Quick reference
| Question | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Which projections are confirmed? | Supine PA, lateral, and PA axial skull views. |
| Can users try other projections? | Yes. These are confirmed examples. Other projections may be possible when the simulated setup supports them. |
| What anatomy is included? | Cranium, upper cervical spine C1-C6, occipital condyles, frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone. |
| What setup is used? | Free plating or table bucky workflow with the patient supine. |
| What movement is included? | Cranium flexion, extension, and rotation; jaw depression and elevation; and patient craniocaudal and mediolateral adjustment. |
| What bone variations exist? | Healthy bone version. |
| Known limitation | Supine positioning only. Upright or prone skull projections are not supported. |

Imaging capabilities
| Capability | Details |
|---|---|
| Radiographic tube | Full range of motion, including vertical, horizontal, tilt, and rotation. The cassette can be rotated, and collimation size is adjustable. |
| Detector methods | The detector is set up for free plating or table bucky. |
| Simulated exposures | Confirmed support for supine PA, lateral, and PA axial views. Additional views may be possible depending on patient range of motion and available bones. |
Anatomy and movement
| Area | Details |
|---|---|
