Explore our advanced CT elbow anatomy library, featuring high-resolution anatomical images presented in the axial plane. This specialist learning module has been developed using thin-slice CT imaging to demonstrate clinically realistic cross-sectional anatomy of the elbow.

The CT elbow section covers the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels and surrounding soft tissues of the distal arm and proximal forearm. Important structures include the distal humerus, medial and lateral epicondyles, capitellum, trochlea, olecranon, coronoid process, radial head, radial neck and proximal ulna.

The module also demonstrates the humeroulnar, humeroradial and proximal radioulnar joints, together with the joint capsule, fat pads and major ligament complexes. These include the ulnar collateral ligament, radial collateral ligament, lateral ulnar collateral ligament and annular ligament.

Muscular anatomy includes the distal biceps, brachialis, triceps, pronator teres, supinator and the common flexor and extensor muscle groups. Their tendons and relationships to the medial and lateral epicondyles are shown clearly across sequential axial images.

The neurovascular anatomy includes the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel, median nerve, radial nerve and its branches, brachial artery, radial artery, ulnar artery and surrounding veins. These relationships are important when assessing trauma, fractures, dislocations, nerve entrapment and preoperative anatomy.

Each axial CT image is manually labelled slice by slice in a textbook-style format, without the use of AI auto-labelling tools. This helps maintain anatomical accuracy and provides a reliable learning reference for radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, trauma specialists, radiology trainees, reporting radiographers and students studying musculoskeletal anatomy.

The labelled images are displayed within a smooth interactive scroller, allowing users to move naturally through the elbow in the same way they would review a clinical axial CT examination. The platform works on desktop and mobile devices, while the full-screen viewer supports detailed examination of small anatomical structures.

The toolbar allows users to search for specific structures using voice or text search. This helps users quickly locate important landmarks such as the radial head, olecranon, coronoid process, capitellum, trochlea, ulnar nerve, distal biceps tendon and collateral ligaments.

The side zoom tool provides up to 10× magnification without loss of image quality, allowing users to examine fine anatomical details and understand the relationships between bones, joints, muscles, tendons, nerves and vessels.

This module is supported by dynamic Level 1 and Level 2 quizzes that generate new questions during every session. These interactive assessments help users actively revise, test their knowledge and retain CT elbow anatomy.
