On “Series” you can directly access the radiological images of the pectoral girdle, shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand and fingers. The anatomical structures were labeled by Antoine Micheau M.D. (Radiologist, Montpellier – France), using the Terminologia Anatomica.
Hand and wrist X-rays can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach they become much clearer. In this guide you’ll learn the essential anatomy, how to read the key X-ray views, and the common pitfalls that lead to missed injuries.
The carpal bones are formally part of the wrist and are discussed extensively in the wrist x-ray course. Characteristics of a normalhand/finger x-ray: Symmetrical joints where the bones do not overlap (except the carpal bones and the base of the metacarpal bones).
The following radiographs show the normal anatomy of the wrist and hand. Mnemonic for the bones of the wrist: S ome L overs T ry P ositions T hat T hey C an't H andle.

What is a handX-ray? A handX-ray (radiograph) is a test that creates a picture of the inside of your hand. The picture shows the inner structure (anatomy) of your hand in black-and-white. Calcium in your bones absorbs more radiation, so your bones appear white on the X-ray.
The hand bone X-ray provides a detailed anterior view, showcasing the joints that enable the hand’s wide range of motions and functionalities. This imaging technique is fundamental for studying hand anatomy.
