of the training as a student. So that when you’re already a tech, you already know how to handle those kinds of colleagues. Having said that, Rey is correct, dont take it personal 👍
Hey Rey! Thanks for these videos. The videos are very helpful… I’m in my 2nd year and I’m still have problems with skull projections/positions. If you could doing a skull video it would be helpful! ☢️
Yes but what if the shoulder is dislocated or head of humerus is fractured too? Then getting the elbow and forearm views become a little more challenging.
You sure know your positioning haha I don’t k anything yet I’m taking prerequisites I’m only 4 more classes until I can get in the program I’m excited tho!!
I have a huge question can you get a IR (inteventional radiology) with this degree? I know I also need a bachelors and a doctorate degree and 5 years of residency.
It would be helpful to mention that the actual images are not the ones you are taking, they are from different studies. Thanks for the ideas of we what to do for trauma cases
save money, be prepared to adjust your weekly schedule to the program, refresh your medical terminology and anatomy, and watch as many YT videos about the program
can you please do more inPORTABLES trauma xrays such as broken femur and your alone and can't do a danny, arms that are in cast and the more difficult xrays that are done in cat 1. like if a tibfib is broken and its in a oblique position how to get an ap and lateral without moving it. stuff that are difficult
Love your videos man! Question though, if you are doing an AP/Lat humerus and forearm, why would you need the elbow as well? Would it not be redundant? Just curious.
you could argue it's against ALARA, but it's what the doctor ordered. The specific view of the elbow, however, gets more detailed views. You also have to think about the divergent beam
Thanks for making this video! I'm sure it helps a lot of people learn. However, I was hoping to see more technique for patients with limited movement that we have to x ray in a stretcher.
I was hoping for that too..someone with a dislocated shoulder/elbow with a fx..also for post reduction pics after casting when they can't move their elbows at all and they are on a stretcher
Rey, I think your channel is DEF one of the most INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL channels out there for aspiring rad techs..not hating, but other rad tech channels just talk about b.s. like how their day went and what they got from Starbucks but you are ALL BUSINESS. Keep em coming brother. Thank you💪🏽🙏
I appreciate the feedback! Just wanted to give valuable material to the up and coming that I knew I would have enjoyed. But that is too funny LOL I may know who you're referring to
12:50 how is that acceptable for a lateral? you shot it as a pa forearm not a lateral
Man you doing God's work for us upcoming Rads! God bless you my friend. I'm liking that shirt!
I appreciate that Jimmy! God bless you as well. And thanks! Get yours on the website =) I'll be posting another style similar to it this weekend.
Started following your channel in late 2019 when I was upgrading my high school marks and deciding what I wanted to do. Now I'm writing my FINAL exam in my Rad Tech program, and I've got a full-time job lined up for September.

Hey, Rey. Your video is some of the best demonstration video out there, keep up the good work!
definitely appreciate the feedback. Thank you so much!
Rey you saved my life today I did a trauma forearm today with horizontal beam thanks to your video.
Great to see you pushing out adaptive technique videos Rey. Keep em' coming!! Harry from UK!
Harry! Greetings from US. Thank you for noticing. I appreciate the feedback
I just found your channel and I am interested in x-rays for some reason you're channel name has a good ring to it

Just purchased my technique chart and it’ll be here on Saturday. I am so happy!
I’m in my trauma rotation now and this helps so much! So informative
yes ma'am! Love to hear it
Thank you for these videos. Although I'm not in a program yet nor understand what you're doing completely. I love watching your videos just so that it keeps me motivated towards my dream of becoming a RT!
that's awesome! definitely setting yourself up for success
Keep up the strong work Rey!
🙏🏽
This is what I wanna go to school for, it's so interesting! Thank you so much for this
You're so welcome!
12:58 Hi Rey. Your markers look very sturdy. Mind sharing where you got them from? 😊
Thank you Rey. Supine trauma upper extremities are the hardest for me
thank you so much this is so informative!!!! you're fluent, articulate, easy to understand and great thank you so much!
Thank you for making the practical video ! I learned more knowledge of upper extremity from your videos , I will continue to practice myself in positioning .
Please keep these videos coming! They help a lot!
will do!
I just took an Ortho job and these patients are so limited in their movements due to fx and surgeries… your videos are very helpful
omg Thank you this video is so helpful please do more trauma cases!
Would you please explain why you gave tube angulation for elbow lateral

