Quick reference

QuestionWhat to expect
Which projections are confirmed?PA, lateral, and oblique elbow 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?Humerus, radius, and ulna.
What setup is used?Free-plating detector workflow.
What movement is included?Shoulder internal/external rotation, elbow flexion/extension, and patient anteroposterior and mediolateral adjustment.
What bone variations exist?Healthy bone version, distal humerus fracture, radial head fracture, and ulnar olecranon fracture.
Known limitationForearm supination and pronation are not included.

Projection expectations

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

CapabilityDetails
Radiographic tubeFull range of motion, including vertical, horizontal, tilt, and rotation. The cassette can be rotated, and collimation size is adjustable.
Detector methodsThe detector setup uses free plating.
Confirmed projectionsConfirmed examples include PA, lateral, and oblique elbow 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

AreaDetails
Included anatomyHumerus, radius, and ulna.
Joint mobilityShoulder internal and external rotation. Elbow flexion and extension. Patient anteroposterior and mediolateral adjustment.

Bone variations

  • Healthy bone version
  • Distal humerus fracture
  • Radial head fracture
  • Ulnar olecranon fracture

Known limitations

The forearm cannot supinate or pronate, which limits how accurately some elbow exposures can be simulated.
