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

SCOLIOSIS
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

2. Epiphyseal plate
3. Epiphysis of lateral
epicondyle of humerus
