Pixy is made of tissue-equivalent materials and has life-like articulations. Students have no difficulty in manoeuvring Pixy into most desired positions.
Pixy is used to demonstrate anatomy and evaluate positioning and imaging techniques. Including kVp, mAs, contrast, optical density, OFD and TFD. Radiographs of Pixy are optically equivalent in density and contrast to human patients.
Pixy permits unlimited exposures and tolerates trainee errors.
