Ankle

Simulation preview and details

Ankle Simulation

The patient is prone on the radiogaphic tabel for an AP ankle by default. Changing to the Lateral ankle position will rotate the patient into the correct body position for a lateral ankle automatically.

The simulation includes the following bones:
  • Tibia
  • Fibula
  • Tarsal bones
  • Metatarsal bones
  • Phalanges
See also visualization of available anatomy.

Joint Mobility in simulation:
  • Foot plantarflexion and dorsiflexion
  • Internal and external hip rotation

Bones variations in simulation:
  1. A healthy bone version
  2. A pathological version featuring a lateralm malleolus fracture
  3. A pathological version featuring a medial malleolus fracture

Radiographic Tube Functionality: The radiographic tube has a full range of motion, including vertical (up/down), horizontal (side-to-side), tilt, and rotation. The cassette can also be rotated, and collimation size is adjustable.

Detector Methods: The detector is setup for use as "free plating", as the patient is prone on the table.

Simulated Exposures: The simulation is confirmed to be capable of supporting at least the following views: AP, Oblique, and Lateral. Additional views may be possible, check the patient's range of motion and the available bones above.

Known limitations: No known limitations for this simulation as of version 1.4

Visualization of available anatomy

The range of possible exposures in the simulation is determined by the available 3D anatomy. Below, we provide a visualization of the bone anatomy, specifically for the healthy variation, which is accessible for exposure within the simulation.

NOTICE: This image is not intended to represent a specific view, ideal standard, or diagnostic-quality image. It is provided solely to demonstrate the anatomy available in the simulator. Please note that image quality in the X-ray Simulator will vary based on user-controlled settings – such as tube positioning, technical factors, and patient alignment. This tool is designed as an interactive simulator and does not guarantee ideal or optimal imaging outcomes unless operated correctly.
