Trauma Cross table hip

‪@x-rayeducation2277‬ Radiography students practicing cross-table lateral hip for TRAUMA imaging. The affected leg cannot be moved, so don't try to rotate it or abduct it or flex it! Get the UNAFFECTED leg out of the way, then line up for a 45 degree angled shot through the groin area. Shielding can be used, but must not cover any of the anatomy of interest so be careful.

Thank you! I appreciate this video as a student getting ready to practice for simulations!

He didn’t show where the CR ray was cause he didn’t move the camera so we could see the light on the part only a little bit was showing from where he had the camera.

As a retired radiographer I have performed this difficult procedure hundreds of times. My recommendation is to set the tube and the cassette in position well before you attempt to raise the opposite let. If you use a 35x43cm focused grid, you will need to angle it to ensure there is no grid cut off. If this sounds illogical, you probably fall into the trap 75% of qualifieds do where there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the geometry of a projection. ruclips.net/video/mZPD_gLs5Dw/видео.htmlsi=e5HMqOBuOfOlomlu. You should be able to collimate well within the limits of the cassette and the skin edge. Not collimating well may triple the radiation dose and that may be significant for people who remain in the xray room as the scatter energy relates to the primary beam energy. I would also use an aluminium wedge filter

is that danelius miller method?

Yes it is. You can find it described in most positioning text books.
