Check anatomy, confirmed projections, patient movement, bone variations, and known limitations for each simulation.
Patient and anatomy
| Capability | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Exam choice | Students can choose exams by anatomical region and case type, such as a healthy pelvis case or a fracture case when that module includes one. |
| Multiple projections | The simulator supports more than 60 standard projections across included exams. Students can also attempt additional projections because the simulator is interactive rather than a fixed image library. |
| Patient positioning | Each simulation has specific preconfigured patient positions, such as erect, supine, prone, or seated, with rotation options from AP toward lateral where the procedure supports it. |
| In-plane patient adjustment | Patient positioning can include forward and backward movement within the plane to support alignment. |
| Joint mobility | Each simulation includes its own set of moveable joints so students can adjust and position the patient where supported. |
| Anatomy and bones | Patients use either high-quality bones with trabecular structures and landmarks or simplified bones with clear landmarks. Both support radiography positioning training. |
| Bone pathology and cases | All simulations include a healthy patient case. Some simulations also include trauma or pathological cases when relevant to the exam approach. |
X-ray suite
X-ray tube
| Capability | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Full tube movement | The tube can move in X, Y, and Z planes, and can tilt and rotate in single-degree intervals. |
| Tube detent | The tube can detent into position at the wall bucky or radiographic table along vertical and horizontal axes. |
| Collimation | Collimation is adjustable, with collimation size estimates shown on the tube display based on tube-to-detector distance and beam angle. |
| Source-image distance (SID) | The tube automatically measures and displays source-image distance on the tube digital display. |
Radiographic table and wall bucky
| Capability | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Partial table control | The radiographic table includes vertical movement controls for select cases where table movement supports positioning. |
| Full table control | The simulated X-ray suite includes a height-adjustable floating tabletop. |
| Interactive table bucky | The simulated X-ray suite includes a sliding table bucky. |
| Interactive wall bucky | The simulated X-ray suite includes a height-adjustable wall bucky. |
Imaging receptor
| Capability | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Dedicated detector plates | Select detector plates are included for specific imaging simulations, including 17 x 17 in and 14 x 17 in formats. |
| Left and right markers | Interactive L and R markers can be placed on the receptor plate or wall bucky. |
Sanitation station
| Capability | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Sanitation station | The simulated X-ray suite includes a handwashing station where students can practice washing their hands and putting on gloves. |
Control room
| Capability | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Adjust technical factors | Students can adjust kVp and mAs to observe how technical-factor changes affect exposure outcomes. |
| Bone visualization | The control room includes a skin-overlay toggle so students can focus on positioning the bones directly. |
| Simple image post-processing | Images can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. |
Exposure response
| Capability | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Raw image response | The image shows raw response changes based on kVp and mAs so students can see how technical factors affect image quality. |
| Realistic bone details | Depending on the selected exam, exposure response can reflect bony landmarks plus trabecular, marrow, and cortical bone structure. |
| Central ray alignment | Exposure output reflects central ray alignment. Large and small errors in tube angulation, tube positioning, or patient positioning are visible in the image. |
| Responds correctly to kVp | Exposure response changes with kVp, allowing optimal, overexposed, and underexposed images. Response depends on the image method. |
| Responds correctly to mAs | Exposure response changes with mAs, allowing optimal, low-density, and high-density images. Response depends on the image method. |
