Nice videos but I hope people don't actually use those techniques he said. 50 at 50 is ridiculously to much exposure to the patient. Raise that Kvp lower that mas
RT here. That's kind of what I was thinking. To play devil's advocate I think it is situational. If the patient showed many rib fractures on the PA chest x-ray, I may be inclined to use a more potent technique that provided a better contrast of bone/soft tissue (e.g. similar to his 50/50 technique). - Typically though I too tend to raise the KV and lower the mas when appropriate. For example the patient in the video, a typical technique I'd use would be 25-40 mas with 60-90 KV (In person, I'd be a better judge of the patient's size/weight/muscle-fat density which would be some of the predominantly determining factors). To guestimate; I'd probably use 30 mas at 75 KV for the upper ribs, and 35 mas 80 kv for the lower (on this patient). Note* The technique would always be subject to change depending on how each image is materializing. Good comment A Chilson.
We raise the mas lower kv because we want a short scale with a high contrast for ribs. Want to see the ribs and not the lung field. For a chest its opposite higher kv and lower mas.
Thanks for making these videos man, i appreciate it!
THANK YOU!!!! Good video, was perfect to refer to! (second year student here)
Great summary! Thanks
Although I graduated and working on my MSc degree now but i enjoyed this video ❤️❤️❤️
Very good. I like your explanation.
same here
Thank you!
I am studying for a test and have learned 85 kVp @ 12.5 mAs. Is that because the equipment I am learning on is newer?
Prof. Jeffrey great videos. Very educational. One thing I would like to point out is that shouldn't we suppose to use 10X12 for lower ribs?
I just want to say thank you.
how to demonstrate anterior right ribs fracture clearly?
Is it right to do right anterior oblique (RAO) or the otherwise oblique is better.
tq.
Right rib fracture. You should do PA and LAO
RAO is correct. You’re looking at side down so your right side and your anterior side should be against the Bucky.
I believe we need to know which part we are looking for: anterior or posterior ribs, are we?

It depends on the generator type guys. This is an older video and at his hospital or clinic, they may be using an older, less powerful generator.
Yes it almost sounds like film techniques with a less powerful generator. Today's DR is good around 85kv 16mas
We raise the mas lower kv because we want a short scale with a high contrast for ribs. Want to see the ribs and not the lung field. For a chest its opposite higher kv and lower mas.
And collimation ?!! Meaning ?!
Thanks sir l m Indian
What if the patient can't breathe good
What is the kVp and mAs?
It's Factors of radiation
Why PA? Do the ribs AP since it gets the ribs closer to the film but I guess that's just me being overly cautious with positional anatomy
You would do them PA when the injury is to the anterior portion of the ribs.
What dose anterior mean !??
The front side of the body, opposite to posterior, which is the back side.
