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 patient positioning. |
| What movement is included? | Patient lateral rotation onto the right side for decubitus positioning plus craniocaudal and mediolateral adjustment. |
| What bone variations exist? | Healthy bone version. |
| Known limitation | Prone or erect thoracic spine positioning is not supported. Vertebrae have limited 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. |
| Confirmed projections | Confirmed examples include AP and lateral thoracic spine projections. They do not define the full limit of what can be attempted. Other projections may be possible when the simulated setup supports them. |
