However, it is not sufficient to diagnose a specific disease because the diagnoses and prognoses may arise depending on how much the given case differs from the norms of bone age. It enables the evaluation of the child’s development and is an important diagnostic factor. The anatomical labels are available in Latin (Terminologia Anatomica), French, English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Italian and Chinese.Currently, bone age is assessed by X-rays. On “Series” you can directly access the radiological images of the pectoral girdle, shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand and fingers.Īll of the structures were labeled using the Terminologia Anatomica. On “Anatomical parts” you can choose between two types of labels: bones and joints. Lastly, frontal and side-views of the fingers show their bony structures and joints: proximal, middle and distal phalanges, metacarpophalangeal joints, interphalangeal joints, base, body, head and tuberosity of each phalanx.Īnatomical structures of the upper limb using plain X-Rays Radiographs, Hand, Digiti manus : Oblique view Plain frontal and side-view X-Rays of the wrist show the lower extremities of the radius and ulna, the radiocarpal joint, the carpal bones (scaphoid, capitate, trapezium, trapezoid, hamate, lunate, pisiform and triquetral) and the carpometacarpal joints.Īnatomy atlas, Radiographs, Wrist : Anterior-posterior viewĢ X-Ray images of the hand (AP and oblique views) show the carpal bones, the bones of the hand (metacarpals) and fingers (phalanges). Radiographs, Forearm : Anterior-posterior view Joint, Cubital region, Radiographs, Anatomy : Lateral viewįrontal and side views of the forearm show the radiological bony structures of the radius and ulna. The radioanatomy of the elbow is studied via an AP X-Ray image and one in profile, showing the medial and lateral epicondyles, the olecranon, the head and neck of the radios, the radial and olecranon fossae, the humeral trochlea and the anatomical structures composing the humeroulnar joint, humeroradial joint and proximal radioulnar joint.Įlbow, Radiographs : Anterior-posterior view Radiographs, Arm, Humerus : Anterior view Shoulder, Pectoral girdle Shoulder girdle, Radiographs : Anterior viewįrontal and profile views of the arm show all of the bony structures of the humerus (head, surgical and anatomical necks, body of the humerus, olecranon fossa). The following images are plain X-Rays of the shoulder (AP view and Y view), to study the radioanatomy of the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular joints, the neck and head of the humerus, the scapula and glenoid fossa, the acromion… The following image shows the clavicle in an AP view, with its sternal and acromial extremities, conoid tubercle and the body of the clavicle. The first X-Ray image is focused on the pectoral girdle seen from the front, allowing us to study the clavicles, sternum and sternoclavicular joints. This educational tool was created specifically for radiologists, radiology technicians students, emergency medicine specialists, orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists, but it is also suitable as a support and educational tool for all practitioners, doctors or students involved in pathology of the upper limb (radial fracture, shoulder pathology, inflammatory elbow pathologies, tendinitis or tenosynovitis of the wrist and hand). This radioanatomy module on the upper limb presents 16 radiographic images with 112 structures labeled.
