## Quick reference

| Question                             | What to expect                                                                                                   |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Which projections are confirmed?** | AP, lateral, and axial hip or pelvic 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?**        | Ilium, ischium, pubis, sacrum, coccyx, L3-L5, right femur, and left femur.                                       |
| **What setup is used?**              | Wall bucky, table bucky, and tabletop detector workflows.                                                        |
| **What movement is included?**       | Internal and external femur rotation on both legs, plus patient craniocaudal and mediolateral adjustment.        |
| **What bone variations exist?**      | Supine healthy bones, collum femoris fracture, ossis pubis fracture, and standing healthy bones.                 |
| **Known limitation**                 | No known limitations for this simulation as of v1.9.0.                                                           |

<Card title="Projection expectations" icon="circle-info" type="note">
  The projections listed on this page are confirmed examples for this simulation module. They do not define the full limit of what can be attempted. The simulator creates an image from the selected anatomy, patient position, joint movement, detector setup, tube position, collimation, and exposure settings, so other projections may be possible when the setup supports them.

## 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 tube locks and detents to the wall and table bucky, enabling standard bucky tray operation. The detector can be used with both bucky and tabletop positioning.                             |
| Confirmed projections | Confirmed examples include AP, lateral, and axial views. They do not define the full limit of what can be attempted. Other projections may be possible when the simulated setup supports them. |

## Anatomy and movement
