Structures seen in each view

Coronal view:

Lateral side:

1-Radial collateral ligament proper inserted in radius and lateral ulnar collateral proper inserted in ulna.

2-Common extensors tendon.

Medial side:

1-Medial epicondyle which is more prominent than lateral epicondyle.

2-Anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament(from medial epicondyle to ulna).

3-Common flexor tendon.

Sagittal view:

1-Here you can see muscles and tendons.



Axial view:

1-


Above the elbow the radial nerve (arrow) lies between the brachioradialis (Brd) and brachialis muscles (Br) and is typically outlined by a small layer of fat on axial T1-weighted images. The biceps (B) and extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL)muscles are also indicated.


An axial T1-weighted image just above the elbow joint demonstrates that the radial nerve has bifurcated into the superificial radial nerve (arrowhead) and posterior interosseous nerve (arrow). The brachioradialis (Brd), brachialis (Br), the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) muscles and the biceps tendon (B) are indicated.


An axial T1-weighted image distal to the radiocapitellar joint demonstrates the posterior interosseous nerve (arrow) between the superficial (Ss) and deep (Sd) heads of the supinator muscle. The superficial radial nerve (arrowhead) courses between the supinator and brachioradialis muscles into the distal forearm.


The posterior interosseous nerve (arrowhead) is identified between the deep head of the supinator (Sd) and the tendinous proximal edge of the superficial head of the supinator muscle (arcade of Frohse) (arrow).
