    there are videos on YT about positioning/collimating, unfortunately most of them are demonstrating the best case scenario (which I've never seen in an actual clinic setting). Patient under anesthesia, sandbags used for positioning and you the tech safely behind a shield but I agree a DL video would be cool. More often than not it's.. Doctor: "This is Sparky, he's a 'Caution' 'Will Bite' and has really bad hips. We need pictures of his hind legs/hips/stifles, spine and 2 view Chest/Abdomen." Tech: Okay, are we giving him a normal prep? Doctor: "No, the owner is waiting." or Doctor: "This is fluffy, she's 'Semi Feral' but she was okay in the exam room. We need 2 view whole body x-rays." Tech: "Okay, are we gassing her down?" Doctor: "Just try to get them without it and if you cant we'll call the owner and get them to consent to anesthesia." Both of these scenarios are too common and are unnecessarily risky (for the Techs and patients) but profit/money is more important. Time is money after all and doing things the safe/right way will always take longer. Oh also, your X-ray software should have clear examples of patient positioning and series examples. If not in the software itself, then in the manual. Charts in the XRay room can be helpful too. Sadly, this stuff (along with the lead gloves and lead goggles) are never used at any of the clinics I've worked at. Unless AAHA, The State/OSHA is currently inspecting... Is this right/legal? Nope. Also, with regard to dosimeter levels and XRay exposure... The Hospitals I've worked at care more about money/business, than the people that work for them. So if our dosimeter radiation exposure levels come back too high, we get written up and accused of "taking the badge outside into the sun".. The same goes for exposed hands/fingers of techs ending up in the radiographs. The only thing they care about is whether you crop out the human bones before saving them to the server, because they would get in trouble with the State/AAHA/OSHA if these were found on an inspection. This seems to be pretty common in this field, according to my experience and the people I've worked with. We really need a union or something because there really are no protections for or outside organizations that have the backs of Veterinary Technicians. So stories of abuse of power, getting taken advantage of, manipulation, ect.. are too common.