A newbie tech here! Having trouble with A pedia trauma elbow just before this video was posted 😬 thanks alot for this video
I'm sure you'll see another soon lol
What kind of marker holder do you use? It looks like they are clipped onto something when you take them off before putting them on the IR. I would like to purchase one if you could let me know. Thank you in advance and for your time.
Looking for other upper extremities projection with different methods. This video is very helpful specially to Rad Tech students like us. Keep it up
Glad it was helpful! More to come
Ayo rey, been bingeing your videos and all the sudden I get to this one and it's your last?? what's good my g, why ain't you post nothing in the last eight months?
This is great! Keep the trauma positioning coming😀😀
Hi I’m curious, it looks to me that you did a Coyle method with the patient’s thumb up? Why? Bc I know that the hand must be flat for Coyle method
Please do more trauma imaging. I need a lot of help with how to manipulate the tube to get the images I need.
Thank you for these videos!!!! This has really helped me be a better tech ❤️
Sir U have a new goods Technics's ... Good job ❣️
how would you do a trauma humerus in a gurney?
Whats the device he is attaching to the board?
Hello this is off topic. But can you explain to me what exactly do a radiology assistant or radiology aide do as far as clerical work. Do they work with insurance elgibility, front desk work, schedule appointments etc..?? A bit lost

How would you do a trauma humerus on the table?
Long time there is no new videos release about related alternatives and supplementary positioning
Hey Rey! Thanks for these videos. The videos are very helpful… I’m in my 2nd year and I’m still have problems with skull projections/positions. If you could doing a skull video it would be helpful! ☢️
Yes but what if the shoulder is dislocated or head of humerus is fractured too? Then getting the elbow and forearm views become a little more challenging.

Thank you, Rey!
you're very welcome
Can you do videos of x rays on body parts like trauma elbow in a gurney please
hi there!
learning some trauma technique from u..thanks for all your vids.🥰❤
-xray tech from the philippines
Thanks for watching!
Omg what do you keep your markers on? Also thank you for this video! Very helpful and appreciated 🤗
Hey Rey, do you know of any good traveling agencies for RT?
Hey Rey it's been 4 months and I'm sure the scene is pretty hectic. Hope you are doing well.
It would be helpful to mention that the actual images are not the ones you are taking, they are from different studies. Thanks for the ideas of we what to do for trauma cases
“Chicken wing this out” lol
hey, I am soon to be in my local rad tech program. Any suggestions on what I can do now to prepare for the course?
save money, be prepared to adjust your weekly schedule to the program, refresh your medical terminology and anatomy, and watch as many YT videos about the program
I HAVE BEEN PRACTING AS IF MY PATIENT WAS IN THE STRECHER AND CANT MOVE, AS YOU SAID ANGLES. PT ON MEDS.
can you please do more inPORTABLES trauma xrays such as broken femur and your alone and can't do a danny, arms that are in cast and the more difficult xrays that are done in cat 1. like if a tibfib is broken and its in a oblique position how to get an ap and lateral without moving it. stuff that are difficult
Can you do a trauma lower extremity video?
Love your videos man!

Do more exams pls. Thanks a lot
Gosh, that tape trick with the $80,000 IR is brave, man
“Trying to dunk” cap 😂
thank you very much
also thanks for subtitle
You're welcome 😊
last image hand not pronated actually true lateral= pretty good
Is that Nick???
maybe....
Hahaha
I have to talk to you
i am x-ray technician radiographer
