X-Ray Vision

X-Ray Vision: fast, accessible, fundamental


Start with the most fundamental imaging modality in medicine with chest and abdominal X-rays.

Build a reproducible framework for a disciplined approach to

  • airway

  • cardiac silhouette

  • mediastinum

  • diaphragm

  • abdominal gas patterns

  • obstructions

  • free air

  • verifying placement of tube and lines

By applying a specific algorithm for pattern recognition, learn to extract lifesaving data. Designed for new acute care clinicians, hospitalists, and nurse practitioners, X-Ray Vision builds confidence in the study you will order most often. In acute care, the simplest test often holds the earliest answer.
