Anyone know why hospitals are now requiring ARRT certification for CT Techs? Is it because Medicare now requires it? I thought I had heard that somewheres....

YES ,both oblique can use for sternum;but from my experience LAO is more better since the heart shadow wont disturbe the image quality.Thre things are vry impotant -1.degree of obliquity of patient (20-25),2.CR such a way to penitrate throuh the mid sternum 3.breathing and KV(KV must be just sufficient)
Thanks

LAO will remove the sternum from the heart shadow. However, A long exposure will cause the heart shadow to blur on an RAO. This essentially increases filtraltion of the beam localy which can aid in demonstrating the sternum.

A doctor (neurosurgeon) that I work for is wanting to buy a new machine, getting rid of our ancient machine that still uses film. He has asked me about getting a c-arm, and using it for AP/Lat & flexion/extension views of the C/T/L spines. He will also use the c-arm to do epidural steroid injections and facet blocks. I wondered if the image made by a c-arm is diagnostic quality? I wondered if it was "legal"? I am located in Arkansas.

Most digital detector C-Arms (rather than Image intensifiers) should be capable of producing diagnostic qulity images. However I know in the UK you would need to have a c-arm with a light beam diaphragm fitted. Screening into position for plain x-rays goes against the principle of ALARP. At the hospital I work in one of the screening rooms has a Phillips machine with a light beam diaphragm for this purpose, so they are available.

Thanks for your efforts in creating this post. I often ask myself in the fast paced environment of A&E X ray if I am justified to pursue further views when not totally convinced by the standard/modified views already obtaned. This post has gave me the reassurance in my beliefs that obtaining a further view is best practice when all clinical, radiographical and physical factors are considered in favor. I know that sounds obvious but these judgements can be pressured in a busy department.

From experience and in-fact current protocol at my Hospital is to not perform scaphoid views until the healing process may take place.. This is due to a scaphoid # being very difficult to identify in the immediate post trauma views. Therefore trauma views for the wrist performed and Pt asked to return for further scaphoid views (4 shot) around 10 days later.

Ok, in that case he probably does use an aluminum filter. I'll have to come up with one, my X-ray machine is just on paper right now, High performance auto ignition coil with a pulse generator producing up to 50,000 volts, some voltage dividers attached to an analog meter to give me a accurate read on output voltage, and a mA meter to monitor filament current. I'll prob be using a New Old Stock, Russian X-ray tube, and use a surplus AGFA intensifier screen to help calibrate my s-ray projection circle size. I used to be a professional photographer, and have probably performed every type of camera operation, and darkroom procedure known including hypering film, inspection developing, print copying with polarized lights, etc. This is essentially the same thing but with photons I cannot see, and such. I also own working GEIGER counters, and an ION detector, and Dosimeters. All are Victoreen civil defense units that I have refurbished and fixed up, and calibrated with known sources.

"Hello!
left colic flexure = splenic flexure (because it is near the spleen)
right colic flexure = hepatic flexure (because it is near the liver)
the hepatic flexure is best seen with the patient in RAO or LPO
the splenic flexure is best seen with the patient in LAO or RPO
" Thanks a bunch! That was a great reminder!

What is the reason that we must have the affected side of the ribs away from the IR, when we do it LAO or RAO? I know when we do it LPO or RPO, the affected side is closer to the IR, but what is the reason that it is away from the IR when we do it LAO or RAO? Thanks...

I think it might be because you want to get the spine and other structures off of the ribs. If you were to image the right ribs in an RAO position the spine would be superimposed on the axillary ribs.

like this article, solved a lot of puzzels.
For the tostevin casset holder, I guess the patient has to placed with their C spine extended out of the x-ray table (with some kind of support)?

Same results can be achieved with a stool and a sponge.
Move the table longitudinaly to its maximum extent in the direction of the patients feet. Place a stool as close as you can get to the end of the table support column that the patients head is at.
Place 45 degree sponge on stool. Place film on sponge. Angle, centre and collimate to film. If you want to add some cephalic angulation, either rotate the tube or angle the patient (presumably on a mat or mattress).
No grid, 70kV for 10mAs, centre around C4 so that the longitudional crosshair of the light field lies along the patients outer canthis.

Hello, I'm a student and this is my first post! Sorry if it's not very exciting.
I have been considering the clinical consequences of some quality assurance test results. In one test, the tube output was measured against a baseline. at 100kVp and 20mAs the tube's output is 50% lower than the baseline (the baseline was 0.12cGy, FFD 100cm), and this occurs on every test. This may seem like a simple question, but when using this equipment what would the clinical consequences be and how would you guys overcome this problem?
I understand that there will be underexposure and increased skin dose, am I on the right track? I feel rather humbled asking this! lol!
