Color Atlas of Skeletal Landmark Definitions : Guidelines for Reproducible Manual and Virtual Palpations

This book covers most skeletal landmarks that are palpable through manual palpation and virtual palpation (i.e., using 3D models generated from medical imaging).

Each chapter focuses on a particular bone or segment and includes: a general anatomical presentation of the bone SL (using images to show real specimens and 3D bone models); very detailed descriptions of skeletal landmarks using manual palpation and virtual palpation.

These definitions have been written in order to be reproducible.

Each section includes detailed descriptions of all palpable skeletal landmarks for the current bone.

Each landmark is described on one page. Also each landmark page is labelled by a unique acronym.

The latter should be used for further data exchange and programming in order to guarantee that no redundant label exists.
