Global Capabilities

Use this page to check simulator-wide functions in v1.9.0. These are shared room, patient, control room, and exposure-response capabilities. For details that vary by anatomy, use the region and module pages.

How to read this page

Most capabilities on this page are included in v1.9.0. Items marked as pending are planned improvements and should not be treated as part of this version.

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.

Pending: integrated adjustable grid behavior for the wall and table 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.

Pending: wider CR and DR receptor-size support.

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.

Pending: broader post-processing tools, including brightness, contrast, cropping, and rotation controls.

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.

Pending: CR or DR receptor response with enhanced image quality, DI values, and EI values.

Notes for planning

Always check the relevant simulation module before finalizing a teaching plan. Patient position, joint movement, detector setup, and anatomy vary by region.
