Quick reference
| Question | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Which projections are confirmed? | AP and lateral thoracic spine projections. |
| 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? | Thoracic vertebrae, scapulae, ribs 1-10, sternum, lumbar spine, and pelvis. |
| What setup is used? | Table bucky workflow with recumbent positioning. |
| What movement is included? | Patient lateral rotation onto the right side for decubitus positioning, plus patient craniocaudal and mediolateral adjustment. |
| What bone variations exist? | Healthy bone version. |
| Known limitation | Recumbent positioning only. Prone or erect thoracic spine projections are not supported, and vertebrae have low trabecular bone detail. |

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 use with the table bucky. |
| Simulated exposures | Confirmed support for AP and lateral thoracic spine projections. Additional views may be possible depending on patient range of motion and available bones. |
