X-ray table using Mazda 3 car seat. (a) The back of the seat was fixed at 24 degrees, and the seat surface at 21.5 degrees. The handle that imitates the steering wheel, and the pedals, were placed in the same positions as in the actual vehicle. (b) The midline and left ASIS equivalent positions of the lap belt were marked by wrapping 3 M™ lead foil tape 420 (25.4 mm × 32.9 mm) around each position so that they could be identified radiographically. In each case, the first author palpated and confirmed the center of the abdomen and the left ASIS, and positioned the markings.
