Hi Jeremy,my name is Gabriela and I'm a medical imaging student. I've tried on both ( My PC and my phone) but I can't download the eBook from the link provided. Do you think you can e-mail it to me? Thank you☺
also i read your post about radiation protection , is a world wide issue i think , in my country for example the exposure values of a pelvis will be 80 Kv and 60 mAs. I.E.
Jeremy Enfinger Hi, Thanks. I checked from my mobile and now it’s working. I guess there must be be firewall issues with the laptop I was using. Thanks for the book and the lectures.Keep up the good work. Best Regard, Padmesh
***** It's all about elimination of scatter radiation - using a grid at 100-120 kVp will require no increase in mAs value, and you'll get higher contrast and more uniform part penetration.
i understand that mAs will give me more range to get more quantity of grey , but in a trauma i.e. , the soft tissue is more important than bone? also thanks for the course you posted on twitter!
More shades of gray (therefore more exposure latitude) can be accomplished by increasing kVp - if you start with a fixed, high kVp, the overall mAs value can be lower. Of course, a lot depends on what type of image receptors your're using, but keeping mAs low has a directly proportional relationship to dose.
I would challenge the idea that for trauma, you are more interested in soft tissue. When I think of the word "trauma", I'm thinking of car accidents or blunt-force injuries. Soft tissue is usually only more important on plain radiography when you're looking for foreign body for puncture wounds.
I wish you had chosen a better positioned radiograph of the foot to critique. Using a poorly positioned radiograph should not have been used. Also, if technical factors were given and if you indicated the type of system used, the range and EI numbers it would have been easier to assess the technical considerations.
Office Manager Thanks for your feedback... I'm curious why you think it would be better to use a well-positioned radiograph. I guess my thought was that everyone sees great radiographs in the textbooks, and I wouldn't have much to say if it were a great image. Most of the questions I am asked about these radiographs are "would you repeat this?" Unfortunately, I'm not in a clinical role anymore, so I don't always get all of the information when images are presented to me. Still, I think there are visual cues as discussed that can assess the amount of exposure, although it would be ideal to have the EI.
I understand how using a poorly positioned radiograph helps but if you don't have a properly positioned one next to it, some would think it is properly done even if you say it isn't. I would love to help you if I can. I am a current educator of 18 years and I practiced for 32 years of my 36 year career. I love this type of stuff!
Hi Jeremy, thanks a bunch for your videos. Can I still get my hands on a copy of the ebook you mentioned please, as the link doesn't work
I like your video critiques way better. Thanks Jeremy!
glass1161 Thanks... I've heard a lot of people say that... will make sure to post more :-)
Hi I hope you see this but the links to the image critique book and checklist aren’t showing up for me:(
Enjoying the image critiques!
Link to the checklist doc does not work. Is there another place to get it?
I removed it a couple of years back... sorry.

Sure... is there a preferred email address you'd like me to use?
@@TopicsInRadiography you can e-mail to gabrymihaila@virgilio.it. thank you so much,that is so so kind of you❤👍
@@gabrielamihaila7638 Just sent.
@@TopicsInRadiography Thank you so much Jeremy, I have received it. ❤

I'm not ableto see any of two books you have mentioned here. it says the file is in owners trash. kindly provide new link
I just checked the links and they work on my end.

@@dr.padmeshjain8831 Glad it worked for you!
i'll read your book when i have time, for me is an issue to how to find the correct contrast on images like a Chest x ray.

yeah i was talking about that , thanks !

Office Manager However, you did a pretty good job.

repeat
Explain... Why would you repeat?
