Axial MRI of the Proximal Thigh         (Return to List of Available Self-Test Images - Normal Structure)
This is a contiguous series of axial MRI slices of the proximal thigh in a 16y old girl. The first section is the most proximal, and subsequent sections are progressively more distal.You can look at the video frame by frame and try to identify the labelled structures. The answers will be revealed when you click on the appropriately labelled drop-down arrows below the image.
