Radiographs of

Radiographs of Upper Extremity and Back
Many radiographs are from the collection of the
Department of Radiology, Joan C. Edwards School
of Medicine labeling of those images done by
Matt Harper, Class of 2010

PA Radiograph of lumbar spine 1- Body of
vertebra T12 2- Rib 12 3- Transverse process of
L1 4- Spinous process of L1 5- Pedicle of L2 6-
Inferior articular facet of L3 vertebra 7-
Superior articular facet of L4 vertebra 8- Body
of Vertebra L4 9 - Spinous process of L5 10 -
Sacroiliac joint 11- Location of intervertebral
disc

SCOLIOSIS
4
TREATMENT OF SCOLIOSIS Anterior-posterior
radiograph of scoliosis patient after insertion
of metal rods to 'fuse' adjacent vertebrae. Rods
prevent movement between vertebrae due to
compression or stretching of lumbar spinal
nerves (pain in lower extremities).

SHOULDER AND ARM OF 4.5 YEAR OLD CHILD Long
bones grow at plates of cartilage called
epiphyses (or epiphyseal plates). Epiphyses
become ossified at different ages but are readily
apparent in young children. Cartilage is not as
dense as bone and appears darker in radiographs.
DO NOT MISTAKE EPIPHYSES FOR FRACTURES 1. Head
of humerus 2. Epiphyseal plate 3. Epiphysis of
lateral epicondyle of humerus
