Scout views of elbow

Lines #1–9 indicate planes of sectioning in the following axial MR series. Interpretation of the scout images can be found in the sagittal series, page 73–74, image #1 and #3.
Note that the radial artery in this series has branched off from the brachial artery before reaching the cubital fossa. The frequency of this variation is about 15%. The artery termed “brachial artery” below might as well be termed “ulnar artery”. However, it takes up the position of the brachial artery.
The forearm is pronated.
