Shoulder Simulation

The patient is errect by the wall bucky in AP position

The simulation includes the following bones:

• Humerus
• Scapula
• Clavicle
• Ribs 1 through 6
• Partial T and C spine

See also visualization of available anatomy.

Joint Mobility in simulation:

• Axial rotation of patient

Bones variations in simulation:

1. A healthy bone version
2. A pathological version featuring a proximal humerus 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 setup uses wall bucky.

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

Known limitations: We acknowledge that, as of software version 1.4, the radiographic tube does not detent to the wall bucky and the plate usage resembles 'free plating' more than bucky. Additionally, the patient should be able to perform transverse movements and internal/external rotations of the shoulder joint to accurately simulate standard views. We are working to address these limitations in future updates.
