Are you looking at a portable chest x-ray and wondering, “Is this exposure good enough to trust?” In this video, we walk through how to check chest x-ray exposure step-by-step so you can quickly decide if a CXR is adequately penetrated and ready for interpretation. In this lecture from This is Why, Dr. Busti will provide you with a practical approach to how to read chest x-rays and judge image quality before making clinical decisions.

You’ll learn how to:
Recognize adequate CXR penetration using the “spine through the heart” rule
Apply a simple chest x-ray quality check (rotation, inspiration, projection, and exposure) at the bedside
Improve your confidence with portable chest x-ray technique

The goal = make medical education easy and clinically relevant.
