Unlike the Eligibility or Health questionnaires, which can mostly be encoded as a flat table, the VERITAS questionnaire implicitly records a series of entities and their relationships:
The diagram below illustrates the various entities collected throught the VERITAS questionnaire:

skt_aoi[["right"]] <- skt_aoi[["right"]] + .05
skt_aoi[["top"]] <- skt_aoi[["top"]] + .01
