What to notice

  • Use this illustration to orient the region and nearby structures.
  • Do not infer a specific diagnosis or tissue lesion from this regional reference alone.
  • Correlate anatomy with the patient's history and examination.

The visual should be interpreted with the accompanying clinical context. PNA avoids using a single image or special test as stand-alone proof of a diagnosis.
