Standardized quantitative measurements of wrist cartilage in healthy humans using 3T magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 1 Standardized selection of a slice of interest. A: Axial slice of the wrist in which we initially determined the axis of the anterior part of the Radius (1) (green line) and then the perpendicular sagittal axis (orange line); B: Corresponding sagittal slice in which, we chose the slice going through the proximal part of the capitate (3) and the metacarpal basis (6); C: Corresponding coronal slice showing the radius (1), ulna (5), navicular (4), semi-lunar (2) and capitate bones (3). Arrow indicates the carpal bone length measurement from the lowest point of the capitate to the highest point of the semi-lunar bone.
